I really enjoy the Iomego Multimedia Player and the price for the 1TB was unbeatable. The ease of setting up and using it was without effort!
I recommend this to item to anyone who has an external hard drive with movie and video media.
Super Easy to set up and use! December 17, 2009

I am so happy I recieved this! Its super simple to hook up to my computer and transfer over my music and picture and video files. You just copy and paste over the media files. On my computer I used a HDMI cable to connect as long as you follow the activation instructions. I am able to listen to music with ease instead of burning music on my computer to disk, and such.
I also went to see my family and brought with me. I wanted to show them pictures and videos of my life and horses and this was done easily as I brought the unit with me and again hooked up to their computer with ease. If you have a lot of photos, videos and such this is so great to have. Glad I have it!
 Great storage for music media and playback through home theater system November 15, 2009

Let me say upfront that my needs and motivations for the Screenplay Media Player are probably a bit different from many users -- I was not really interested in the ability to play back movies or DVDs since I have a ROKU box which allows streaming of movies directly from Netflix and Amazon. I do not shoot movies so playing back home videos was not a priority.
So why do I love this device? Music! I have a very LARGE CD collection -- my husband has a huge collection of "modern music" and I have a large collection of classical music. I wanted a way to play our collection through our main stereo system without having to feed a CD player or pick and choose which play lists on an IPOD.
First, a bit of background about our home theater system (since that cause some readers confusion):
We are not playing the music through the TV -- we don't even play the TV through the TV. We run the audio portion of the TV and other video components through an Acurus home theater pre-amp, Marantz monoblocks which are driving Newform Ribbon speakers and a transmission-line sub-woofer in order to achieve full sound quality -- which using to play MP3s is a bit of overkill.
I had the Philips NP2500/37 WiFi Internet Radio Network Music Player with Rhapsody (Black) which would play my collection that was sitting on my computer. However, there were a couple of things I wasn't wild about the Philips solution. First, Philips only really supports MP3 which is a lossy format. Since my music had been ripped to Lossless (or near Lossless format), I had to convert my collection to MP3 format into another folder in order to play back my collection via the Philips Music player. Second, the Philips requires that your computer be up and running (along with network connection and additional "server" software running on your computer in order for it to work). If I just wanted to playback the music but wasn't using my computer, I was out for luck.
So I was attracted to the Iomega Media Player as a way to solve the things I didn't like about the Philips solution and it is a much better solution for me. Things that I think are much better about this solution:
1. Since the iomega Media player is essentially a disk drive (and a BIG one at that!), you have a backup of all your media files. Very good!
2. Cost... TeraByte drive for one hundred fifty bucks! While there may be cheaper hard TB hard drives out there, they do not support the home theater playback that the Iomega system supports.
3. Ability to playback my library in any format I throw at it -- I don't have to convert to MP3 or sacrifice sound quality by going with a Lossy Format.
4. Once you have backed up your files, you don't have to worry about special software on your computer, having your computer running all the time, having a network connection going to the device.
5. Ability to view home pictures (jpgs) on the big screen... I have to admit that I didn't think I would really care about this feature. However, I remember when I was a kid, some of our best times as a family was when my dad would set up the slide projector and slide screen and go through old pictures. With the Media player, this is the modern day equivalent.
Things I'm not wild about:
1. The only way to transfer files from the computer to the hard drive is via a USB connection. So if you get a new CD that you want to add to your collection, you have to either disconnect the Media player from your system and bring it over to your computer, or you have to take your computer over to the media player.
2. As someone else pointed out, only one power supply despite the potential need to move the media player back and forth from the media center to your computer -- it would be nice to just unplug from one place and plug in near your computer or even have some battery life for short-term transfers.
All in all, I really like this system because it does what I want it to do -- play my music library without needing to make sure the computer, network, and server software are all functioning properly. It actually does more by creating a way to simulate "slide shows" that brings our family together for some good laughs and memories. I haven't really tried the video capabilities but really don't need that since video is really going more towards real-time streaming from sources like Amazon. And if you use it for nothing else, the price for a terabyte of hard disk space is phenomenal and worth the price of the device by itself.
