Transfer Purchases ** TO ** iPhone?

I've got over 2,000 mp3's converted from my CD library -- sync'd to my iPhone from my home iTunes library.

I Purchased 2 new albums from iTunes on my work PC, and iTunes wants to ERASE all my mp3s to "sync" my new purchases to my iPhone?

Umm...no thanks...it took hours to sync my mp3s!
I just want to ADD MY OWN DANG PURCHASES! GRRRRR!

Is the only answer to copy all my purchased .m4ps from work to my home iTunes library via some external usb/flash drive??

Pretty **** annoying -- I'm seriously doubting ever purchasing from iTunes ever again!

iTunes content can be transferred to an iPhone from a single iTunes library only - and the same for photos transferred to the iPhone.

Are you unable to purchase from the iTunes store with your home PC?

Personally, I'm not interested in purchasing anything from the iTunes store with a computer that I don't own. I want all my iTunes content - purchases and music imported from a music CD in a single library.

Yes, you can sync the iPhone (or any iPod) to only one iTunes library. You could also copy your purchases to the work computer, however; easier than the other way around. After copying them play one of them on your work computer, to force that computer to be authorized. You will be prompted for the account info they were purchased with.
