iTunes 10 features: Listen to music on someone else’s iPhone, iPad
If you’ve ever wanted to plug in your friend’s iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into your computer to listen to their music, 9to5 Mac points out that today is your lucky day. Doing so will grant you access to all of the music on that iOS device to play via iTunes 10 without having to enable manually manage music mode.
Just don’t expect to be able to export the music files to your computer…

you’ve always been able to do this if the ithing is set to manually sync. it’s nice to see this more easily done, though
Hmorris’s surprising assertion aside, this seems pretty huge, to me. I can’t help wondering if something is missing from this story, as it seems too good to be true.
I assumed this meant streaming music from an iOS device in a remote location, since it isn’t a big deal to be able to listen to music from a local device. Am I missing something (or is the article)?
I’d rather not HAVE to go to the source for that type of contextual information.
Very Cool, but I’ve seen it already how WEST suggested!
Kick Butt
Actually, this doesn’t seem too surprising. You could do a similar thing by connecting an audio cable to the headphone jack and connecting that to your computer or stereo. This is just a much smoother way of doing something that you could basically do already.
It’d be nice if this would work OTA kind of like how you can stream other iTunes libraries of the same network. It would be great to be able to listen to my friend’s music collections any time their ipads or iphones are on my wifi network. Plugging them into iTunes is way too much of a hassle.
I agree with some of the comments. It would be nice to take advantage of this AirPlay the way it should have been implemented. Considering the factor of it being able to do it with the new AppleTV. It should be available accross the board, and not just a plug into iTunes. Who wants to do that.
I am starting my personal weblog to share my photography encounters. Do you locate it challenging or uncomplicated to post consistently?
I was so annoyed beacuse I couldn`t resolve this challenge. Then I observed your site in google and difficulty is solved. Many thanks!
