Synching iPhone to same library on new computer

My iPhone currently has music synced via wire to my old computer.

I have moved my music library to my new computer.

Do I need to remove all my music files from my iPhone before syncing it with my new computer?


What steps should I take?

The first time you sync your iPhone to the new computer, iTunes may erase the music currently on your iPhone and then "recopy" the music from the library on the new computer. (You can only sync the library on your iPhone to one computer's library at a time.). This will happen automatically and you don't need to remove the music from your iPhone manually.
