Summary: Watch Out
Review: I got this item for my birthday just after Christmas and was really excited to get it up and running. i was immidiatly disappointed for inside the box there was no software and no manual. I was able to use the iomega website to get music loaded, now take it to the gym for a good workout. However, I could not get the thing to run off of the battery. The battery will not take a charge apparently. It is difficult to tell since there is no icon on the screen telling you that the thing is hooked up at all, or how much charge is in the battery. This item seems to be a complete bust, too bad, it had tons of promise. Try to avoid buying one.

Summary: Great MP3/Digital Audio Player
Review: I've owned this player for 9 months and it is great. To answer a couple of past reviews - Iomega has update the firmware (available at their site) where the shutoff time is now 2 minutes and the playlists are now saved when it shuts down. There are a few other enchancements also (See update documentation). Disks are very durable - but care must be taken when inserting - it must be done exactly with care. Do not force. This player is also a very good audible player for listening to audible books (audible.com) - very easy to use. Disks do not hold as much music as more higher memory units but extra disks are easly to cary and also this unit can be used as a drive for the computer - so music files can be easily transfered to the disk through Windows Explorer with no additional music controling program needed.

Summary: poor quality
Review: When I first heard about this product I was amazed and I recommended it to a friend and we got it together. Guess what happened next, both of us had the same problem- the disk got stuck in the player and it no longer recognizes anything. I don't see how Iomega released so many faulty units(maybe it's not faulty it's just very very poor quality). Anyway though it's a great product the likeliness you'll need a replacement soon is too high and I guess it ruined the christmas of many people. I recommend you to either think twice before buying this or be prepared not to be surprised if it breaks down with the problem above.

Summary: its ok so far
Review: ok, so there are a lot of good things about this mp3 player and a few down sides to it. installing the stuff was real simple but i found you dont really need the user's manual one. In about 30 min i had 10 tracks on 1 disk i think i can put about 2 or 3 more on too. It is smaller than the pictures made it look like i thought it was going to be huge, but i fits in my hand. After many trials i have not got it to skip. Now for the bad, there are moving parts you can hear them when it starts i think there reading to track. i have had a few small problems with the disk getting stuck in the drive. I also think this little blue top is going to fall off. The headphones (...) so get some good ones. I think it is a great mp3 player for ($) and the disks are real affordable even though the 80mb is going to hold everything i need. A great product!!

Summary: Battery could not lost a second
Review: The manual said to charge the battery about 2hrs as initial charging I charged it about 2hrs I installed the software, connected it to the computer thru the USB port, every thing was working great I transferred some mp3s to the player. After that I disconnected everything. I then just connect the headphones to the player and tried to turn on the player. But there is nothing. The player couln't be turned on.If I connect the player with the power supply, then everything will work again. The battery is not taking the charge! I can't go around carrying the power supply with a mp3 player! There is no sign on the LCD that says "Charging" when I plug in the power supply. What is your suggestion? HipZipP/N: 30370200

S/N OFAA481AE3 I do like the concept of a mp3 player and a external drive to my computer. How long to Iomega process exhanges? The Web site email support...doesn't let me choose HipZip (no such option) I selected Pocket Zip USB drive Iomega is laying off people (don't know if it is the HipZip people) I feel so bad because this is what I got for myself for Christmas. Now it is 12:14 a.m. 12/26/2001

Summary: Wonderful audio player!
Review: I bought an Iomeha Hipzip from Outpost.com and I have been using it all the time. The Hipzip is a great MP3 player with a lot of good features. Because this MP3 player uses Zip disks, it really does make collecting MP3's more affordable. I haven't had any problems with my player, and like everyone else says, the headphones really are crappy. I don't think that it's a big deal that the headphones are poor quality because I'm sure it's because Iomega assumes that most people have a decent pair already. The player itself isn't all that big like most people say. I personally like a player that has a bit of something to hold on to, not something with buttons so small and close together that it makes them awkward to push. The player does make some disk loading noises, but they are really nothing to worry about. The player has some nice features on it and great sound, and I really like the fact that it is easy to upgrade the firmware. Being able to upgrade the firmware really expands the future possibilites of the player. All in all it is a great player for the price and recommend it.

Summary: junk
Review: I got this MP3 player for Christmas, and it lasted about 5 minutes before the disk got stuck in the player. After we finally got the disk out, the player would not recognize either of the two disks that came with the player.

Summary: This thing is AMAZING! I love it!
Review: I an Iomega HipZip for Christmas and I couldn't be happier. The little thing is amazing. It's not very big at all, comes with everything including a case. TWO PocketZips (each 40MB) and can do both MP3s and WMAs(WMAs can hold entire CDs on one disk). All I have to say is that this is a VERY good MP3 player. And for $...! You better get one before they raise the price!
