The Creative Labs TravelSound II

http://us.creative.com/products/prod...8&nav=features

is small & stereo and works okay for $50, takes 4 AA's, claims 25
hours.

I don't know what to use it for exactly; I was thinking playing a
RadioYourWay back might
be a nice application. They suggest MP3 players etc.

You could brighten your 7600G with it, I guess, though the number of
rechargeable AA's
you'd be using at once is starting to grow to almost unmanageable
proportions.

It takes a 5v wall wart but one is not supplied.

It's about the size of a YB400 as it sits unfolded on the table.

It has a switch that seems to be meant to be an AGC, if I understand
the cryptic instruction
sheet, that appears to have no affect whatsoever. Perhaps it
actually has no effect, since
they don't seem to advertise it.

They appear very similar. I use mine with a 7600G, and it's quite good
(certainly better than the internal speaker) although I find the
"crackling" highs from interference to be quite sharp. My other
complaint is that the stand is "tippy" and has an inclination to fall
forward if one isn't careful. Mine takes 4 AAA's-- rechargeables last
a substantial amount of time--in excess of 20 hours certainly. It is
also the best small (well, tiny really) portable speaker I've heard
for reproducing music from an mp3 player. Mine has volume buttons
and something that purports to be a "surround" switch that I don't use
very much.
