I'm looking to have some fun by creating a music player that can read floppy disks and send a signal to an external DAC/Amp stack. It doesn't have to be too fancy and if one already exists then I would be totally down to repurpose it. Ideally it would be wall powered and wouldn't be too expensive.
For other aspects of my project, I am looking to shuck a commercial player that can take an SD card and put it into a custom housing. I am also open to building my own, as I have seen many a tutorial of making SD card players online, but most of them have batteries or directly connect a speaker and do not have an optical or toslink output.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am a bit of an audio newbie. I am not 100% confident in designing my own electronics but am comfortable soldering. Thanks in advance!

FDD max. capacity is less than a music file.
Waste of time.
FM modules, with all you need, are $1.50 here in India.
Read, and go ahead.
Order many to save on shipping, blow up one or two, have fun.

You'll be wanting something like this - takes a TF card and pumps out S/PDIF (Toslink) and I2S. Also supports BT

If you want to buy, this is what I have myself.
Used to be able to buy SPDIF output only, but now only with DAC + SPDIF out.
I have the one with AK4495 + SPDIF, very pleased after the analogue mods.

If you want to DIY, then this is one :

Else look for a 2nd hand QA550.

Another commercial solution, no personal experience :

If you'll allow me to clarify, I don't want to put music onto an FDD, I want to use the FDD as a carriage for an SD. Thanks to all of your suggestions, I will look into them and report back!
You can see that most of the above, with the exception of the ESS Cresendo II, use a WM8804 to convert I2S to SPDIF.
Most SD card player solutions, including Rpi's, seem to favour using I2S out.
But this is one more example where it is direct SPDIF out :

I am a fan of using the same clock (e.g. 256fs) to drive all.
So it rules out, for me personally, all these MCU based solutions using some other clock frequencies.
