How about taking a small Alexa smart device with you? Has a screen, quite cheap, can be used as a bluetooth speaker and media device, and can be used for other things when on holiday, assuming there is some Wifi there?

Any TV with a DVD can probably play CDs.
But if you want autonomy get a cheap discman and a 3.5mm jack-to-jack cable and then you can plug it in the TV/sound system anywhere that has one, and/or take a wireless speaker.

In any case, it's a bit of a lump, so I'd rather not lug it on holiday.

I'll use the TV/DVD, as that'll probably have a better sound than anything portable I can take with me.

Wow. I ripped my CDs to MP3s years ago. I've got most of them on a memory stick in my car. DVD players can play CDs.

CD player
We've booked a holiday early next year, and are renting a place. I want to take a couple of CDs but there isn't a CD player. It does have a TV with a DVD player. Can CDs be played through that?
When we went away a few years ago, we bought a cheap CD boombox but it was so tinny (definitely no boom!) that we ended up leaving it behind rather than carting it home.
Is there a better alternative? Something light and compact which produces a decent sound? Would it have to have a CD player? Maybe a device with memory that I could copy the CDs on to or something which takes a memory stick?
