The soft spot I have for Panasonic portable MD players is big, squishy, and quite frankly, TMI. What makes it so? Panasonic make it so. In general Panasonic built their portable MD units nice and tight. In my opinion, they are second only to Sony. Solid metal, hard-braced corners, recessed bolts, solid buttons, and sturdy battery compartments.
