How can I save the music files from my iPhone if the PC used to add them no longer exist???

I had some music files in terms of MP3 stored on my PC. I synced these files to my iPhone but the PC hard drive failed and had to be replaced. This caused me to lose all the MP3 files stored on the PC but they are still on the iPhone and i would like to transfer them back to the new PC. However it seems when i stall iTunes and select Sync, to my understanding it seem to be saying the sync process will sync what is on the computer to the phone but it doesn't seem to be the other way around which suggest if i continue with the sync, all the files on the phone will be replaced by what is on the computer which has no files.


is there a way for me to transfer the file from the phone back to the PC without me losing them. I do not have Apple Music, they are individual MP3s

iPhone 6s, iOS 15
