There are several ways to do this. The first and cheapest is to go to Radio Shack, or Walmart even, and buy a 3.5mm stereo to RCA adapter. This will be a "Y" shaped cord with a normal headphone jack theat you plug into the computer and a red and white RCA type plugs that you would use on your stereo. The other and more expensive option is to by a fm transmitter. This will plug into the computers headphone jack and transmitt a fm signal that any nearby stero could pick up.

Items you will need:
Laptop/desktop computer with sound card speaker jack and Rhapsody installed.
Home stereo receiver with available jacks (i.e. Aux, Tape2, etc.).
Stereo 1/8" mini jack-to-RCA plugs Y adapter. Available for less than $10 at local and online Hi-Fi / computer retailers.
Connecting your laptop/desktop computer to your stereo receiver:
Turn off the power on your computer.
Turn off the power on your stereo receiver.
Plug the single end of the Y adapter into the sound card speaker jack of your laptop/ desktop computer. This is the same jack you would plug in computer speakers.
Locate an available jack (i.e. Aux, Tape2, etc.) on the back of your stereo receiver where you can plug in the other ends of the Y cable. Do not use the Phono jack; this will cause static or interference.
Match the red plug of the Y cable to the red jack on your stereo receiver and connect.
Match the black plug of the Y cable to the white jack on your stereo receiver and connect. Depending on the Y cable you select, this plug may be black, white or gray.
Your computer is now successfully connected to your home stereo receiver.
Turn the power on both your computer and home stereo.
On your stereo receiver, select the mode where your computer is connected (Aux, Tape2, etc.).
Launch Rhapsody, sign in, select music and play. The sound will now be coming from your stereo speakers.

The laptop to stereo is a little different than if it were a desktop PC hooked up to the stereo. You're going to an audio in/out cable. One end of the cable, the audio out goes into your stereo and it is RC (L)(R) connetors, the other end, the audio in goes into your microphone port in your laptop. Both ends are different. Go to your local RadioShack and explain what you have and want to do, they know what you need.

OK first you will need a radio receiver. Secondly at radio shack they sell a head phone plug to a radio adapter (it looks like a speaker cable end). The plug the headphone part into your lap top and the other end to your aux input on your radio. select aux on your radio and you are good to go. Good luck
