Simplify Media for iPhone →
This is one of the worst software names I’ve seen in a while (it’s just boring), but the software itself is a goddamn revelation for me. It allows you to stream your iTunes (or Winamp or Rythmbox) collection directly to your iPhone, no matter where you are as long as you have connectivity (cell network or WiFi).

“312. Don’t rush. No coffee until you’re 16.”
