Having had a mono radio cassette player in my bedroom in 1976, running off D-cells, that was not my experience.
The biggest drain was the volume, not the cassette player. You noticed it getting slower and slower, but the drain came from playing it loud.
My Sony Walkman a few years later ran forever on its batteries.

Admittedly I never had a walkman. Maybe you were more privileged than I was, because I remember batteries as very expensive. But a walkman was way way later than the 70's.,
