2-XL

**2-XL** (2-XL Robot, 2XL Robot, 2-XL Toy) is an educational toy robot that was marketed from 1978–1981 by the Mego Corporation. The 8-track cartridge tapes included music from Emil Ascher, Inc. (Amphonic Music, Bruton Music, KPM Music, Musique Pour L'Image, Parry Music, Standard Music Library, Studio G, Ultra Music Services) and Capitol Production Music (Capitol Media Music).

From 1992-1995, Tiger Electronics re-introduced 2-XL with a brand new selection of audio cassette tapes that ran twice the length of the cartridge tapes and had better sound quality. Like with the 8-track cartridge tapes, the cassette tapes also used music from the Emil Ascher library. But because the library music distributor dissolved in 1989, some of their previous labels had to be licensed through Associated Production Music (KPM Music, Bruton Music) and Audio Action (Amphonic Music). In addition, they also began utilizing De Wolfe Music.
