Introduction to Sony Personal CD Players
Sony's personal CD players, known as Discman and later Walkman series, are portable devices for on-the-go music playback, supporting standard CDs, CD-R/RW, and MP3 in later models with anti-skip technology like G-PROTECTION.
Key features include compact designs, rechargeable batteries, remote controls, FM radio in some, and ATRAC compression for extended playback time.
