Hi Lotus.

Very interesting thread. This topic rolls around in my head every now and again, but unfortunately for me, the idea of listening to music in the family room through a traditional Hi-Fi stereo system just isn't there anymore. Sad really.

However, I can achieve this quite easily using some things here that are now obsolete and others may have these too. Perhaps an old iPhone or iPod Touch. And maybe you bought a dock for it that has an audio out connection. Now you can simply use a patch cable and feed it into the Aux input of the receiver and use the interface of the iDevice to stream AM over WiFi using your favorite internet radio app of choice. There are many more ways to skin this cat, this one just came up because I have the parts laying around the house and could easily be put to the task.

BTW, I am actually using my original iPhone 3G now only in wifi mode to stream music in the master bath using a Logitech dock. So these devices do still serve a noble purpose if you don't sell them for other reasons.
