2 points. Lived in a small city. No point in recording radio to tape… You’ll hear the same songs again tomorrow anyway. Also why specifically call out a brand name Sony Walkman? Listened to plenty of tapes on portable tape players. Just never had a Walkman specifically.
Walkman was the only game in town as I remember. Where there generic versions? Think maybe I had a shitty one, but Walkman was the gold standard.
And so were the headphones! First in-ear audio that actually rocked out. Again, not sure there was much of anything else, but Iron Maiden thumped in those things. Now I want another pair.
I would love to find a pair of the earbuds that came with the OG Game Boy. I don’t know if they were the best things ever, or if I wasn’t so much of an audiophile then.
I know it’s capitalized, but I read it as a generalization like Band-Aid, Frisbee, or Chapstick. Most people aren’t referring to only the name brand versions.
Of course, maybe I’m wrong and I missed out on my perfect zero.

There were alternative portable tape players. Maybe not right away but there definitely were.

Could be yeah.
