Sync iphone with new itunes without losing music

Hi All,


Unfortunately, i had to install itunes on a new laptop hence losing all music and playlist. As am syncing my iphone with the newly installed itunes, latter is asking to remove and erase all previous music and playlist which i don't want. How can i transfer the music and playlist from my iphone to newly install itunes hence lot losing everything when syncing.

Thanks to reply.

If this music was purchased from iTunes, I believe that you should be able to transfer the songs and playlist into the new iTunes library.

If the music was imported from CD's, you will need a third party app. Something like this....
