Easy to use appliance or alternative for streaming audio / music? And recommendations on amp / speakers for that?
Helping a friend that wants a simple way to play streaming music in his shop.
I thought of Alexa / echo dot.
Also thought of a cable TV box connected only to audio to play the music channel through the audio out. But a cable box rental / TV service would be expensive / month.
Are there 'appliances' for specific streaming services for audio?
Otherwise I envision having to have a PC / iphone / ipod type thing running the app of a streaming service?
And then - this is music to play in a hair salon. What's the legality of playing the services in a commercial environment? Is there a business subscription that covers playing it in a commercial business?
Finally - feeding the audio out of an echo dot / PC / ipod into 3 speakers for a 1,200 sq ft room. We're thinking 3 ceiling speakers. But need an amp to do that? Any recommendations?

how to get a streaming service to 3 speakers for an area that's about 1200 feet (actually lets say 800 ft - there's back office / rooms that won't have the sound.
And an easy interface. I guess an ipod with the streaming app on it, earphone jack to ____ ?? an amp? then the 3 speakers - in series? parallel?
