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?
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
