Pandora through current home system

how is the best way to do this? I just want to run it through my system like an old seperate "tuner". I read the ads and they address "no pc required" . i think that this might be a nice way to have background music without changing cd's all day. what all id required, and a "down and dirty" how to do.
Thanks all.

I use a Squeezebox. Very effective.

A Squeezebox can be used to stream Pandora?

Absolutely. The Squeezebox comes pre-programmed to accept a variety of services, including Pandora, Rhapsody, Live365, Shoutcast, internet radio, etc. There's also services I've never heard of and various playlists, starions, and podcasts. It is an amazing device.
Once you set up the Squeezebox, it even shows the name of your Pandora stations. One of mine is my name and it shows up on the display of the Squeezebox -- Neil.

Thanks Neil. I didn't realize it was capable of that... I thought it would just stream the information I had ripped. More food for thought now!

Squeezebox is terrific. The better DAC is in it's 'Big Brother', the Transporter.
