How come it's called Walkman when it doesn't play cassettes?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Walkman brand has been attached to lots of over devices by Sony over the years, it just means portable music player, not specifically tape.

Thanks for the explanation, it was just a joke.

They made Walkman CD and MP3 players before this, it's their branch of portable music players.
