Hi Tom,

The stream does have an internal speaker but it's small and good for 
listening in very specific situations.  In a vehicle though, you'd 
definitely want something better and with a bit of power to hear over 
road noise and even if you're parked.  I haven't tried the unit you 
described for an ipod, but that just might be a good solution.

Otherwise, you can get small power speakers from a lot of places and 
there are several brands to choose from.  But, you'll definitely want an 
external speaker of some sort unless you plan to use earphones most of 
the time.
Because of the small size, the speaker volume of the internal isn't all 
that powerful, and the sound quality isn't all that good for general 
listening unless you've got it on your pillow or something like that.

Don
