Project experience for an EE undergrad with Rhapsody

My name is Nathan Rozendaal (UW Alum) and I work for Rhapsody (the music streaming subscription service).  One of my responsibilities is to oversee our new innovation program.  As part of this program we hold a "hackathon"(or as we call them "RhapAThons") for our company roughly once per quarter.  In these events the company devotes 48 hours to working on new and innovative projects.  Our next event is early February. 

The reason I'm writing you is that we have a project that involves an innovative in-home integration of Rhapsody via a new wifi-connected audio device that we are conceptualizing that requires some heavy EE expertise/involvement.  I thought it could be potentially an interesting project for a UW EE undergrad to be involved with.  There is no available compensation but it could be a great experience for a student and give them an opportunity to work on a device that has the potential of reaching hundreds of thousands of users.
