Matsu****a SJ-MJ95

Will self-proclaimed Romeos be able to keep up with the longest-playing portable MD player in the world?

Self-proclaimed Romeos the world over have a reason to get really, really nervous this month as Panasonic announced the worlds longest playing portable MD player. With 210 hours of shagging muzak playing in the background its time to put up or shut up? You can either last the distance or you can crash and burn to the dulcet tones of Nellys Hot in Herre.

The SJ-MJ95 records at a sampling rate of 44.1KHz and uses ATRAC3 encoding. Its launched with a separate, free-standing set of stereo speakers and a cradle-type recharging station, the MJ-95 has a sleek, entirely button-free front panel and comes in gold, silver or deep-blue finishes.

You can buy those in the US as well. Panasonic just announced them. BTW, Matsu****a and Panasonic are the same company for those who are wondering. Know what would have been a good idea? A display on the top of the CD player which changes directions when its mounted. That would have been hella tight, then it could have been used as a real clock radio/CD player unit.

This product is wicked. I totally dig the idea of a dockable portable attached to a mini system.

Cool to look at, but I think MD is way too expensive and is a soon to be dead format. Anyone else think so too?
