One totally genius design feature of the Walkman was the fact that it had two headphone jacks. Together with music ripping and mix tapes, this was the beginning of music sharing, and eventually the downfall of the monolithic music industries. Truly a disruptive innovation.
- aidenn0 6y agoMy dad was sharing music on 10 inch tape reels long before the walkman, and the walkman itself was far from the first cassette player.
- Daub 6y agoTrue.. it was not the first. But it was I believe the first portable one that was capable of playing an entire cassette tape from beginning to end. It was the new generation rare earth magnets that enabled this.
