<p>A portable digital audio device digitally generates audio using a speaker (36) and a digital audio circuit (66) having associated memory for electronically storing audio data. The digital audio circuit causes the speaker to generate audio corresponding to the electronically stored audio data. A housing of the device simulates, in miniature, the appearance of a compact disk (CD) jewel box (10) or other audio device or component, etc. The audio device is sized to be held in the palm of a hand. The device is provided with indicia related to the stored digital audio data. For example, the indicia are disposed on a sheet (15) visible through the housing. The housing may be openable, and the sheet removable, and the memory may be removable, so that the device may be provided with different sheets and memories, with each sheet having indicia related to a particular memory coupled to the device.</p> |
