==Derivatives== ===Disc changers=== '''Disc changers''' are similar devices for personal use. [[Record changers]] on turntables typically lacked any selection mechanism, instead playing an entire stack of up to a dozen records in order. CD changers identical in size to standard players or inside a single-DIN [[automotive head unit|car stereo]] hold several discs; slightly larger changers that fit on a shelf or in a car’s trunk attached to its [[vehicle audio]] system controlled from the dashboard, hold up to hundreds of discs; these can be arbitrarily autoplayed, removed, or inserted by the user. If under [[software]] control, especially for [[computer file]] storage, these are often called [[optical jukebox]]es. ===Portable music players=== [[File:Piqsels.com-id-zyxzh.jpg|thumb|[[iRiver H300 series|iRiver H300]], a type of player that was described as a “jukebox”]] The term “jukebox” was used to describe high-capacity, [[hard disk]] mobile [[digital audio player]]s due to their amount of digital space allowing someone’s entire personal music library to be stored and played anywhere.<ref name="guar">{{Cite web | url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2003/nov/01/netmusic.internet | title=The iPod wars | website=[[TheGuardian.com]] | date=November 2003 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/19/technology/news-watch-portable-audio-music-lasts-longer-on-a-hybrid-player.html | title=NEWS WATCH: PORTABLE AUDIO; Music Lasts Longer on a Hybrid Player | newspaper=The New York Times | date=19 June 2003 | last1=Biersdorfer | first1=J. d. }}</ref> The term was popularized following the introduction of the [[Creative NOMAD|Creative NOMAD Jukebox]] in 2000, which could store the [[MP3]] compressed equivalent of 150 CDs of music on its six gigabyte hard drive.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-sep-14-fi-20761-story.html | title=New Nomad Jukebox Digital Music Player Really Turns up the Volume | website=[[Los Angeles Times]] | date=14 September 2000 }}</ref> In later years, the [[iPod Classic|“classic” iPod]] would become the most iconic product in this category.<ref name="guar"/> ===Digital jukebox and apps=== While the number of vinyl-based jukeboxes declined, digital jukeboxes, also called the “social jukebox”, have been introduced in bars and clubs.<ref>{{cite web|last1=France|first1=Jasmine|title=Create jukebox playlists before hitting the town|url=http://www.cnet.com/news/create-jukebox-playlists-before-hitting-the-town/|website=cnet|access-date=3 August 2016}}</ref>
