Morphology

DMP = D + M + P

DMP is an initialism whose letters stand for multiple words (e.g., Digital Media Player); the letters themselves do not transparently convey meaning to learners.

Etymology

DMP here stands for Digital, Media, Player; 'digital' means electronic and 'media' means audio or video, while a 'player' is something that plays them, so a DMP is a device or app that plays your music and movies.
