I didn’t bring my iPod with me to London and instead pulled out my neglected minidisc player. Why would I do this? well two reasons really. One because I don’t want my iPod to get stolen and I wouldn’t really care that much if my MD player was, and secondly my iPod can really only run for 8 hours before recharge. I didn’t want to lug my adapter and plug convertors over with me, so the MD player’s 50 hour charge on 1 AA battery life comes in handy.
