Then I remember getting one of the early discman(men?) in 1994, skip tastic experience is all I can say and quite a lumbering beast of a device, bigger than my old walkman was lol.

The fact that this device is now so ancient a 13-year-old has never even seen one, shocks me incredibly, although I guess it shouldn't. Hey, when I was a kid I listened to my parents vast record collection so I knew how records worked even though cassettes had beaten them out at that point, no excuse on the tapes kids!

Er, Walkman, Wonder Woman ? Whats the connection ?

@xValentine
By Walkmen, I meant the plural of Walkman. I had 2 of these. Oh, the shame.

Is it REALLY clearly evident? The vast majority of MP3s have hissy overtones when high frequencies (eg. cymbals) are reproduced, which is why I don't purchase tunes online unless I can aquire uncompressed or lossless forms.

Love the Porcupine Tree, btw. Best current band out of GB period!]]>Jun 29th 2009 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/29/13-year-old-trades-ipod-for-walkman-reports-on-mysterious-ancie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/29/13-year-old-trades-ipod-for-walkman-reports-on-mysterious-ancie/

Portable cassette players always sounded like crap, and you could never get away from the grind of the mechanism either. Considering the cassettes in it were probably pushing 20 years old and in a bad state of magnetic decay, plus the playback head was last cleaned... when? Probably never. In that state, that Walkman probably made the worst 92kpbs non-VBR sound like a audiophile bliss.]]>Jun 29th 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/29/13-year-old-trades-ipod-for-walkman-reports-on-mysterious-ancie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/29/13-year-old-trades-ipod-for-walkman-reports-on-mysterious-ancie/
