A Sony Discman from 2001—now preserved in a museum.
By 2001, Sony Discman stood as one of the most iconic portable music devices of the CD era. Introduced in 1984 with the D-50, it let listeners take compact discs anywhere, signaling a major departure from cassette players like the Walkman.
Despite dominating the late ’80s and ’90s, portable CD players were quickly eclipsed in the early 2000s by MP3 players and digital music sharing. Today, early Discman models are displayed in museums as artifacts of late-20th-century tech and a milestone in the shift from analog to digital music.
