Add music to iPhone after reinstalling computer

Hello. I'm having a problem adding music to my iPhone. I already synced it with my computer but after reinstalling Windows, iTunes requires me to erase the iPhone and sync everything from scratch. What should I do? I just need to add music to the library without downloading the whole list (306 songs) again.

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.3.1

Your question is not clear. Here is why:


"I just need to add music to the library ...". Which library:

  • Your iTunes library on your computer? That would be done by simply downloading the 306 songs again.
  • Your iPhone? That would be done by having the music in the iTunes library on your computer first, then syncing.
