Having trouble with syncing music

I have music on my iTunes on my Dell PC that I want to put on my iPhone, but when I try to, it says that the iPhone is synced with another iTunes library on my PC and that an iPhone can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time (I only have one iTunes library), so I will have to erase all my content on my iPhone so that the content can be synced. I don't want to erase the content on my iPhone. Do you have any idea how I can get the songs from my computer to my iPhone without erasing the content?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4.1, null

If that is the only iTunes library that you have ever synced with, there should not be an issue. If you backup the phone first and all of your content is already in this iTunes library, even if the phone is erased, you can restore the backup and sync all of your content back again.

But, this still begs the question, is this really the only iTunes library and the only computer that you have ever synced with? That's different than saying that you only have one iTunes library.

If my idea doesn't appeal to you, you could try this. If you are using Apple Music or iTunes Match, this will not work.
