Play iPhone Music on the PC

Camilo's looking to play the music on his iPhone on his PC... You could run your iPhone as line-in through your PC speakers, or stream your home iTunes to your office over VPN (and cut out the iPhone middleman!) Seting up an iTunes Streaming Server is pretty painless, especially if you use LogMeIn's Hamachi VPN. Orb works great for streaming, too!
