less then $10 shipped  and it plugs right into a USB port on your computer, i have one for my car and it works great... it shows it with a car 12v adapter, but that is just a 12v to USB plug converter.

That looks almost EXACTLY like my Belkin Tunecast2, except for the 4 buttons along the bottom.  Mine doesn't have a USB port on it either tho (but does have the power hookup, 12v, 200ma).  It DEFINITELY sucks down batteries, but it works great in my van.  Never thought about using it for music in the house though...

You know, this would be a great way of using this technology for a wireless 3d surround sound -- albeit with a radio plugged in behind you ... Hmmm, I think I will look into this!  :applaud:

FM transmitters usually suck, with a capital "uck", but may be ok if you don't have a lot of traffic on the dial in your area.

Tell me, do you have a means of plugging in an external input to your sound system?  If so, you can sometimes find inexpensive 2.4ghz transmitter receiver combos which have pretty decent stereo audio capabilities.  At one point, I used one on my setup to get audio from the computer to the stereo and it worked quite well.  And, they just plug into the wall.

Yes, as tba said, get one of these!

It's exactly what I'm using on my jukebox ..in addition to the inbuilt speakers and two independent RCA stereo outputs etc. :)



USB powered etc. and works actually quite nicely considering its price ..
