1992 MZ-2P: Playback-Only Companion

Released alongside the MZ-1, the MZ-2P offered a simplified introduction to MiniDisc. By removing recording functions, it positioned the format as a consumer music player as well as a recording system, reinforcing Sony’s intent to build an ecosystem rather than a single flagship.
With the format established, Sony shifted its priorities. Size, battery life, and everyday usability became central concerns. During this period, MiniDisc began to split into multiple identities: music players, voice recorders, and hybrid systems that bridged home and portable use. The technology stabilized, and MiniDisc started to behave like a product rather than an experiment.
