I thought I was the only one who kept their old walkman. I also use mine for AM radio. I love to go walking and listen to Rush, or Mark Levin, or Dennis Miller.
Makes the time pass and you burn a lot of calories.
i have a black walkman i use when i bike. radio and cassette works and i have a bunch of new age, soundtrack, and classical tapes in the basement, as well as some books on tap. they still play. also have a portable cd player i got from goodwill for $5. i may start using that to listen to books on cd while i stationary bike.
