    generally people refer to any such portable CD player as “discman”. At least where I live.

    Yeah, and there’s people that call them Kleenex, Velcro, and iPads. That doesn’t make them right.

    There’s no confusion - Discman is the model of Sony’s portable CD players. People using the term incorrectly is simply that.
