The Tivo sees all your iTunes playlists and lets you pick and choose music from your TV screen. Best part: you can load internet radio stations into an iTunes playlist, which will let you listen to pretty much any radio station that's got an online feed, through your stereo.

I rigged one up with a 3v wallwart so I don't have to deal with batteries. Now I transmit to various boomboxes I have collected through the years. Each room has local volume control so I can have music everywhere I go without one room blasting. It depends on your need for quaility vs cost. Obviously, this isn't the audiophile solution. It's cheap and it works well enough until you decide you are willing to lay out the money for something better.

A/V links are quite pricey, they have a transmitter and a receiver (can also send video). The cheaper solution is radio transmitters that will send to any FM frequency, so that you can play it from any radio inside your house (well as far as the signals go).
