MUSE Portable CD/MP3 Player with Anti-Shock for Rediscovering Albums

Rediscover the ritual of playing a physical CD disc you love and treasure.

The MUSE Portable CD/MP3 Player | M-900 DM gives your CD collection a place in everyday listening. Whether you are revisiting favourite albums, exploring inherited discs or playing your own MP3 compilations, it offers a straightforward “cool” way to enjoy physical media without a smartphone or internet connection. Insert a compatible disc, connect the included earphones and choose what to play. Programmable playback lets you arrange selected tracks, while random, intro scan and repeat modes offer different ways to explore your collection. Two AA batteries provide portable power, and external USB power operation is available with a suitable adapter purchased separately.

Anti-shock protection for portable listening
The player features a 40-second anti-shock buffer for audio CDs and a 100-second buffer for MP3 discs. These help reduce interruptions caused by bumps and vibrations while the player is in use and you on the move. Anti-shock protection does not guarantee uninterrupted playback under all conditions. Sustained shocks can still cause the sound to pause, and the MP3 buffer duration depends on the files’ bitrate and sampling frequency.

Play albums and MP3 compilations
Alongside standard audio CDs, the M-900 DM plays compatible CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio tracks or MP3 files. This makes it useful for both shop-bought albums and compilations you have recorded yourself. You can programme up to 20 tracks from an audio CD or 99 tracks from an MP3 disc, arranging a listening sequence from the disc currently loaded.

Earphones are included
A pair of wired earphones are supplied, so you do not need to buy a separate pair to begin listening. For an upgrade on headphones look at the MUSE M-275 CTV wired headphones. Note this CD player does not have or support BT.

Choose how you listen
Play an album in its original order, select random playback or use intro scan to preview tracks. Repeat modes let you replay one track or the whole disc, with directory repeat also available for MP3 discs. The LCD display shows the current track and elapsed playback time, making it easy to follow your progress through an album or recording.

Portable power and automatic switch-off
The M-900 DM runs on two AA batteries, which should be purchased separately. It also supports external power operation using a suitable Micro USB cable and power supply adapter. The player automatically switches off after approximately 30 seconds of inactivity in stop mode to help conserve battery power. This is an automatic idle shut-off, rather than a sleep timer for stopping music during playback.

Compact enough to take along
With a net weight of only 181g and dimensions of 148mm wide × 134mm deep × 27mm high, the player is compact enough to carry in a bag for a trip or commute.

Make time for your collection
Selecting an album, opening its case and pressing play can be part of the enjoyment of listening. The M-900 DM brings that nostalgic experience back into everyday use, giving you a simple way to revisit music and spoken-word recordings on disc. With CD and MP3-disc playback, programmable tracks, anti-shock protection and included earphones, the MUSE M-900 DM helps you enjoy the collection you already own.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Does this player need batteries, or can it use external power?
A: It runs on two AA batteries or has the option of a Micro USB port to power it up. Neither batteries or USB cable/charger are included.

Q: What does anti-shock protection do?
A: It buffers audio to help reduce playback interruptions caused by movement. The specified protection is 40 seconds for audio CDs and 100 seconds for MP3 discs. Sustained shocks can still interrupt playback, and MP3 buffering time depends on the files’ bitrate and sampling frequency.

Q: Will this play CDs I have burned at home?
A: It supports compatible CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio tracks or MP3 files. Discs should be correctly recorded and finalised. An improperly recorded or finalised disc can produce an error message.

Q: Are earphones included?
A: Yes, a pair of wired earphones are included.

Q: How long do the batteries last?
A: Up to 8 hours play time at 75% volume, however the battery life varies dramatically within different battery brands and operating conditions. The player helps conserve power by switching off after approximately 30 seconds of inactivity in stop mode.

Q: Does it retain my programmed playlist after automatic switch-off?
A: The M-900 DM programme and playback-mode settings are retained after automatic switch-off in stop mode. The 30-second figure describes the delay before automatic switch-off, not a limit on how long settings are retained.

Q: Can I repeat a folder on an MP3 disc?
A: Yes. Directory repeat is available for MP3 discs, alongside repeat-one, repeat-all, random and intro-scan playback modes.
