Sony Portable Mini-Disc Player/Recorder (MZ-G750DPC)
The battery ghost drains my power
Overall I am very pleased with this product.  However, I have one complaint.  Even with both the unit and remote locked, it seems that battery power drains while the unit is turned off.  I don't use the thing all that frequently (maybe once or twice a month). However, there have numerous times when I have been on a plane (I fly every week for business) and wanted to listen to some music and couldn't because the battery has mysteriously drained itself of power.  So, now I must remember to remove the battery when I am done listening.  And, I have never had a battery (either rechargeable or alkaline) last for 6 hours of playback, as some have claimed.<br />Other than that, the thing works perfectly.  Somenone said it is a bit tedious to copy music from CDs.  I have over 200 CDs I would copy songs from, but downloading MP3s from my laptop onto the minidisc is so easy, I don't even bother copying from my CD collection (It seems that 90% of the songs I download from the net I already own on CD).
