Awesome, another MIT alum in the slinke community!  I was course 6-1, class
of '88.

 My suggestion would be to buy yourself a Ramsey FM-10A bootleg FM
transmitter, set it up to put the audio out of your changers on an unused FM
station.  You can then get medium quality slink-e audio, wirelessly,
anywhere you have a radio, including your backyard, bedroom, etc.  I use
this in my house and it is a good solution.
