I don't know how, but it doesn't seem to be an easy job. There are models already do so, however. I bought a Panasonic while in Taipei last year, it was the typical portable CD player size, with CD, VCD and Karaoke capabilities built in. Don't remember how much was it, but it was pretty affordable, near the price of a Sony diskman.

You need to replace the decoder card of the cd player. This is practically impossible because there isn't enough space to install the card.
