... equipment needed to transfer data from your PC to your MP3 player. Also, MP3 players tend not to include a radio function. *CD player* You cannot record onto CDs unless you have a CD-rewriter, an expensive piece of kit, and again portable CD players tend not to have a radio function. *Mini-Disc player* Mini-Discs cannot be bought with music on them; instead you must record from the radio or a CD, which can be inconvenient.

In today’s modern world, with new technology developing all the time, we now have MP3 players, Mini-Disc players and CD players, so surely now cassettes are a thing of the past, and all walkmans are now insignificant and left with a life that consists of sitting in a draw gathering dust.
