I like listening to music on Pandora or YouTube. I'd like to listen to it on radio in my garage when I'm working on things. Is there some type of adapter I could hook up to my computer that would be sending signal to my radio downstairs in the garage?

I use something like this:

Except mine came with some gaming headsets but they work the same way. Sound quality is nice, although I odn't crank the volume but it does the job.

That's what I use at work since computer is right next to the stereo but at home my computer is upstairs. I don't think they have 100ft stereo cables lol
Is there wireless adapter that I could plug into USB on my computer that would send out audio signal that my radio would receive?

I keep forgetting about desktops.

You can get fm transmitters that use AUX connection, could hook that up to your computer and it'd be simple to find a power source, wether USB or cigarette lighter(just use an adaptor that goes into an outlet).

Not sure about what the quality would be though.

I think you'd need an AUX cable too, that should do the trick though, everything you need is there, so long as the range works.

Im just not understanding how it would work. I plug it into my computer and it will send signal to my radio?

The way it works is that you plug the reciever into your computer, this sends the signal to the receiver.

The, through some wireless stuff, the signal is sent to that rectangular shaped thing, and you plug in headphones or an AUX cable to your stereo and listen to the music/audio from the computer.

There;s kits for a DYI FM radio transmitter, would be the best bet.
