listen to internet radio 2 rms away from computer - how?
Hello,
I'm posting this query to sci.electronics.repair because when I google the topic, the most relevant posts seem to be on this newsgroup; please forgive me if it's off-topic. Also, if anyone knows another newsgroup where it might be good/better for me to post it, please let me know. I like to listen to streaming radio stations on my computer, but I'd like to be able to listen to them elsewhere in my (small) apartment too. I think that means I want to get wireless speakers and somehow transmit the streaming audio from my computer across the apartment to those speakers, but I don't know how to do this and what I will need to shop for. I do not presently have a wireless card or wireless network. I would also be interested in finding out how to put the streaming audio through my stereo receiver, which is just in the next room from the computer - but I will also want to have wireless speakers, because I most like to listen to the radio in the kitchen (next room over from the stereo). Thanks very much for reading if you've read this far, and thank you in advance for any assistance. Jim Gussen |

Computer audio to Stereo system: Buy an FM transmitter and hook up to you sound card outputs. For both of the above at the same time, plus computer speakers, it would be good to have some isolation between the devices. A simple resistive network would do it, but that probably involves more technical acumen than you have. It's possible that all will play nice together with a couple of 'Y' cords feeding them. An alternative to wireless speakers would be a boom box in your kitchen, tuned to your FM transmitter. jak Jim Gussen |

In terms of purchasing a good RF transmitter - the brands I've had recommended to me are Belkin and Griffin, and I notice that Griffin makes the iTrip. Would either of these do fine, do you think, or is there another make/model I should be looking for? Best, and thanks again - Jim |
