It's like your walkman, but spinny and shiny instead of twisty and tapey.

It's like a smaller, slightly more convenient walkman

I would argue a Diskman was decidedly LESS convenient than a Walkman—sure it had neat “skip” functions but god—optical disks are probably one of the worst media formats to have ever been created. (Maybe—just maybe—from a functional standpoint MiniDisk was okay, at best)
