by Alex Cosper (12/27/2012) On March 8, 1979 the compact disc was introduced by Philips at a press conference in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Sony and Philips collaborated on the project. CDs began to get commercially released in 1982 and outsold vinyl by the end of the eighties. In July 1979 Sony released its Walkman portable cassette player, which became very popular for joggers, hikers and the mainstream.
