How can I play PC music wirelessly outside?

[TerryD]

Like most people I have a ton of MP3's on my PC and with the nice
weather would like to play the music outside but my PC is in my
basement. This means openening the windows, cranking the sound (barely
hear it outside) and having to go to basement everytime I want to
change the playlist/song.

Ideally I would like to use my PDA (Toshiba e310) to browse my
collection and play music on the PC to wireless speakers that I can
drag wherever I want to go around the house. The maximum range would
be about 50ft.

I currently have no wireless equipment My PDA has one SDIO slot.
General info on the PDA can be found at

- Does a method exist to do this on a limited budget (roughly $200 CAD)
or does a better method exist to go about it?
- I take it I would need a WIFI SDIO card, wireless router and wirless
speakers. Anything I'm missing?
- What wireless standard should I go with (802.11x)?
- What software would allow me to remote control/browse/play the MP3's?

Well lets see. You would need the wireless card for your device. If they make one I recommend a G but I think only B is available.

Wireless router and you could use headphones. I have no experience with wireless speakers or wireless headsets.

There are several programs for controlling itunes and windows media player from your toshiba. Here is one program I found: http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=11931

That page has some good information in general for what your wanting to do. Also, if you go wireless, you can listen to streaming FM radio on your toshiba.

if you have a wireless router and your PPC has WiFi (it can be SDIO WiFi) you can broadcast music from your iTunes library through this program WiFiTunes.

my computer runs con G standard but my PPC runs con B standard. it doesnt matter as long as they are conected to the same Access Point.
