Yes, you can buy this appliance that looks somewhat like a stereo receiver. It works with your wireless network to receive digital RF signals, and you send stereo sound over to the thing. Set it up anywhere in or near your house and stream your MP3 audio etc. or any other audio source that goes through the sound card on the computer.
You can buy them at most larger electronics retailers nowadays. **** I DO NOT RECOMMEND GETTING ANYTHING FROM **** 'BEST BUY' (also known as worst buy) BECAUSE THEIR PREDATORY STORE POLICIES ALLOW THEIR EMPLOYEES TO LIE ABOUT HTE PRODUCTS AND THEN IF YOU LOSE THE RECEIPT LIKE I DID, YOU WILL BE FORCED TO KEEP THE GARBAGE PRODUCT Your mileage may vary of course, but a few of these stores like Target, Best Buy and a couple of others are getting REALLY tight with their return policies. This case was different - the guy actually lied to me, and because I lost the receipt the bastards refuse to take it back EVEN toward an exchange on a product that WILL meet my needs. FYI - This customer, who has spent thousands of dollars at Best Buy will, ON PRINCIPLE, never buy ANYTHING from those stupid, greedy S.O.B.s again.
