Syncing to multiple computers

I have a 3G iPhone and wish to sync to multiple computers. Basically I'd like to be able to upload music from friend's computers onto my phone. Is this possible?

I apologize if this topic has already been covered, but didn't find anything searching.

+rep for help!

Yes. Have your friend authorize the iPhone from their machine, and select whichever playlists you'd like to sync. Make sure you set iTunes to manually manage music for the iPhone.

Every time you sync with another computer it wipes all other data off the phone.

The only way you can get your friends music from their computer is if there is a disc mode on the phone, then put the files on your computer and sync from there.

(note: Im pretty sure iphones dont have disc modes however.)

I have a way to be able to drag and drop files from any pc or mac to your iphone, it's a bit complicated to the not so computer savvy person... I can explain in further detail if you guy's run into any issues!
