What was her name Any Forums
Your first portable music player
w-who needs albums when I can shuffle all my music automatically
I used one of those last year, they're great.
My musical journey started by making mixtapes on my mother's old walkman from my CDs.
I remember getting my first discman that wouldn't skip due to movement.
Shit felt so good.
"portable" 8 track player, took 8 D batteries
Hell yea. I remember when they would advertise "non skip", shit was revolutionary.
Really was, I biked all over town listening to Poweslave.
Based Iron Maiden enthusiast
I had this exact guy. There was a certain kind of loveliness to burning CDs and being stuck with the same 18 songs for a while
Up the irons
I had this hideous triangular prism mp3 player I bought with my birthday money for like a hundred bucks. It had a 256 MB capacity, I think, and ran on a single AA battery. I bought my batteries from the shitty dollar store at the mall because, while they didn't last very long at all, they were dirt fucking cheap, especially in comparison to proper, name brand batteries. So I lugged around a bunch of batteries in my school backpack all year, furiously swapping them all the time so I could listen to Oh Comely again. I don't remember her name sadly
This beauty
Half a gig of room was more than enough
Took a single battery to run forever
But got sticky and fell apart after like 10 years
I had a couple cheap GE walkmans before this, but the yellow Sony was fucking swank.
When I worked at a department store ages ago, we sold cheap mp3 players made by Sylvania... the light bulb company. I guess people's phones have more or less completely replaced the niche for extremely cheap, shitty music players.
Curious to know how much new cassettes cost?
Back in the day? $8-$16
not even kidding
I had one just like that when I was in 1st grade. Kids acted like I had an ipod. My uncle loaded that bitch with hair metal because I liked GTA Vice City.
This lmao
I had girls sharing an earbud with me and everything
I was way too cool in 5th grade
Steeply downhill from there though

Unironically pic related, was still using it in 2006, got it with a Mesh prebuilt PC
One of these babies.
I still have mine around somewhere, too.

that was my first MP3, but I had an OG Sony walkman as my first porable devive in the mid 80's, can't remember the model but it was pretty much pic related, I remember it had metal buttons, used to listen to Ladybird and Enid Blyton audio-books in bed with it as a kid
The integrated speakers were very practical
