Can I use Bluetooth to transmit audio played on my home PC to

Bluetooth is intended as PAN (personal area network).
I.e. am operating range of 3 feet or 1 meter.

How did you work that one out?
Bluetooth has come a long way and was always intended as a comms device
but distance 1m?
I always saw it advertised as capable of 'up to 30 feet' so you appear
to be a factor of 10 out!
I have never seen its range purported to be so minimal

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth

Class 1 100 mW (20 dBm) ~100 meters
Class 2 2.5 mW (4 dBm) ~10 meters
Class 3 1 mW (0 dBm) ~1 meter
