I like the idea. I'm wondering if some kind of USB transmitter is sold
which will transmit an FM frequency that can be picked up on the radio
and from which I could play Pandora throughout the house. Anybody
heard of such a thing?


This is a Bluetooh device that runs on the 2.4gz band.
My concern would be how far you can actually get out.


It's got to be something that I can pick up with FM, like XM Radio. I
need about twenty feet or so of distance.

I have an XM transmitter you can have if you want it. It will work for
fairly short line of sight distances but not so much out in the yard
through the wall.
Email me an address and I will send it to you.

I am currently using the RCA 900mz stuff and that seems to work fairly
well. I have some wireless speakers and a couple headsets.
What I like about it is the transmitters are on slightly different
frequencies so you can have a couple running and select them like
radio stations. That was what I hoped to do with the FM transmitter
but the FCC makes them be fairly low power devices.

I don't think the XM transmitter would take input from my audio card,
would it? I'm wanting to send Pandora.com music to my Bose FM
reciever. The only way I can think of to get the output from the
computer is through my sound card.

Unless there's a better way??
