[pct-l] mp3 or mini-disk?

[dilorenz@xxxxxxxxxxx (Mike DiLorenzo)]

Sony claims that the S2 Sports Net MD Walkman Player/Recorder ($149) has up
to 54 hours playback using one =93AA=94 battery (LP4 Mode).  LP4 mode would=
 be
the lowest quality mode of recording (and conversely the mode with the
highest storage capacity).

Any mini-disk users out there care to offer comments on battery life?
