Listen to your mini-CD's music with a home stereo system.

Mini compact discs, or mini-CDs, are just smaller versions of a full-sized CD. The disc only holds about a third of the data as a standard CD, giving you just enough room for a hand full of songs. As long as you have a CD player with a standard CD tray or deck, you are going to have no problems playing the mini-CD in your stereo system. However, CD slots found on compact CD players and car stereos are not capable of playing mini-CDs.
