| the buffer is between 5-10 seconds. This sounds bassackwards to me;
| wouldn't the full 10 seconds of memory offer longer battery life than
| just, say, 5?

Nope.  The power consumed by the player mechanism is the same, regardless
of the size of the buffer.  The power consumed by the buffer is in addition
to that; the larger the buffer, the more power is required to maintain it.

|   Also, I wonder how it determines the amount of time (it specifically
| says "5-10 seconds of sound information is stored in memory" when on)
| when the auto power save feature is on?

My guess is a bit of heuristic guesswork, based on how much buffer it needs.

| playing mono (and mono/stereo mix) discs in my two Sony units... Are
| there any MD units out there that *won't* play mono discs?

Dunnow.  I've never tried it.
