laptop that was in sleep mode
Not if it's asleep.
If you can tell the laptop to not go to sleep then put something like Plex on it and that'll open up your options a bit.Alternatively, Spotify and Alexa. I've got an echo I need to sell as it happens. Also got an old Bose radio and an echo dot that I plugged into it. And a Logitech UE Air with an echo dot. Lemme know if you're interested in anything and I'll locate them.

One issue I with a lot of this type of streaming device is that if you're not using a phone/tablet/tv the interface is pretty shit. Choosing mp3s using a remote or buttons on a device can be hard work.
If you are using a phone/tablet/tv then you might as well use that as the player.
(Also you're not going to get anything off the laptop whilst it's asleep).

Is there a thing that could, via the household WiFi, stream digital radio and play mp3s off of a laptop that was in sleep mode (but also on the WiFi)?
Ideally cheap as it's for the child. She doesn't need high end stuff yet.
