FM Transmitting from desktop?

I know you can buy an FM transmitter at walmart, but I don't live near anywhere that sells them and I can't buy them online atm. I want to stream music from my computer(i.e. YouTube) to a blank radio station in order to play music over my stereo speakers, not my desktop ones. Can anyone help me out here? Can I download one for free online?

    Download a transmitter? Ummmmm, no. Just connect your pc headphone jack to your stereo.

    What you are probably looking for is a very low power device that you plug into your headphone jack and it transmits to the FM band a few feet to a local radio. These can be purchased on line or at radio shack, Fry's and several other general purpose electronics type places quite cheaply. These are legal under FCC rules Part 15, are not going to get you all over the neighborhood, but would get you around your room. They are hardware, not something you can download as a program. try something like this.http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Wholesale-...
