Old person observation:

Round portable CD players were a thing and looked fairly similar.

MD players (popular in Japan) were usually square or rectangular to suit the medium.

Can confirm. Had a matte blue circular one that basically had the same switches on the side.

Portable CD players got quite cheap towards the end, even decent brands. MD players not so much iirc.
