Send Music by Bluetooth to my Amp

Hi

is there a way to send music (eg via Winamp) from my notebook`s build in
bluetooth device (widdcom) to my amplifier? Any receiver or so? It should be
at least stereo (what bluetooth standard do i have to have to do so)?

I know there is something called "blue mp3" on the market from the IT
magazine ct`. But i think i have to build this one by my own and i think i
am not capable in suceeding .

thanx for any hint

Moin,

Stereo sound (CD-quality, lossy encoding) in Bluetooth is called
'Advanced Audio' and the corresponding protocol is A2DP. (Do not confuse
with 'Bluetooth Audio', which is 8kHz, 8bit, mono.) You will need an
A2DP-SRC on your notebook and an A2DP-SNK next to your stereo. You can
use http://www.heise.de/mobil/bluetooth/db/ to look for devices, for
example the BlueTake Hi-Phono BT460EX will do what you want.

Regarding software on the notebook to implement the SRC: The most common
seems to be BlueSoleil, but also modern Widcomm software (since version
4) can do that. And of course there is http://bluetooth-alsa.sf.net/ for
Linux.

I guess you can understand German, so also see

Depends on your Bluetooth device, but currently only BlueSoleil based
devices have A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), and the recently
announced Widcomm 5, which is not released yet - and may be not supported on
older hardware.

In any case this profile works well with Bluetooth stereo headsets, but you
might need a second box. There's a product from Bluetake that works well,
