Sync Music to iPhone

Something you should know:

● iTunes requires you to pair your computer with your iPhone, that's to say, you can't sync music from different iTunes libraries to the same iPhone.
● iTunes moves the music to your iPhone by syncing which means that it will make the iPhone data keep the same with iTunes library. In other words, the existing media files like music, movies, TV shows, etc. that are not existing in iTunes will be deleted and replaced by the synced items. You'd be careful when syncing to avoid data loss. Or you may refer to Way 1 in Part 2 to get a no-data-loss way.
