Will the F-4 have a walkman?

Will the F-4 have  a walkman or will I have to load up my classic rock and metal via an external player?

Like to imagine we'll get another music player.

In the meantime you can use an internal player if you like.

An 8-track would be just the thing, Walkman appeared in 1979, which is OK for the Gulf War Phantom, but not for Vietnam-era ones.

I was trying to find this. 

[Heinlein]

ahh 8 track. I remember my grandparents had one of those and I used to find it so cool. That needs to be a thing with this module

Would be cool though 8-track players are a little bit bigger than a Walkman.

The Apollo boys had the Sony TC-50 playing cassettes in 1968 but I imagine they were out of the price range of your average fighter jock, about $150 at the time.

Translated to 2022 dollars, that would cost you approximately $1,275

Yup, par the course for a business-oriented dictation machine. In fact, they were sent up there in the first place to record spoken mission logs. Music playing was a side benefit.

Fun fact, dictaphones were the original use case for the compact cassette itself. It didn't take long to be adapted up for music, but it was first designed to record speech. This is why it was so easy to record things on (which the music companies hated, because people routinely copied them).
