Does nobody use portable digital music players like the iPod or Walkman anymore?

I bought one a couple of years ago as a gift, a Sony Walkman, and it never got gifted (a whole other story), so in cleaning things out I found it, brand new in its box.

Originally I bought it for a little over $400 and put it out on local social media for sale at $125. Not a single person was interested, didn't even gat a lowball offer.

I'm thinking I'll end up giving it away... how can something go obsolete so fast? Is it because of smartphones?

I still use my Ipod Shuffle. Its sad you can't buy these anywhere now...

I had an MP3 player before that. Which had 1/4 the storage of the Ipod. You couldn't just add one song without all of them being erased. So you had to load them all again in one go. Thought they were the newest thing out. But a kid said "What the hecks an MP3?"
I do have another MP3 incase the Ipod ever stops working.

@Thevy29 Oddly enough, I sold the Walkman today. Sold it to a guy in his 60s who has a huge collection of music... vinyl through tape, discs, and digital.
