I'd expect to see Urban Outfitters retromod a walkman case with a
MP3 player. They already did with a boom box.
I did this myself, when iPODs became popular... used my original walkman i bought from sears; and i THOUGHT i had the coolest loooking iPOD around.

The Diamond Rio was the first MP3 player I remember seeing on the market, and they had one that I thought looked a bit like a walkman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_500

That sounds interesting, but why not go a couple of other paths?
- MP3 player that looks like a MiniDisc Player
- MP3 player that looks like an 8-track player
:D

Anyone here remember when certain cars had record players?
I think I was barely 5 yrs old (circa 1963), and an uncle of mine had a convertible with a record player. I think it only played 45s.

My cousins had a portable record player that played full sized LP's. It was close to the size of a full sized cassette recorder (6 inch by 10 inch) and you had to place it on a level surface because the turntable was the width f the player and the record would hang over on 3 sides. The side that didn't hang over was where the arm was mounted. It ran on either 4 or 6 D cell batteries.

Ah.. you're a young one then. LOL
I've seen a couple of YT videos of "young" people installing LP players
in their cars and thinking that is so unique and cool.
But if you keep looking, you will find plenty of references to record players in some of the cars in the 60's.
There is a vintage car show/gathering in my town once a week during the summer. I never thought of dropping by to see if anyone there still
had a working record player. But maybe now I will.

I'll have a look into it. It would be interesting to see how they engineered it to stop skipping.

us all one. I used that for a long time, it was great, even if it only held like 8 songs. I recently sold it on ebay becuase why did I still have that thing?
