Interesting alternative control surfaces are JL Cooper's MCS 2 and 3, but their price tag is very high in absolute ($300+) and in particular for a simple media user.
An hardware "Keyboard extender" (or "Media Pad") could be studied that includes a coloured (green-red) VU meter and big and solid transport controls.
It could be in-line with the keyboard, within easy reach, and it should go, for ergonomic reasons, on the opposite side of the mouse. It would be, however, unnatural to use media controls with the left hand for a right-handed person (and vice-versa). Keeping it on the mouse side would move the mouse too far from the keyboard. Media transport control keys could be of a different colour.
