Play iphone music on any pc

Cannot be done. Audio out via the dock connector doesn't run to a computer. You could use a headphone patch cable to your PC's microphone port, or to external speakers.

Yes, you can do this with
Mac: PhoneView

Window: TouchCopy

Hope this helps!

That will allow him to copy the songs to his PC and play them from the PC, it won't let him play the songs on the iPhone.

I'd love to see a similar app. I have my library on my iPhone but my HD on my MacBookPro gets too full to work on videos and lots of photos if the iTUnes library is on it. I can't see why it should be difficult to make such and app.

It will take more than just an applet. Microsoft Sync is a hardware/firmware system specifically designed
to be iPod/iPhone & other MP3 player compatible. Microsoft could partner
with Dell & others to license this firmware and install chips in the computer
to implement this. But since u can use a $5 cable and connect to the sound
card I'm not sure there is much of a market for it.

Hello. I'm interested in this topic as well because I just bought a 16GB iPhone 3GS.

I sync my iPhone with my iMac at home but I want to be able to play music, podcasts, etc that's stored on the iPhone on my PC at work using iTunes. Right now, I can view them but everything is grayed out and not selectable.

The frustrating part is that I had a 1G iPod Touch and I was able to do this just fine. I don't see the real difference between being able to do this on the iPod Touch and not being able to do it on the iPhone. They are basically the same beast.

Any one have any thoughts on this?

"I want to be able to play music, podcasts, etc that's stored on the iPhone on my PC at work using iTunes"

As this entire thread says, you cannot do this.

"The frustrating part is that I had a 1G iPod Touch and I was able to do this just fine."

The iphone is not the same thing as an ipod touch. As provided, the iphone does NOT do this.

" I don't see the real difference between being able to do this on the iPod Touch and not being able to do it on the iPhone. "

This does not stop it from being so.

"Any one have any thoughts on this?"

What are you looking for? If you read this thread and many others, you know that this cannot be done with iphone. What more do you need to know?

The iPod supports what is called disk mode, which is required for this. The iPhone does not support disk mode.

I think all of us just want to know why the iPhone is treated differently than any other iPod!!

What's really needed is an effort from the open-source community. Rip out iTunes and the apple drivers. Write a new set of drivers to the dock connector spec and create a virtual "iHome" player on your PC.

If only I had the time ... 😟

Unless I am misunderstanding, PhoneView and TouchCopy will do what they want to do. There's a Play button right in the program, which will play the music. Hope this helps.

Haven't tried it so I really can't say for sure. And not really interested since my music is on my computer.

I downloaded a demo version of PhoneView. It does play the music. One wonders though why this is not simply and App for the iPhone. It costs 19.95. Thanks for the note on this. It is available at www.ecamm.com. Also referenced in a note way up.

There is no reason to do it.

In your car, you need hands-free, and you need to watch the road so you can't look at your iPhone and mess about with it.

In other situations, such as sitting in front of a PC, you don't need to concentrate on anything else. So instead of trying to listen to music/watch movies on a PC via your iPhone, you could just...look at your iPhone.

And to the other poster, the iPod Touch and the iPhone aren't the same thing. Just use some earphones and your iPhone.
