Wal-Mart has these for about $20. It has a mini stereo plug and will plug into 
any mini sound output jack, such as a sound card, etc.

It has 4 output frequencies you can select from and it really works great! You 
plug it into your computer's sound card, select your frequency, then tune 
your FM stereo to that frequency. 

No software needed (or supplied). I use it to stream an internet radio station 
to anywhere in my house. 30 feet is a conservative maximum range.

It runs on 2 AAA batteries. Radio Shack has a similar one that will run on 
either batteries or it has a cigarette lighter jack for power, too.
