Maybe I'm better off... until I try to put it in my pocket. Unlike a portable CD player, my 00's portable MD player is tiny! The footprint is not much larger than the discs themselves.

Regarding music management, I've never seen any portable CD players that have any music management features, unlike MD recorders that have all sorts of music management features. However, that's not really relevant in either case as I manage my digital music library on my computer. With modern software, copying tracks to MD or CD is essentially the same: connect the device to usb and drag'n'drop the tracks.
