Just moved to a much bigger house and I am trying to revamp all my electronic kit. I have a lot of gym equipment in my garage, but I was fancying putting some sort of music-playing device into the garage that could connect up to my TeraStation and play a selection of music directly from there. Buying a stereo and burning a load of mp3s onto a CD/DVD seems soooo dated now...can anyone recommend any devices that might be able to achieve this for me?
I've already got a streaming box linked to the TV that fires movies/music/pictures onto the TV which works great, but I doubt I could run a cable all the way from the streaming box to the garage (it is a much bigger house). Would I need a device to output the music in the garage as well as another streaming device? I've been Googling about (probably not very cleverly) and I've found plenty stuff that can stream music across to a stereo, but a) I don't have a stereo - I used to play all music through my TV, and b) kit like SqueezeBox seems fairly expensive. I'm not wanting to spend a great deal of money here, quality isn't that important, just need some music in the background while I pound the punchbags! All suggestions gratefully welcomed.
