I want to replay some lectures from CD. I want to just hear the
presenter and, if possible, jump to different points in the lecture. It
would need to run from batteries.

So I'm looking for something like a CD Walkman with its own little
speaker.

I definitely don't mean the large all-in-one "beat box" players with CD,
radio, and cassette player with loud stereo speakers and which drink
batteries.

How well represented amongst the many different types of portable music
players currently thronging the shops is such a thing?

Very rare but you could get a bog standard portable player and some tiny 5
quid speakers

Three or four of us will be following this at the same time, which is
why I said I wanted a speaker.

I've never seen one that fits your need. I've seen Discman (or similar
name) that used headphones. Neat-Ideas were recently giving away a CD
player with orders over some level (CD player, plus two small speakers)
but because CDs are mostly for playing music and support stereo, they
might have never made anthing similar to a simple tranny radio with
a single speaker - the CD is pretty much guaranteed to 'need' stereo.

I did see some '99p delivery deal on a website recently when buying a
12 or 24 CD holder which had small speakers built in. Since it was a
similar price to the minimum delivery cost, and made delivery of the
whole order 99p, it was something my sister bought instead of paying
similar for just delivery (but she lives miles away, so no comment on
how good or otherwise the small speakers are, sorry).

speakers.

Thanks for the reply.

If you mean some external powered speakers then I don't want a
seperate unit to add to the CD player as then there are spare
batteries to remember and twice as many units to carry in my case and
all that messing about. Besides I don't need the extra volume which
even a five quid powered speaker would give.

Whenever I have tried unpowered speakers attached to a CD walkman or
MP3 player they are almost completely inaudible. :-(

Maybe such a thing as I want is harder to find than I had hoped.

Maybe I need to settle for a very small "beat box" although the
ability of something like that to jump around the CD is probably
poor.

Not very well it seems, but you may find success if you look for cd radio
alarms that run off batteries.
For example

Argos may have similar

Would a portable DVD player do the job? They are small, play CD's and have
built in speakers. With my one, if you put the screen down, it turns it off
but you can still play CD's so it saves batteries (which are rechargeable).
Available on Ebay from £30.00

This could be as close as I get to what I want.

But £30 on ebay? I can find lots but they are rather more than £30.

Do you have a link or model name?
