Actually guys this is working just great. Here is a link to a tutorial I just made on how I did it:

Hope this helps someone out!

I can't remember the full address as its a google open source repository but here's an article, http://www.sipedia.co.uk/mac/ipodwifistream.php, about a Telekinesis app that lets you steam video to ipod touch and have full ipod control as if it were saved on the ipod

Thanks for sharing about it, Erica. I was going to check it out when I had time, but now I think I'll wait a few months to see if they improve the reliability a little.

Jay, you want Firefly Media Server which is already in the Installer.app repositories.

@webbuy, we're sorry you encountered playback errors. If you, or anyone else who runs into a problem, could send us an email at support at simplifymedia, we'd appreciate the opportunity to discover the cause and get it resolved.

@darcagn, we agree; without playlists, navigating a large library is a challenge. Your suggestions are excellent, and they are the types of things we will be working on.

Jay, I don't know if you realized, but your iphone actually has built-in speakers :p

Seriously though, I've been using simplify media to listen to my home library at work already. And like everyone else has mentioned, installation was about as simple as could be. Didn't take more than 2 compared to your 20.

You might want to update the post to say the commenters' installation experience was better so as not to mislead everyone.

It was pretty simple to install, but some issues:

1) Cannot use EDGE. If I need WiFi, it's useless to me. Most of the time I listen to my iPod when I'm on campus, and the iPhone cannot connect to 802.11x-auth networks.
2) Cannot browse by artist or album; can only view by song name; doesn't exclude the, a, and an from alphabetization. I have 13,000+ songs. It's absolutely unusable.
3) Doesn't let you set custom stream settings. I would, for example, be willing to sacrifice stereo sound for higher quality, some might not.
4) The interface sucks. It would be great if it integrated with your iTunes library, displayed album art, and in general had an interface exactly like the iPhone's "iPod" application.

Yes, I understand this is an alpha version, but I just wanted to point my opinions out. I'm looking very forward to this. My library is too big for all iPods except the largest currently offered, so I have been praying for an application like this and I can't wait until it's in a usable form.

What about the other way around: streaming music from my iPhone to iTunes/wifi? So I can play music at my friend's house without carrying a headphone adapter to get a mini jack into the %*&'n beveled headphone jack?

Remote Buddy can control iTunes and AirPort Express without a jailbreak:
