Iphone to PC music transfer?

I'm pretty sure syncing an iPhone to an empty iTunes library will wipe the iPhone clean - exactly what he doesn't want to do. One of the many, many reasons I abhor iTunes.

Look for a program called TouchCopy from Wide Angle Software, it'll copy songs, videos and photos off an iPod/iPhone with ease.

Bit torrent is your friend, my friend.

Not sure how much the Touch Copy program costs, but it worked great the one time I needed to use it. I have no problem paying for software if it's something I'll use, but most of these little utilities are junk. I don't even remember how many DVD to iPod converters I tried before buying PQ DVD. All the others were complete garbage.
