Sony. Why Sony why? Why in your right mind would you release another Mini-Disc player based off of your proprietary mini-disc format? Do they even sell MDs anymore anywhere? I never see them in the US, but maybe they are still huge in other places. Whatever, here is the scoop on Sony’s latest.

The XM-C17 from JVC will be available in 3 colors- Silver, Blue and Red. Continual playback of approximately 11 hours is possible with 20% charge. The portable MD player has quick charge “function”. The boosting charge time, can be viewed in the liquid crystal display of the player as well as on the remote control. Approximately continual playback of 250 hours (LP4 mode) is possible while using 3 alkaline cells.

Sounds like a winner, if the year was 1993. Too little, too late.
