Compaq IPaq Personal Mini-CD Player PM-1

The PM-1 uses 8-cm CDs--mini-CDs that hold 185MB of content--and is one of the smallest 8-cm-format CD players we've seen. This smartly designed unit features logically oriented buttons along the side, as well as an in-line remote control that includes a two-line LCD for viewing artist and track title information. The PM-1 uses rechargeable AAA batteries and has an 8-minute buffer to eliminate skips and help conserve battery power.
There's no case, and the unit's paint scratches easily.
You need a CD-RW drive to transfer or copy music to the discs you want to play in the PM-1. Five equalizer modes help boost sonic quality. The package includes three blank mini-CD-R disks, Musicmatch Jukebox and Windows Media Player, and neck headphones.
If you want to carry lots of songs in a portable and lightweight package, this player's for you.
