You can buy a Raspberry Pi and SD card and set them up to do the same thing, but it's going to take a lot of effort and time to initially set up (and you better be familiar with Linux o r willing to learn!), or you can buy an outdated AirPort Express for a fraction of the price, set it up, and play music through it.
