Ah, the mini-disc, loved it, and it developed quite nicely. My first one was a Sony [0]. It had 3 hours (they said 4 but meh) on one special li-ion battery (and 6 when I hooked up an external 2 AA compartment, they said 10 but no). When my wife got one, shortly before they got out of fashion hers could run for 40 hours on a single AA battery and fit 4x the amount of music on a disc.

- throwanem 6y agoThose were NiMH batteries - I have the same model, got it back in high school with summer job money. Don't leave the "gumstick" battery in the unit; it will leak and swell, and taking the unit apart far enough to clean the contacts is an exceedingly fiddly job despite the excellent service manuals Sony used to put out. The things are the electromechanical equivalent of a Swiss watch.
