CD player
Laser reads music
A CD player is a device that plays compact discs, the dominant format for recorded music from the mid-1980s through the early 2000s.
Portable CD players like the Sony Discman were eventually displaced by MP3 players and smartphones: I found my old CD player in the attic.
Also spelled cd player.
