All sarcasm aside, if you do have a need to add field playback
capability to a minidisc or flash memory recorder, you might consider
the following new product. It combines a protective nylon pouch from
Eagle Creek with the Si-5 "generation 2" battery powered speakers:

This setup provides 2 watts per channel (enough for bird song
playback unless you're calling in an owl from the next county). List
price is a breathtaking $150.
If you can fabricate your own case, you might consider one of the
portable speakers from Sony:

eakers/srs-t55.shtml
Creative has a new portable speaker called the TravelSound that might
meet your needs:

Nature recordists who prefer a home-brew approach might wire a pair
of amplified computer speakers to a rechargeable RC battery pack.
