Manually manage your music on your iPhone

With 1.1.3 there is now the option to manually manage your music on your iPhone. I have not verified this yet, but it should allow you to have you iPhone synced with your home computer and be able to plug it into another computer and play your music...

What do you mean by... allowing you to plug into another computer and play your music? Are you saying you can download the songs on the phone to another computer?

Ok, I'm at work and it will not allow me to manually manage my iPhone here at work. When I check the box it comes up saying this iPhone is synced with another iTunes Library. Do you want to erase the contents and sync with this iTunes Library (or something to that effect).
I tried un-checking the auto-sync box but get the same message.
Any ideas?
I'm am updated on both computers to the most recent version of iTunes, the only difference is my home computer is Leopard and my work computer is Tiger.

You should be able to as long as it's the same OS system. You can't run a OSX formatted ipod or iphone on a windows PC version of itunes and vice versa. But as long as you've selected the options to manually manage music and to manually sync the phone you should be able to plug your iphone into someone elses computer and play your mp3s throught their itunes.
Of course I haven't tried this with the new update on iphone but I do know that it worked with my iPod nano.

Does that mean that at work, you can't see your songs (that are on iphone) in itunes, and you cant double click (in itunes) on songs that reside on your iphone so that these songs would play through your work computer speakers?

I can (and always have been able to) see the songs that are on my iPhone on my work computer, but they are grayed out. The play button is also grayed out.
The iPhone is not like the iPod as far as being formatted for the Mac vs PC as far as I know. There is only one format for the iPhone. But either way that is not my issue.

Yes, agreed, you can see the songs, but they are grayed out. Is that still the case when you connect to a different/work computer? (I'd love to try here at work, but running Win2000, so I can't even install iTunes over 7.3.x

I can't try it out right now on another computer, would have to kick someone off of their computer, download iTunes... just don't have the time for all that right now, but maybe later. Sorry to hear about the windows situation. But I think of all the windows versions, 2000 pro is/was the best, but nobody supports it anymore, so...
Is there anyone else who can confirm what I'm seeing or tell me that it works on multiple computers for them?

I've upgraded both of my home computers to the new version of iTunes (7.6), and I can now add music from either without completely replacing what's on the iPhone. I have my phone synced with my main desktop machine, but with "manually manage music" checked on both machines. I then plugged it in to my laptop. The music library now shows as black, not grey, and I can play the iPhone music through iTunes on the laptop (couldn't do that before...). I tested by dragging and dropping a single track from the laptop music library onto the iPhone. It transferred and played without incident. It works fine for me. I think the key is that the capability is in iTunes, not in the iPhone. You need iTunes 7.6 for this to work.

Both computers have 7.6 on them. Did you at some point get a message saying it was gonna erase the iPhone? or did it just switch to manual manage with no message after you clicked apply?

Nope- no message... I just plugged the phone in, saw the "manually manage music" option, checked that, hit "apply" and was off and running. I may have hit "sync" in there somewhere (mainly to update my podcasts), but I'm not sure about that.

Can anyone else reproduce these results? The error message I am getting when I try to plug my iPhone into a 2nd computer is pretty specific.
The dialog box that pops up when I plug in my iPhone to a 2nd machine, check "Manually manage music and videos" and hit apply reads:
"The iPhone name here is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
and below it "An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
- and there's a "Cancel" and an "Erase and Sync" button.
