The Walkman was the cassette player. Weren't the CD players called the Discman?

Now I'm sad that I'd lost my Walkman more than a decade before that, in or around 1990. The Discman sounded better, but was worse on batteries and skipped if you looked at it funny.

It says walkman right there on the device.

I had a CD player with Walkman branding on it back in the early 2000s

Looks like I'm just old.

Sony used the Discman branding in the mid 90s and went back to Walkman in the late 90s and early 2000s.

For me, Walkman meant tape or cassette, but again, I'm old. Old enough to have been listening to Depeche Mode on tape on my Walkman.

2001 weren't we all using mp3 players?

I know I was. It was really big and could hardly fit anything.

Yes, those rio ones with a hdd in it! 4 gb or something like that. Or you had a cheaper flash one with 128 mb.

[–] livus@kbin.social 1 points 7 months ago

My first mp3 player was a SoulMate omg.

I think by 2001 I probably had something smaller with more storage though.

I have, and have had for almost ten years, a Walkman-branded music player which plays, among other formats, FLAC.
