Nice!

Aiwa... Now that's a name I haven't heard of in a long time.

This is one of the many Walkmans I went through.

Portable CD players (too bulky/sensitive) and even Mini-disc (atrac! ugh) never filled the gap, try as I might.

Unrealistically I hoped DAT would be the next best thing.

Memories!

I had dreadful cassette players growing up, though I recently (in the last few years) picked up a new old stock HS-PC202MIII and it sounds fabulous.

I buy a lot of digital music off of bandcamp and where possible I buy a cassette (inclusive of a digital copy), just because of the different experience when listening with that format.
