@leonieke OMG 😍 it's sooo cool!

[leonieke@squilla.vitaulium.eu]

@_elena It makes me nostalgic for just 1 mix tape created by/for friends ;-)

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@leonieke my dad threw out all my mixtapes years ago while cleaning up the attic 😭

[leonieke@squilla.vitaulium.eu]

@_elena O nooooos, I recently found my last tapes, but these were the most recent ones I purchased/copied, none of the older stuff

[ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu]

@leonieke That's great! I found mine as well: https://walkman.land/sony/wm-af59

Also love the colours on yours.

[leonieke@squilla.vitaulium.eu]

@ainmosni O wow you had the Sony Sport! I was so envious of that one, but with my vacation-job-savings, I could only afford the Phillips ;-)

[ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu]

@leonieke I got my value out of it, I had it until I got my first mp3 player, so well into the late 90s. It helped that it was built to survive a nuclear bomb... :P

[leonieke@squilla.vitaulium.eu]

and I think this is the second/last walkman I owned: all nice and sleek and metal!

@leonieke it's a good looking device. Honestly, I miss having technology that's as honest as walkmans were.

[leonieke@squilla.vitaulium.eu]

@ainmosni Indeed! Imagine: fancy versions had either radios and/or the option to play continously without having to change playing sides for the tape.

[ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu]

@leonieke Yep, and the only tracking it did was to keep the track of the magnetic tape on the head.

[leonieke@squilla.vitaulium.eu]

@ainmosni Exactly!

[leonieke@squilla.vitaulium.eu]

@ainmosni (note to self, do not go on a deep dive on ebay for walkmans)
