Right now I have my iMac hardwired to my stereo. Its way easier that finding and paying the CDs. I am investigating connecting them wirelessly.

I found the Zoom iHiFi at http://zoom.com/products/ihifi.html but was told that Apple's Blue Tooth drivers do not support A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile). A2DP is required to distribute the music from the Mac to the BT receiver attached to ny stereo.

I checked Apple's Support pages
http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?objID=c149&search=Go&q=Advanced+Audio+Distribution+Profile
and learned that A2DP is disabled in Apple's BlueTooth stack. So even if the Mac and iHiFi can pair, the Mac won't transmit (distribute) my music to the BT receiver connected to my stereo.

iHiFi is $60.
AirPort Express with AirTunes is $130.

So, besides AirTunes, is there any way I can do this?

Gary,

Check the Apple Store for a referbushed AirPort Express if they have one it should be closer in price to the other product.
