spent too long price hunting on ebay for the players and still probably ended up overpaying. but the one on the right is a WM-EX1 and i think it looks rad and it actually sounds quite clear and rich with a good pair of headphones!! i have been slowly gathering tapes, so far Pet Shop Boys from a local record/thrift store and Jeff Rosenstock from the tour merch counter
h/t to fevermilk for recommending spirit goth's cassette club, which kicked off this fixation, and theclack for putting me onto techmoan's used Walkman buying guide (linked to post)!!!

one of my friends gave me one of these bad boys for my birthday and it is perhaps one of the best gifts I’ve received. they knew my struggle with wanting to listen to music on my morning walks while resisting the urge to use my phone first thing. they burned a few of my playlists and theirs onto tapes and it feels so much more nostalgic, personal, and conversational. listening to a tape all the way through without skipping is a lost treasure trove for mindfulness imo. pretty affordable and easy to rig burning cassettes or buying from the thrift :)

Just recently bought and set up my Walkman (Sony walkman NWZ-S638F to be exact) and it's just magical. I wasn't around in the era that people regularly used mp3 players but I have come in contact with an iPod from time to time. I bought one because well I'm an avid cd collector with a player that doesn't work, which isn't ideal. Also I hate my phone, I hate TikTok and how much time i spend on it, and how little time I actually spend listening to my music without a distraction. Plus it's nice to listen to music I actually own rather than from a subscription. Still it hasn't stopped my doom scrolling on days off work, obvs. But i'm aiming to start working on myself fully before I begin my 2nd year of university!!!! Anyways here she is:

Trying to spend less time on my phone and also expand my physical media collection and that has brought us here. Promotes active listening in a really nice way and reminds me of being a kid
