I'm trying to get into the habit of working out (now that we've moved into the mountains I'm not riding my bike to work ay longer). I've set up a heavy bag in the (under-the-house) garage and am trying to spend some quality time knocking the crap out of it.
I'd like to listen to something while working. I see at least three options: 1) Cheap out and get a little bookshelf CD player. I could burn CDs and listen. 2) I could get a decent set of speakers compatible with my Pocket PC (something that connects via a headphone jack and are self-amplified). I wouldn't have to convert my audio but I would have copy whatever I want to the device (which is what I do now). 3) Get a networked media player and a decent set of small speakers for it. This would be my preference: access to my complete collection whenever I want. No wires to connect, copies or discs to worry about. (My collection is WMA so any device would have to be compatible. It would be great if it were also compatible with my ReadyNAS streaming media server but that's not a necessity.) Any solution would have to be controllable from the garage (none of these "media extenders" which are managed via a PC). I can easily run an Ethernet connection into the garage but 802.11g wireless would be spiffy. It would be nice for the system to have at least a little oomph: just enough so that we could also listen while washing the cars or doing laundry in the attached utility room or the like. A radio would be nice, but not a high priority. Cost is an issue - I'd like to get this soon and don't have much free cash right now. Any thoughts/recommendations?
