Unfortunately, my old Discman is long gone. I can be very hard on my stuff.
My dad used to call me a 'walking warranty claim'. ;)

Though I do have a similar bedside arrangement. My Pi4 carries my entire mp3
collection (close to 100 GB!), and is connected to both my bedroom TV, and my
portable BT speakers. I have this little remote control/keyboard/air mouse
that I use to control Kodi (and PiOS). 

Ever since I got my digital copies, I almost never use the actual CDs anymore.
You can't scratch a mp3!
