      Perhaps a problem in museum, but at least where I live any highly portable CD player like this gets called “discman” same as with portable cassette players being called “walkman”.

        Yeah what is that called when a product name becomes a common noun? Nintendo fought this so that “Nintendo” didn’t become synonymous with “videogame console.”
