Airport Express (~$50) coupled to an iHome mini speaker (~$20).
Done. Cheap, portable, reusable kit if you decide to upscale later on.

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.
TIA,
JRR
