Anyone knows how to copy music from iPhone to computer? My system crashed and I lost my iTunes library, but the music is still on my iPhone, how can I retriever the music?

I'm getting the "Safari can't download this file." error; is there some other plugin that we need to have installed before this will work? Perhaps the MobileSafari PXL Manager (which I never got to work for me)?

It works just fine actually. Make sure you have Installer App already on your iPhone and then visit the link on the Safari on your phone. It'll ask you if you want to add him as a source and BAM there he is in your Sources with Installer. Then you have to go into Installer and it's a package you have to install.
