It is working AMAZINGLY well for me so far. Album Art loads, songs load in no time (hardly any waiting for it to buffer - maybe 2 secs max). Even has artist info and lyrics as well :)

Absolutely STUNNING. Now all we need is video support, but even if its just audio, I'm happy as a clam.

The previously jailbreak-only Simplify Media has just hit the iTunes App Store, allowing you to stream your entire iTunes music library (plus up to 30 of your friends') to your iPhone. The official app has all the features of the old version, including album art, lyrics and artist bios, plus works over EDGE, 3G and Wi-FI. It's free for the first 100k downloaders, so we can't think of any reason why you wouldn't want to use this seeing as it gives your phone an essentially unlimited amount of storage space

The desktop software works on Mac, Windows & Linux

Sweet! I downloaded the app on my 2G iPhone and downloaded the PC app to stream my iTunes library. How long did it take for your library to get scanned though? Mine's going on for about half an hour. I wish there was a progress meter so I know it's actually scanning.

Maybe I should try again. Shouldn't take this long on my PC. It's still says scanning for me.

So does this stream on EDGE decently? I haven't had a chance to play with it yet.

Haven't had a chance to play with edge yet, but I imagine it should do ok.

I tried at in 3 places so far, they all worked great; Home Wifi, Firehouse Subs Wifi, and 3G.

I was thinking... Wouldn't it be funny if the RIAA wrote this app to catch arrrrr... pirates!

Well, I think since nothing can be technically downloaded and saved (it can only be streamed), there shouldn't be an issue

So far I am liking it, but for some reason I can't seem to get it to find all of my files in library. It currently has found 1,084 files out of 1524 total. Anyone else having this problem?

Give it time. Mine shows a low number right after the computer boots, but within 10 minutes they are all there. Not sure if it rescans each time or what.
