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
