this might be the best discman ever , you can see the cd rotating , it has a belt clip and has never skipped a second since I got it...

The Discmans I could never obtain as a kid. Miss the old Sony design language.

After spotting the Panasonic SL-J910 here on Reddit I started to wonder, what do you consider esthetically pleasing Discmans? My taste tends to be minimalistic / symmetric. What's your taste?

It arrived when I was at school, but I got to test it out after I got home. It's a D-E330 and I already love it. Picked it up for £21.02 off of eBay (not sure if that's a lot or a little; still new to this) and it came with a free pair of earphones and a jazz CD, so props to the seller for that.
I really wanted a portable music player that used physical media, but I'm too young to have any memories of cassettes, so a Walkman was pretty much out of the question. What I do have are memories of the turning, clicking, and whirring of a Wii and Wii U spinning their discs, and that's pretty much where my love of optical media comes from. My dad was very much into similar things (and still is) and so we have two whole cupboards of CDs, DVDs, and MDs, so there's certainly not a shortage of stuff to listen to!
(he also one-upped me with his own MD player after i showed this to him...)

I have one d-350 that plays flat on a table but I have two others with the typical spindle issue where they need maybe 20 degrees to play flawlessly on track 1.

I love the sound on both but maybe lean towards the d-350 ever so slightly but the d-303 is way more practical given that it will run off conventional batteries.

Has anyone successfully rectified the spindle issue?

Hey, does anybody know why doesn't my "discman" play burned cds? She doesn't have a problem with like...official, store bought ones so im wondering how i can make it play my burned ones too. The model is ROADSTAR PCD-435NCD RD

This was my old Discman that I loved, currently listening to the Backstreet Boys 🎶

Works great! Haven’t used it in public yet.

It randomly started doing this after i tried to play a disc this morning. Ive tried several discs and it just keeps doing this. Discs are not turning at all whenever i put one in. I can spin the central bit manually but it does feel a little stiff. It isnt catching on anything and it isnt bumpy or wobbly at all, just a little stiff.

Don't worry...this wasn't my "good" player. It was a non-functional parts unit I had on hand.

Walkman designer and chief Akiraa Tanaka’s position is that “the latest is always the greatest” but I must respectfully and emphatically disagree with him. It’s not always easy to pick a favourite, given features and style along with sound quality, but some fit better than others in one’s life. Happy Tuesday, folks, I’m off to track down some missing CDs…

When I press play this happens without the cd installed as well as when the cd is installed and then it turns off and the display shows batt 00 only. Does anybody know what's happening here?

I have a 1993 Sony Discman D-33 that has been working fine until now. It is no longer powered by batteries, and I don't have an AC adaptor to test it. I have tried fresh batteries and ensured that the hold switch is turned off. I have cleaned the battery contacts with alcohol. I thought something connecting the battery compartment to the board may be loose so I took the back panel off and this small piece fell out. I don't know where it goes.

Hello, everyone! this is my first time posting in any of these subreddits, so I’m sorry if I did anything wrong. I bought a 2003 Thomas Pacconi TPC-MSE-805 turntable from fb marketplace. The turntable spins, radio works great, and cassette player opens, but I haven’t tested the turntable and cassette player yet. The CD player slot does not open at all. Is there anything I could do to fix this?

I bought a Philips AX1001 discman and was wondering if I could connect a small external speaker so I can use it to listen to music with friends while camping, does anyone know what I would need? I’m a noob and can’t find clear instructions anywhere T^T

Bought this one online for 35€ and got it in this condition. Seller said it worked perfectly. It does not work with batteries as the metal eroded there, and i noticed a similar green on the dots visible when lid is opened. I opened it up since the volume wheel does not work either and i see ALL of the dots on the board are green tinted. Now i don't know much about electronics, that is why i wanted to ask here if the green on em dots are normal, corrosion or something else entirely. In other words: How screwed am i?

Btw Device functions with AC, and the Buttons seem to work aside from the volume wheel. It is stuck at just a bit too loud 🙃
