MP3 AirLink Wireless Audio Transmitter and Receiver
Startech's MP3 AirLink Wireless Audio Transmitter and Receiver uses the same frequency spectrum as a Wi-Fi network to transit your music from an iPod or computer to a stereo. The system comes with two palm-sized rectangular cubes — a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter has a button to let you scroll through eight channels, helping you get a clear signal.
Startech advertises the range to be 100ft in the clear, and 30ft through walls, and that seems about right to me. When I connected the transmitter to my desktop computer in one room and the stereo in another, I experienced some dropouts, until I moved the transmitter and receiver around.
The AirLink has become my preferred way to play songs from my computer to my home stereo, because I can control the songs from iTunes.
Advantages: You can control the songs from your iPod or computer; sound quality is good.
Disadvantages: Each device is powered with an AC adapter, but if you don’t need portability, this isn’t a problem; getting good reception can be tricky, range is limited to 30ft through walls. $64.38 on Amazon

First I must say that I enjoy your website very much......great stuff here always - But dang this Airlink Wireless didn't work for squat - not a sound - not a whisper of music = not a hint of bass; treble or midrange.
Anyway sent it back - got an airport from mac and presto - a working itunes through the stereo
