I don't have the luxury of a dedicated music room as I am currently living in a converted car garage. I do hope to be moving soon though and I will probably have a small room I can use for such a purpose. Someone recommended I set it up with diffuser and absorption panels for the best sound results. Is this an immediate need?

Directional speakers will help a lot, as will multiple subs to help smooth room modes. Then again, garages are often pretty lively and they usually aren't built with any attention paid to soundproofing. Stuff tends to vibrate.
Myself, I might be tempted to hang a few thick carpets or put up some egg crates to help deaden the room. Find any thing that vibrates and tack it down in some way.
You said you aren't planning to stay, so I'm not sure it makes sense to invest in any wedges or panel traps at this point. You would generally make them to fit along the walls, and where you're going might have different size rooms. Still, here is some useful information, in case you decide to go that route:
Thanks for the links. Yep I am hoping to finally move out of my 'temporary' abode and the new music room will be in a regular house or apartment. I was just wondering if I needed to buy special extra equipment rightaway, or not. It's good to know there are things I can do if the move is delayed, I need music!
