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.

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.

Pandora works great through Sonos. You don't even need the computer at all to setup new stations; everything can be done through the controller.

You don't need the computer to set up new stations through the Squeezebox, either. Once you set it up, the computer does not have to be on for internet content, as it is receiving through the router, which sits between the computer and the modem.
As for the Transporter, UncleJeff, I assumed the difference is the DAC. Is there any other advantage to the Transporter that you're aware of? I ask because I have the Squeezebox running into my Audio Logic DAC through a coax cable and assume that I wouldn't add anything with the Transporter. I just bought a stock Elpac power supply and intend to send it To Wayne at Boulder Cable for the upgrade and will probably have him do his magic on the Squeeze as well. What do you think?
Thanks,
