minus-squarepsvrh@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up24·8 months agoLooks 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.
minus-squareOoglieguy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·8 months agoSame for me. I was rocking out to Cinderella, Scorpions, and Poison on my Walkman and then it sounded better later on the Discman with no need to flip or rewind for the specific songs.
minus-squareGneissSchist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-28 months agoDepeche Mode’s Some Great Reward was the first cassette of theirs I bought and it lived in my walkman. I have the same understanding as you on the whole walkman/discman thing.
minus-squareBob@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up4·8 months agoI have, and have had for almost ten years, a Walkman-branded music player which plays, among other formats, FLAC.

minus-squarefing3r@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 months agoYes, those rio ones with a hdd in it! 4 gb or something like that. Or you had a cheaper flash one with 128 mb.
minus-squarelivus@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoMy first mp3 player was a SoulMate omg. I think by 2001 I probably had something smaller with more storage though.
