[Hidden-tech] setting up Pandora through stereo

[Jeff Mackler]

We do this in our house using an Airport Express and Airfoil software.  The Airport Express will connect to your wifi and plugs in near your stereo.  The you run a cable from it to an 'in' port on the stereo.  Out of the box, you can send music from iTunes to the AirportExpress.  If however you want to send other audio sources to it, you have to use Airfoil (http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/), which allows you to send Pandora, or anything else to it. 

You can pickup a last generation Airport Express for around $40.  We liked it so much that we've got 3 of them in the house and can send the same music to multiple locations in the house, through different stereo systems (bedroom, living room, and backyard).
