The Walkman (and knockoffs) were a little before my time sadly, but I have very warm memories of the MP3 players I used to play my burnt discs of ten songs on. More rudimentary in many regards really. And they rarely lasted for more than a month or two at a time. But I have very warm memories associated with them hahaha.

I recently got a record player that has a speed not only for 33s and 45s, but for 78s, so I got a lot off of ebay of a bunch of old shellac records from waay before my time that are a ton of fun to listen to. It really is fascinating how much music technology has changed. Thanks for sending this one in, Philip!
