A pretty shitty museum really. Discman was only made by Sony.

Discman was a Sony trademarked name only. That in the museum was a portable MP3 compact disc player with remote.

Ain't no way that's a Discman. I have a Sony one from the 90s on my desk, for one. Two, I thought Sony had the trademark on Discman? And three, that's Panasonic and doesn't have Discman anywhere on it.

So unless Discman wasn't trademarked and became synonymous with CD players, I refuse to accept that's a discman!

I had this exact model ! Burned a CD with all the Linkin Park, Sum 41, Blink 182, Rage against the machine, System of a Down, Red hot chili peppers, and more !

Those were simpler times...

I recently found my first mobile phone model in a museum. I know the feeling.

It says MP3 on it. I remember when I was a kid, I wanted a mp3-player because it was the hot shit. So I bought a Panasonic discman that said "MP3" on it. That's when I learned what "mp3-disks" are and how to quickly navigate through 400 songs using one button

Walking down the street, cradling the thing like a baby because the slightest bump would cause it to skip, those were the days xD

Yeah, that’s a low blow. Not a Walkman, not just a portable Cd player, a bloody mp3 cd with a remote on the headphones from 2002. Who are you calling old, eh? Kids these days have no respect

basically all cutting edge tech from my teen years:

Wait until you see the home computer you grew up with, along with a joystick and selection of game tapes/discs including some of your favourites, in a glass case in a museum of technology; then you are free to crumble to dust.

It's not even the oldest one. I had to wait like three Christmases until I could play mp3s on a disk without converting them first.

Always love antishock

When can I be encased in a glass box and finally get some peace?

WTF is this nonsense, Discman was a specific Sony product ala Walkman.

c. 2002

That is a low blow, museum

This early 21st century edition includes Anti-Skip Protection, some archaeological research indicates that it functioned the same way ESP or Electronic Skip Protection, however no conclusive records have ever been recovered…

When I was a little kid my dad's old retired police cruiser still had an 8-track player in it. Y'all ain't that old. I was there for that thing's entire lifecycle, then portable mp3 players' too. Streaming on mobile will probably last a while though.

Damn kid you had the high tech newfangled round clear gel looking shit.

I had the original 6AA battery disc man where you can either listen to music for a couple of drives without skipping, or a week if you didn't turn the anti skip buffer on.

You've never been older in your life than you are now

What's the long black cable coming off it?

Then I guess you must have overlooked the first cell phone models you used (or even later ones) in that same museum...

It was never called a Tapeman, so why disc?

It should be a runman or a walkwoman.

Feels like this would fit in as some background piece in Doctor Who.
