I can think of a few options. One would be to use an FM transmitter. You
could attach an FM transmitter to your PC and then broadcast the music
from your PC and pick it up on your stereo, assuming you have a FM
receiver as part of your stereo. I don't have one myself, but I'm sure
others can chime in with more details, opinions and information.
You can also use a few different technologies to broadcast music from
your PC over wifi or bluetooth to a receiver that you could then attach
to your stereo. Apple TV and Airport Express would be two such examples,
and others can speak to them with much greater detail than I can.
A third option is to go with an accessible portable media player with
enough storage and then attaching it to your stereo system. Even if your
stereo system doesn't have a lot of connectors, you should be able to
find connectors that run from your MP3 player into the auxiliary input
of your stereo receiver. Note that you'd still have to have this level
of connection if you were using a wifi or bluetooth receiver. You could
avoid this with the FM transmitter though. This is the route I went. Not
because it was superior to any of the other methods, but rather it just
fit my needs.
With this method, I have a portable MP3 player with most of my music. I
can use this when traveling, exercising, sitting in the waiting room or
whatever. I can also attach it to the stereo in my living room, the
powered external speakers in my bedroom or the audio input jack of my
wife's car. For MP3 players, you have a few different options. You can
go with an off the shelf MP3 player that will run Rockbox. This would be
the cheapest route. You could go with an iPod. Finally, you could go
with an MP3 player tailored specifically for the blind, such as the
Booksense. Each have their relative strenghts.
That's my $0.02.

Hi All,
I wonder if you can assist.
For use whilst on the move I rip all my music directly to MP3.
I still use a traditional hi fi for listening at home
I would like for a few reasons to pack away the c d 's and use something I
can connect to my hi fi to listen to music at home.
I am using a basic separates system that includes a Cyrus amplifyer with
little or no fancy connections.
I do not need an ipod for listening on the move otherwise I may go down that
route.
Is there some sort of hard drive I could use that is accessible and I can
just copy all the MP3's to.
Yes when it comes to hi fi I am about 15 years out of date but hey the Cirus
amp used to be leading edge and it still works!
Thanks for your assistance
Colin
