Overview
Portable Jukeboxes is a Datapack for Minecraft 1.20 and 1.21. It adds Walkmans, which function
as personal portable jukeboxes. It also introduces new Music Discs, which contain
music from the various albums from the Minecraft Soundtrack. When you insert a
Music Disc into a Walkman, you will be the only one who can hear the music.
The new discs, of which there are three types, can be obtained when certain mobs
kill other mobs, similar to how you can obtain most other music discs. The difference is that
you need a different strategy for each type of Music Discs because the mob
combinations vary. The two exceptions are 'Dog' and 'Eleven' by C418. 'Dog' can be
obtained when a skeleton kills a creeper, and 'Eleven' is the fixed '11' disc.
To insert a music disc into a Walkman, you need to hold the Walkman
in your offhand and the disc in your main hand. The Walkman will get a new texture
and name. To remove the disc from the Walkman, you simply drop it on the ground.
Walkman
A Walkman is the device you can use as portable jukeboxes. You can insert the 22 new discs and the 19 existing discs to play music in here. To put the Music Discs into the Walkman, hold the Walkman in your offhand and the disc in your main hand. If you want to stop the music or remove the item, simply drop the Walkman on the ground. This is how you craft a Walkman:
New discs
The new discs are obtained in a similar way to Music Discs: when one mob kills another mob. There are three types of discs: for Overworld music, Underwater music, and Nether music. There's also two other discs that don't have a category. 'Dog' can be obtained if a skeleton kills a creeper, and 'Eleven' can be crafted from the broken '11' disc. Here's how you obtain Overworld Music Discs:

1.21
Cassette Tapes replaced by Music Discs
6 new discs added: Mice on Venus (C418), Taswell (C418), Labyrinthine (Lena Raine), Featherfall (Kumi Tanioka), Dog (C418) and Eleven (C418)
All discs can now be played in a jukebox
The 1.21 music discs now work with the Walkman
Trivia
The original idea was that Walkmans were retextured Bundles, but because of a lack of information about how to retexture bundles (Subreddits were on strike), this was changed to retexturing wooden swords
In the 1.20 version, the new music discs were Cassette Tapes. Why? Because it wasn't possible to put custom music on items. The datapack had to be rewritten almost entirely because this was added in 1.21 and it makes sense to use that feature
