Something like this should do it: https://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Receiver-Simultaneously/dp/B01EHSX28M/ref=sr_1_7?crid=TERJ04YNCCNY&keywords=wireless+audio+transmitter+and+receiver&qid=1582833517&sprefix=wireless+audio+t%2Caps%2C156&sr=8-7

Chromecast Audio? It's been discontinued, but you may be able to find a used one on CL, FB Marketplace, or ebay. Then you can just cast Spotify stream from your phone to it. Or does it have to be from the computer?

Hmmm, I'd look for a Bluetooth option. Does your computer support BT ? If so, a "receiver" at the stereo receiver should do it. Maybe something like this ? Locate it at your stereo, connect it using one of the outputs it uses into your stereo, switch to that input, and you should be "streaming".

Just use an old (Android) cell phone. No service needed,but should have a "relatively" recent operating system. The old cell phone should have an earphone jack. Plug in an adapter cable, earphone jack to whatever your receiver input is (RCA?) and your done. Old cell phone connects to your WiFi, install Spotify, tune to "Classic Rock Workout" and enjoy!

I guess we'd need to know how far his computer is located from his garage receiver. BT doesn't have a lot of range.

Don't do it by computer. Do it by smart phone. Good luck!!!!

I'm thinking he doesn't own one. Otherwise, he would have just plugged it into the receiver.

NO smart phone, computer is in kitchen about 25 ft away from receiver in the garage. Looking at this wireless receiver as mentioned by hallstevenson. https://www.parts-express.com/dayto...h-audio-receiver-with-ir-remote--300-597

Do you already have a BT transmitter in your computer?

Just go to the flea market and get an old Android smartphone for $10.00. Just make sure it has Google Play Store access. Everything else is free. Bluetooth should be good to at least 30 feet, and your wifi signal will go way beyond 25 feet.

This. I am honestly considering putting "go get a $50 used phone (I am in Canada. Everything is more expensive.)" alongside "duct tape", "twist ties" and "hammer" on my go-to list of Things That Will Very Likely Solve This Problem.

Do you use free Spotify or Premium? Premium allows you to have wifi connected devices like you describe using a variety of methods without complex schemes.

I know this isn't what you have, but something to consider is Yamaha MusicCast speakers. They are awesome for streaming either bluetooth or over WIFI.
