    yes, you'll want to look at the apple's airport express. Just plug in your computer speakers to that.

    nothing cheaper (and halfway decent) that I know of. I've seen bluetooth speakers, but those won't be any better than the laptop speakers (they were designed for bt-enabled phones). Wireless home theater speakers are beginning to come out, but those still need a transmitter (you'll still have a wire from the computer to a big box).

    If you have a ipod fm transmitter that plugs into the headphone jack only, you can use that with a stereo system, but that would still leave you with wires hanging out, would it not?

    The airport express is expensive, but it will satisfy most self-proclaimed audiophiles.
