A portable disc player having a casing for containing various disc sizes, the casing comprising:

• a top and bottom shell movably attached to allow the insertion and removal of a disc within a cavity of the casing;
• a data transfer device (“DTD”) attached to the bottom shell for transferring data;
• and
• a mechanism for scaling the overall size of the player through independent movement of two sides of the player and a front side of the player away from and towards a securing platter that engages with the disc, and wherein the two sides connect a back side and the front side of the casing.

A process for containing an optical disc within a casing of a portable disc player or recorder having a case scaling mechanism, the process comprising:

• opening a top portion of the casing to expose a shell cavity;
• securing the disc to a data transfer device (“DTD”) within the shell cavity;
• adjusting the size of the casing to accommodate the relative size of the disc through independent movement of two sides of the casing and a front side of the casing away from and towards a securing platter that engages with the disc, wherein the two sides connect the back side and the front side of the casing;
• and
• closing the top portion to contain a portion of the disc within the shell cavity.
