That is true. I am sorry to say you can have only one sync from a Mac/PC.
When you sync music to your iPhone from your PC/Mac, it creates a connection between your devices, allowing you to enjoy your favorite tunes on the go. However, there's an essential aspect to keep in mind: the synchronization process. The previous music you've synced to your iPhone from your PC/Mac will remain intact if you perform the new sync with all the old songs included. In other words, the new sync will build upon the existing library, ensuring that your cherished playlists, albums, and tracks continue to be accessible on your iPhone.
On the contrary, if you choose not to include all the old songs during the synchronization of new music, there's a risk of losing the previously synced content. The new sync might overwrite your existing music library, resulting in the removal of any songs not included in the latest sync. This could lead to the unfortunate loss of favorite songs, personalized playlists, and carefully curated collections.
To prevent accidental loss of your music, it's essential to exercise caution during the syncing process. Double-check your syncing preferences and ensure that the "Add to Library" or "Include in Sync" options are appropriately selected to maintain your existing music library while adding new songs. Additionally, backing up your music library on both your PC/Mac and iPhone before performing any sync operations can offer an extra layer of protection and peace of mind.
With the proper care and attention, you can continue to enjoy the harmonious union between your PC/Mac and iPhone, with all your cherished melodies in perfect sync. Keep the rhythm alive, and let the music accompany you on every step of your journey.
