After hours of research and humming and hawing I finally purchased the iOmega HipZip. The HipZip has excellent sound and is very easy to use. The iOmega uses 40 Mb minidiscs which can be written and rewritten until they wear out. The advantage is that with the Memory (Flash) Cap on other players, you can spend $10 a disc and still have excellent usability without forking out hundreds of dollars. Another great feature is that you can also store data and documents on these discs and upload to other computers. At retail $179 CAD its the best buy for the money.
