App. to play iPod through comp. speakers?

[mr wrong]

Is there such an application that will allow me to plug my iPod into my laptop, or any computer, and play it's contents over the laptop's speakers? I use my laptop at work alot, and headphones are not an option, and it would be nice not to have to lug around a set of speakers.

You can set the iPod to "manually manage music". This will allow you to play the music through the laptop speakers using iTunes.
OR
You can use 3rd party software like SharePod or YamiPod (which are free).

Do these programs run on your Ipod, or on the computer? I am hesitant to install anything on my Ipod.
