The WM-4 came out in 1983 and was designed to be the budget version of earlier, more expensive models. It was one of the loudest Walkmans because it used four AA batteries rather than the traditional two.

1. "Every Breath You Take," Police
2. "Billie Jean," Michael Jackson
3. (From "Flashdance"..."What a Feelin," Irene Cara
