In March 1979, at the request of Jing Shenda, the audio department modified the small tape recorder "Pressman" (Pressman) used by reporters into a smaller tape recorder . Under the leadership, in July 1979, the Walkman (Walkman) was launched. Akio Morita positioned the Walkman in the youth market, and emphasized youthful vitality and fashion, and created a headphone culture. In February 1980, he began to do it all over the world. Sales, and in November 1980 began to use the non-standard Japanese English brand "Walkman" globally. Until 1998, "Walkman" had sold more than 250 million units worldwide. After Akio Morita was knighted in October 1992 , the headline in the British media was "Get Up, Sony Walkman Jazz".
Beginning in 1991, Walkman began to launch the MiniDisc system, and continues to be the number one in the world. Since 2000, the MP3 music format has become more and more popular. Low-cost competitors have successively launched flash drives that use cache memory to support MP3 , making MP3 gradually transfer from personal computers to the Walkman market. Walkman adopts a new trademark, symbolizing the Internet generation and launched the online music download service "PlanetMG". However, there are too few music and the " ATRAC3 " format must be used, so the market acceptance has always been low. Therefore, in 2000, Sony launched the Net MD series that supports MP3 and can be connected to a computer for synchronization. After 2001, Apple Computer adopted a high-capacity iPod with a 1.8-inch hard disk and paired with the " iTunes " online music store service, and launched it in the United States and the world. It immediately caused a sensation in the global Walkman market within 2 years. July 2004 Sony launched the "Hi-MD" with a capacity of up to 1GB, but because the launch time was too late, and the Walkman insisted on its own ATRAC3 file format, the market share of the Walkman gradually declined, causing Apple Computer 's iPod digital player to be replaced by the best seller in the world. Lost Walkman status.
Since 2004, in order to regain the status of Walkman in the past, "Sony Connect" online music was launched in the United States. In Japan, "Sony Music Japan" joined other music record companies to invest in the Mora online music website, and launched a cache memory Body , hard disk type "Net Walkman" series. Beginning in the second quarter of 2005, Sony Ericsson, a subsidiary of Sony Ericsson, launched a co-branded music phone called "Walkman", and cooperated with Sony Boardman Music to launch the "PlayNow" service, which successfully integrated Sony Group's electronics and entertainment business resources, and sold well all over the world , and established Sony Ericsson's Walkman joint brand as a leading brand in music phones.
In the fourth quarter of 2007, Sony Corporation announced that the "Net Walkman" series in overseas markets would no longer be synchronized through the " SonicStage " software. Japan's "eyevio" online video website, the new "Net Walkman" series integrates photo and video functions to become a full-range multimedia personal walkman.
On October 22, 2010, Sony Corporation announced that due to the sluggish sales of the Walkman, it has officially decided to stop production (page archive backup , stored in). The last batch of Walkman cassette players in Japan was released in April. After the sales of this batch of products are sold out, the history of the Walkman cassette player will also come to an end.
