What factors affect my Sony MZ-R50 MP3 player’s battery life?
• Type of storage device – Sony MZ-R50 MP3 players that use a hard disk drive (HDD) to store the music usually tend to use up more power since the disk(s) must continuously be rotated as new files are accessed. Solid state (SSD or flash) drives tend to be the more efficient of the two since they require no moving parts to access files. • Volume – The higher the volume you set your Sony MZ-R50 MP3 player to, the more power it will require. • Size of headphones – Large headphones require more power to operate their speakers. • Navigating through the menus – The more you navigate through the Sony MZ-R50 MP3 player’s menus, the more power it requires to respond to each of your commands. If you have a “shuffle” feature, it is recommended to extend runtimes.
