Summary: Ain't nothing but a pretty face
Review: Well, I ve had this player for a while now, about 8 months I'd say. Out of all that time it's been in the working condition for about 3 months only, and that is including the 2 replacements iOmega sent me after the previous player broke down. As a player, it's a pretty great thing, with tremble/bass adjustments and all that a player should have, BUT since it's zip disk input keeps breaking down, I would not recommend it to anyone, unless they plan on using just one zip disk and never take it out (if you do take disks out and put them back in, chances are that they will get stuck on the 50th time, and have fun ordering the replacement). The only thing saving it from a "1" is that I really liked it 'till it broke down.

Summary: It's good but not really
Review: Well i bought this product because i tghout that it would be better than the other player. Iomega has released two mp3 players, but this one is worse of the two. The other one has a better displey, it is much easier to see what songs are playing and the options. This one is a list format, so if you want to choose something, you have to go through the whole list. Also, another drawback that i found out was that this pleyer will not play songs that have "scratches" on them. The other player would play whatever you would load on it. This plyers advantage over the other is that it has a nise belt on it so you could clip it to your belt and run. The other can be used for workout but you will need pockets.
Bottom line is that the other player gave me less trouble. Oh, yeah the battery power for the other player lasted longer then this one. The are practically both the same, but i prefer the other player.

Summary: Sorta Ok
Review: This worked alright for about 6 months, then the plate that covers the LCD screen popped off. Well, just reglued it, but whatever. Its most recent problem is everytime I turn it on, it makes a very odd grinding noise before proclaiming the disk unknown. Once working, it spontainously freezez and you must use the restet button to fix it. I would not recomend this device, get a Rio, let fancy, but better.

Summary: great when it works
Review: I've used the HipZip for over a year now and primarily use it biking or at the gym. I've had to replace it once due to hardware problems (the player no longer recognizing the discs) and the new player is now doing the same thing. The player is now out of warrenty and it'll cost me 70.+ to replace it.I figure two chances is enough to get it right. I'm buying something else. I hope Iomega figures out this problem bucause it's a great player when it works.

Summary: Alright for about a month!
Review: When I first got a HipZip it [stunk]! It didn't even turn on even if I charged it for 24 hours. So I returned it and got a new one. That worked for a month but now both of the little Click! Disks don't work and the MP3 player says "Disk Incompatible." Maybe it's because Miami is humid, but I think you should look elsewhere because this MP3 player is cheap! I recomend something like the Creative Labs Nomad IIc 64mb player. Don't get this MP3 player it's just trouble!

Summary: I'm Shocked
Review: I bought this product when it was fresh off the line, mainly for the cheap memory expansion that it offered with the zip disks. I am a high school student so of course I took it to school, to listen to on the bus or where ever. I don't know what caused it but after about two months of using this product the battery life greatly lowered. It lowered to about 1-2 hours before it needed recharging again. It's a great product otherwise but the fact that the irreplacable batteries go bad after only a few months is a big dissapointement for me. I recomend not buying this product simply for the decrease in battery life.

Summary: x2 RMA's
Review: While I really like this player, I am dissapointed that I've had to RMA twice to Iomega w/ a disk jammed in the player. The initial firmware in the player was also junk, Iomega thankfully release an update that fixes most of my complaints.

Summary: When it works, it's great
Review: This is a great unit -- when it works. It has some serious reliability issues, however. Although it hasn't happened to me very often, the unit locks up occasionaly, requiring the user to reset the unit with a paper clip. If you visit iomega's web site and drill down into the user-to-user forum for the HipZip, you'll see numerous angry posts and gripes about freezing and diskette-drive malfunctions. Several folks are on their third replacement unit. (I understand that iomega no longer makes this device.) Also, the design engineers' decision to equip the unit with a non-replaceable rechargeable battery was just plain stupid.

Summary: MP3 Player & So Much More : )
Review: The HipZip has proven to be one of the most usefull gadgets that I have ever purchased. Not only does it play MP3s and WMAs flawless. It is also the most usefull portable drive that I have ever used. Transporting and backing up data to the HipZip is as easy as 1,2 (Drag,Drop) because Windows just sees the player as an external drive. Simply put if your looking for a good MP3 player that also serves another purpose, your looking for the Iomega HipZip Digital Auido Player.
