Hi,I bought a pair of Ipod speakers, but I don't know how they plug into the Stream. Is there an adapter you can buy so that the jack will fit the Stream? It would be nice knowing that I hadn't wasted 25 dollars.

Hi Adrien. Before you do anything, you might like to hear about my recent experience with regard to speakers for the Stream. I, with my wife, went into Maplins on the spur of the moment where I found they had a very good selection. and found the staff exceptionally helpful. As I didn't have theStream with me at the time, they even undid packages to let me have a better look, despite me telling them not to. I had settled on a nice pair for £25, but they agreed to let me come on Wednesday with the Stream to try them out. But this is where the tale went wrong for Maplins. Because we had some furthershopping to get from a supermarket, my wife happened to see 3 differenttypes of I-pod speakers. After having a good look at them I decided to buy a pair for just under £10 as they only had this one left, and I liked the style of them and they were verysmall and compact. . Even someone with a hearing loss cannot fail to hearmusic from these little speakers. To give you an idea how powerful they are, I set my Stream to volume 4 and could hear music quite distinctly from over 20 feet away, and talking books from over 10 feet away, though I accept this is all down to how the recordings were made in the first place. For me theseare the neatest speakers I have ever seen. When closed, they are only a fraction bigger than the Stream itself. There is just 1 control to worry about, and that is the on/off button at the back of the right hand facing speaker. If you have some residual sight, there is a bright blue light to show that it is powered up. I have only 1 criticism and that is the lead from the speaker to your I-pod or Stream, is a little short, which means I have to put the Stream in its cradle back to front. This I find not to betoo much of a problem, as it uses your I-pod or Stream for its functions forvolume, content, etc. Where did I buy these speakers? Tesco comes up trumps again. They are, Technika Portable MP3 Speakers. What you get in the box, arespeakers themselves with 4 triple A, batteries, a carrying case, and a 3.5mmto a smaller jack. If you or anyone would like a demo of these speakers,please feel free to e-mail me and I will gladly give you my telephone numberfor you to ring, or you can Skype me on Yedding. Hope this helps.
