How to backup iPhone music to iTunes?

Unless you purchased all songs form the iTunes Store, chances are that by now you are tearing your hair out trying to restore the CD songs you collected over the years back to your new empty iTunes library. If you have an iPhone, iPod or even an iPad containing some or all of your songs, you might be spared.

Restoring your iPhone music and playlists to an empty iTunes library is not difficult at all provided you know how to do it. It is surprisingly easy to bring your library back to its previous glory after a PC crash or after changing PCs. Learn more by following the steps below.

TIP: Your iPhone songs are matched with the contents of the iTunes library on the PC and are automatically selected for backup. A green arrow icon next to the track means the track is selected for backup. A check-mark means the track already exists in iTunes and won't be transferred to avoid duplication. A circular icon means that the track in iTunes will be updated. Most commonly this will update the track artwork.
