portable CD player
Handheld disc spinner
A portable CD player is a battery-powered device for playing compact discs through headphones, small enough to carry while walking or exercising.
These devices dominated personal music listening in the 1990s before being displaced by digital music players and smartphones.
Also called a Discman, after Sony's trademark that became generic.
