    I have a Blackberry Curve 9220 with Blackberry 7.1 on it. I have a Windows 8 64-bit laptop. I want to stream audio from my phone to my laptop speakers like my laptop speakers are Bluetooth speakers. I don't get a audio stream feature when I open my device in Devices and Printers. Software will work if possible. I would like a software or way to stream wired if there is no way to stream on Bluetooth.

    Cheap / Simple Audio Streaming Device

    I was looking into setting up a bunch of Apple Airport Express devices (the old 802.11g models) around my house so that I could stream music to any room.... however these are a bit more expensive then I was hoping (around $50-60) or a used one. Are there any other good, inexpensive options out there for streaming audio wirelessly around the house?

    I'm fine with them all playing the same thing, I don't need separate "zones". Also it would be great if they could just stream what ever happens to be playing on the host computer (Windows 7 in my case)... so basically I could just play audio from any application and it would be heard from each device.

    Any thoughts?

    Found two current options, and one that appears to be no longer available (but you might be able to find it somewhere or perhaps Ebay)

    Linksys WMB54G Wireless-G Music Bridge - $75. Not sure if this is expandable (i.e. you can have multiple endpoint units).

    Creative Labs Xmod Wireless Music System with X-Fi Technology 70SB083000004 ($56.99 for a base station + single receiver) - this one is expandable beyond a single receiver unit, and you can purchase additional receiver units separately, though I can't seem to find any on Amazon at the moment.

    Radio Shack 2.4GHz Audio Link with USB Connection - not sure how much these are (can't find a price online), nor am I certain that you can expand them past a single receiver unit, but you might want to investigate it... if you have a Radio Shack (ahem, I mean "The Shack") location nearby, maybe they have some stashed away in a back room or on the clearance table.

    Sorry I can't be of more help, but this might be a starting point. Googling "wireless music streaming" or "wireless music system" or some such might be helpful as well.
