Do you have an iTunes playlist available?

If so, deselect manually manage music and videos under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences and select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences. Choose selected playlists and select the playlist in the window below that you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.

This is to determine if music can be transferred to your iPhone successfully via syncing.
