This thing is so recent it could play MP3s... The first Discman was released in 1984. I'm actually really confused why they picked such a recent version, the technology was almost phased out when this thing was released. FFS the original iPod came out a year before this thing...
Probably because they couldn't purchase the other ones at reasonable prices anywhere.
Here is one for $44. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256220081101
Surely a museum can afford that? Right?
But that one doesn't have an anti-skip system
Right and it also can't rip the whole ass CD to a SD Card like a modern CD player.
But it's a museum. It isn't about having the newest shit
Most museums rely on donations. While they likely could afford it there's 0 reason to buy one if a patreon is willing to gift one
My guess is that this is just one of a number of CD players they have, and they want to show how the technology progressed.
