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.
Sounds fairly decent and straightforward. I have the unfortunate tendency
to change my favourite tunes very often, though, which was why I was
looking for some external wireless capability (that really means I am too
lazy to reload the mp3 player with different tunes) :-)

I challenge you to find a current MP3 player with less than 4gb , many have
more storage ... just load it up, and then create playlists depending on
theme, mood, tempo, etc ..
