Want to hear Pandora through my computer speakers

[wolfwill23]

OK, there may be a very easy fix for this, but I couldn't find it. Here is what I want to do - listen to Pandora (and other iPhone media) through my computer speakers. I want to charge my iPhone, sync my iPhone and send my iPhone's audio signal to my computer all via one device or cable. Is this possible? If so, how? Do I need to buy a speaker system? Can I do it with the (missing) dock for the iPhone 3G?

Thanks.

For Pandora: pandora.com

For all other audio, buy an auxiliary cable, and plug it into your speakers input port.

Wow. Just......wow.

Ok...just reread the post. You can't send to your computer's built in speakers. Pandora do thru pandora.com. Other media you will need external speakers and a connection cable.

Yes, it is possible. I've seen Steve Jobs do it in his key notes. It also has a video output for the screen. I just dunno how to do it.

If your iPhone is set to manually manage music, you should be able to play the music on it through iTunes -- click on the little arrow next to the iPhone icon in iTunes, and you should get a drop down list of all the music on your iPhone. (At least this works withall iPod models, I haven't got an actual iPhone to try this on. Also, I've never tried to play videos on an iPod this way, but I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't play.)

If your iPhone syncs with your iTunes, then all your music / videos are on your iTunes, you can play them directly on your computer.

If you want to hear any other sounds, just get a regular speaker cable that plugs into the headphone jack, and hook it up to some speakers.

I'm sure the tech and iPhones Apple is using for presentations are the same stuff we have available. Just saying.

i do not think that this works, whenever i tried that in the past, it brings up a new iTunes window of just the songs on the device, and you cant exactly play them or anything, there kinda like greyed out

The video is a different story, however, this is just ANALOG AUDIO. It's not some special thing, all you need is a $2 universal cable....

Like I said, I haven't tried this on the iPhone, but on other iPods, like the iPod Classic and the Nano, the songs are only greyed out when the iPod is set to sync with a computer. If you set them to manually manage music, the songs aren't greyed out, and you can play the music on the iPod through iTunes. Oh, btw, when an iPod is set to manually manage music, you can bypass the iTunes library and drag mp3 files directly from your computer onto the iPod, and the music is copied onto the iPod without going into your iTunes library. I have a friend who doesn't like iTunes for playing music on his computer, he uses winamp, and he used to get irritated because whenever he wanted to transfer songs to his iPod Classic, iTunes would take a long time to import the songs into its library. But once he started dragging them directly to his iPod, he didn't have to wait for the import process, and the songs transfer much more quickly.

sounds like a good idea in theory but dont know if it can be done
