I have a new iMac and want to move my iPhone contents onto the Mac. It looks like iTunes is no more. I looked into using Finder, but from what I can tell, you can only move content from Mac onto the phone. I will loose a lot of stuff if I do that. I have done search after search and I can only find how to go the direction I don't want to go.
Finally found it...
Transfer files between iPhone and your Mac
Connect iPhone to your Mac.
You can connect using USB, or if you set up Wi-Fi syncing, you can use a Wi-Fi connection.
In the Finder sidebar on your Mac, select your iPhone.
Note: To use the Finder to transfer files, macOS Catalina is required. With earlier versions of macOS, use iTunes to transfer files.
At the top of the Finder window, click Files, then do one of the following:
Transfer from Mac to iPhone: Drag a file or a selection of files from a Finder window onto an app name in the list.
Transfer from iPhone to Mac: Click the disclosure triangle beside an app name to see its files on your iPhone, then drag a file to a Finder window.
To delete a file from iPhone, select it below an app name, press Command-Delete, then click Delete.

I uploaded CDs to iTunes on my old PC. I have a brand new iMac and I want the contents of the phone on my iMac just like it was on my old PC. They tell that you now use Finder to sync everything. Finder only lets you move content from the iMac to the phone, not the other way. It even give you a warning that anything not on iMac will be lost during the sync.
Where am I dragging them from? They are on my phone. I plug my phone into the iMac and there is nothing that shows the content of my phone. If I look in Apple Music, I can see the songs I purchased from the iTunes Store and that’s it. I never thought I would say I miss iTunes.
Did you follow the steps here for Catalina?
Didn't you have to import those audio CDs into iTunes before you uploaded to your iPhone? They should be in the Music app if so.
Yes, it isn’t moving my music that I added through uploading CDs to iTunes. It only shows the music I purchased in the iTunes Store.
I'm not sure about that but you should be able to just drag your CD's to your Mac and put them in the Music folder?
