What’s really funny is anti-skip wasn’t exactly as it said, it was a read ahead memory buffer that would store around 30 seconds of the song so the laser can have enough time to re-track when it loses its position.
I remember when discman came out the worst part it didn’t fit in your pocket so I had to put mine in my waist band and to listen to anything other then one CD I had to choose from over 200 cds I had and carry them loosely in my back pocket I didn’t carry a bag very often only to school so needless to say its the last thing i want to remember or go see in a museum
Technology timeline is heaps shorter/quicker.
For instance, I am using an iPhone 5 (no doubt, a museum piece now) for this. Thus, saving myself 10 lots of wasting money to keep up with The Jones’s
I soon will not be able to use it as a phone soon because of 3G/early 4G shutting down and that is not the phones fault is it now.
Still have one 📀
Surely that can’t be a true discman as it’s made by Panasonic. I thought that “walkman” and “discman” were Sony trademarks?

I still have mine
I have one. I use it.
Me on reading this
I have 2 Discmans and one still has the portable booster speaker accessory that came with it.
Someday our scientists will get that anti skip technology to work.
Want to really feel old? When you google anything “vintage” and it lists items from the 1980s.
That’s not OG. It has mp3 playback capabilities.
I still have one. And it works. 🤣
Back in my day, the Walkmans had to be hand cranked. You youngn’s just have no idea.

I remember when I bought my son one of those so he could use it in his car! Lol
Sub par, its not the Rosetta Stone
I think I saw that display at the Smithsonian “… Hall of American Culture” in Washington DC.
Never had one
And not even a very old disc man. Looks like they just found a random one in a closet somewhere and put it on display. You could get the Sony sport disc man by the mid 90s. And there were battery operated portable CD players by the late 80s. Bulky but disc man form factor. Kind of a 💩 museum.imho. By 2002 there were portable mini disc players which were much better for sports.
