Portable CD players were first introduced in the 1980s, but weren't predominant until the 1990s when anti-skip players were sold. At first, most people thought of personal CD players to be no more portable than a [[cassette player]]. Also, since it had no anti-skip feature, they couldn't be used in a portable manner. But in the early 1990s, companies introduced shock absorption to minimize the skipping, which while making them useless for heavy activities, allowed them to be portable. After that refinement, most people used CD players rather than cassette players. Then in 1997, [[Electronic Skip Protection]] was used on portable CD players to make it possible for heavy activity use. |

Some CD players also have anti-shake protection, [[MP3]] capabilities and [[CD-R]]/[[CD-RW]] capabilities. |

== Competition == |
|||
Portable CD players have been predominant for years, and have boosted many electronic company's success, namely [[Sony]]'s. But since [[digital audio player]]s were introduced, CD player's popularity decreased. CD players are still being made, however, but now many have [[MP3]], [[Windows Media Audio|WMA]], and [[CD-R]] capabilities to keep sales up. Thinness is also a big factor, getting thinner and smaller with each revision. As adding more seconds of anti-skip memory is expensive, MP3 players are a preferred choice for environments where physical shock persists (e.g. off-road, jogging, etc.). |
