Manufacturer's product description
Introducing the HipZip Digital Audio Player. This portable device gives you skip-free, CD-quality sound in a cool, compact design. The HipZip Digital Audio Player offers you solid protection from accidents or spills. And the full metal housing on each PocketZip disk offers an equally durable media. One 40MB PocketZip disk carries over 80 minutes of your favorite music that you can play on your HipZip digital audio player. Move your music from one PocketZip disk to another without any reformatting, and then carry it in your HipZip digital audio player wherever you go. Whether you're in your office or at the football game. PocketZip disks are uniquely serialized, so your player can tell one disk from another. You use your serial number to lock content onto your disk. Also, the Windows Media Player 7 comes with Windows Rights Manager, so your content cannot be opened on an unauthorized disk.

Advantages reasonable quality, supports multiple formats, battery life Disadvantages removale media is low capacity
...A reasonably good portable Mp3 player that suports WMA (Windows Media Format, lower file sizes mean more tracks) and MP3 audio formats.
Updates are released on the manafacturers website for the player firmware and compatability, so ocassionaly the features are updated or glitches repaired.
Simple menu driven control system to play files controlled by a direction(up/down) and a select button on the unit. Standard play/stop program/skip etc - all the standard audio features you would expect. A simple equaliser provides some control over how the audio sounds but is very limited.
The device can aslo be used a portable/removable storage device. Includes two disks (64MB) which really dont hold much music.
One of the main points of mp3 is the music quality, at a reasonable bitrate you can fit 12 songs onto one of the media, if you...
