Abstract
A portable music and/or video disc player which has a body housing a playing mechanism. The playing mechanism includes a spinning capstan for supporting and rotating a disc and a laser head for reading the disc. The body has a lid pivotably connected to a side of the body for movement between a closed position lying flat against the body and an open position revealing the capstan. The lid has a transparent area and flanges with ribs defining a volume for holding a sheet-like insert, such as a leaflet including lyrics which comes with a disc. The insert is viewable through the transparent area.
