Creative Labs TravelSound MP3 (1-Piece Portable Speaker with 32 MB Memory)

As an MP3 music player (compatible with 32 to 320 kbps files), the TravelSound MP3 offers 32 MB built-in memory that lets you store and play up to an hour of your favorite music. It also offers a SmartMedia reader compatible with cards offering up to 128 MB, providing an additional 4 hours of music. You can also use the unit as a portable storage device to transport audio and data files.

The 2 built-in titanium drivers are firm and lightweight for optimal clarity and accuracy. The unit's tiny digital amplifier requires only a third the power of conventional linear amplifiers, resulting in great sound and extended battery life.

Conventional linear amplifiers are normally less efficient and require more power to deliver the audio output. This extra power is generated as heat, requiring heat sinks to dissipate it. And this means larger speakers. The TravelSound's efficient digital amplifier requires less power to produce a given audio output. This means less heat and therefore a smaller enclosure and longer battery life.

You'll enjoy up to 12 hours of listening to your favorite MP3 music on 4 alkaline batteries (supplied) or up to 20 hours playback using direct line-in amplification. At the press of a button, a wide effect expands the perceived soundstage produced by the 6-inch wide device.

Use the built-in microphone as your convenient recorder for interviews, lectures, or personal notes, with up to 2 hours of recording on one set of batteries.

It's a snap to transfer digital music and other files between your PC and the TravelSound MP3. Hook it up via USB 1.1 and the TravelSound shows up as an additional drive on your desktop to which you can conveniently move (and extract) files at up to 12 Mbps.

Store and protect your TravelSound MP3 with the included carrying case, and power it using the supplied batteries or an optional universal power adapter (sold separately).
