would it not be easier/simpler/less expensive to just copy music to an MP3
player and hook to inexpensive external speakers and be done with it ?
Maybe not the most elegant high tech solution, but seems to me it would
meet your requirements.

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 ..

I suppose your other alternative is to bring a wireless laptop to your
workout dungeon to access your main storage, but that seems overkill to me
( not to mention potential risk to the laptop in that workout environment )

I realise that storage is not the issueI'm not trying to be awkward,
but if I had a new favourite song, once I'd downloaded it I would have to
copy it to two places (or more, depending on how far I take this idea). I
know it's not much work but the IT bod in me hates duplication of effort :-)
Yeah, could do that, it is overkill though because I'd then have to fire it
up and access the playlists etc.
Been Googling about for an mp3-capable wireless home stereo of some sort,
but I'm not having much luck :-(

The WD TV live can stream from a single file share and output to any

Cheap, portable, reusable kit if you decide to upscale later on.

Just be aware that the airport express ties you to itunes. otherwise it
is awesome.
