Blossom-- if you're looking for a portable music player to stream music over WIFI (not cell service), consider any of the pay-as-you-go android phones. I use an never-activated Kyocera Rise from Virgin Mobile, solely as a mini Android tablet with WIFI access. That model is Android 4.0, and my wife uses hers to stream Pandora at work. built in speaker is pretty minimal-- she uses a mini powered speaker to hear it throughout her workplace. The phone is what the tablet geeks call a "plain vanilla" Android build, so generally any app that will run on Android 4.0 on a somewhat slow processor, should work. With WiFi on and data (cell signal) off, she can play music for several 8 hour shifts before needing to recharge.
I got ours for significantly under $50 on sale. Although we've been happy with the Rise, any similar phone should work if I understand your needs. The Rise is kind of heavy, since it has a qwerty slider keyboard. You might find one with better audio quality from the internal speakers if you need to avoid the external speaker and have minimal HiFi expectations (I've never heard any tablet internal speaker that I would consider acceptable for music playback all day long, but I'm kind of picky about that.)
