How to play Spotify on Sony Walkman

Long before CDs, MP3s, and streaming music, the Sony Walkman paved the way for portable personal music. Over 200 million Sony Walkman cassette players were sold before Sony retired the classic cassette tape Walkman line in 2010. The original Walkman, released in 1979, was a portable cassette player that allowed people to listen to music of their choice on the move. Of course, the Walkman brand is still very much alive and kicking, with the odd portable CD player and, more prolifically, digital MP3 and hi-res variants like the Sony NW-ZX300 Walkman. 40 years on, we're still listening to Sony Walkmans – just in smaller, slimmer and, admittedly, much more convenient forms. It even released Android-supported models that allows you to stream music from Spotify, Pandora, YouTube music, Tidal, or Apple Music. In this article, we will focus on how to listen to Spotify music on Sony Walkman .
