Re: External memory -->speakers?

I agree with Five. Just get a mp3 player (maybe a model with removable flash memory).
If you're against that and maybe your speakers are somewhere in the house that you don't want to have a "big honkin computer," you can always buy a mini-itx motherboard with a built in (fanless) processor. Combine that with a small stick of RAM and a flash hard drive (all you need is enough to load an OS) and you can put it just about anywhere. It doesn't take much muscle to play music files (mp3 or lossless) so you could probably put the whole thing together for less than $100-$150 depending on where you get the parts. Small enough that you can put it just about anywhere and it's easy to build the entire system as fanless since you're not doing major processing.
