We put the new pocket-size vinyl format to the test—with mixed results
It's a fun new format, but finding a place in the market may be challenging.

@arstechnica Pocket size vinyls... It's almost like they're trying to make these disks more... compact? Maybe it should be named a Compact Disk, or CD for short? And then we just need to find a way to avoid having a huge needle head, so we can also make the disk reader more compact, and... who knows, maybe we'll get to something we can walk with. Isn't that a great idea? We could then name it... Walkman, because we can use it while we walk, man!
