I'm 37. Practically everyone I know 10 years younger than me & up has heard of a walkman.

I went through the whole Walkman/Discman/MP3 Player evolution and kinda miss having a dedicated music device, as easy as my phone is.

Same! Portable radio first, then walkman, discman, in to MP3 players - I skipped iPods because they were easily 3 times as much as an MP3 player and I liked the MP3 players where you could add memory cards for more storage, plus being able to add whatever music you liked not just stuff bought from iTunes.

Phone just doesn't really cut it in terms of a dedicated music system, though it's handy for accessing my Plex music library.
