I bought a lot of TDK CDing tapes in the late 1990s which normally played fine in a mains powered machine, but sometimes would go slow on a personal stereo at the middle of a side. This wasn't battery related as normally the sound would get back to normal by the end of the side, but I guess the tape was sticking slightly & the motor couldn't play at the right speed.

Tapes seemed to get better after being recorded on twice, but on some it seemed to come & go.
