Ha ha ha I didn't have a walkman, I had an Mp3 player that could fit 15 songs at a time and they were all random stuff I'd downloaded off Napster.

I remember my 64 MB mp3 player, i think it even had an expansion slot that you could put an SD card into.

I remember the day I learned about compression and making the same songs lower bit rate, I went from 30 songs to 100+... I was so excited, turned on the player and had to turn the volume all the way up to hear anything, and what I heard could have been music, or it could've been gravel being laid onto pavement.
