iPhone - Manually manage music, new computer?

Question

So, I just got a new computer, installed the latest version of iTunes, plug in my iPhone and want to manually add a couple of songs.

In order to do that, I have to select the "manually manage music and videos" option in iTunes, otherwise, I can't drag and drop songs into my iPhone.

However, in order to do that, iTunes seems to REQUIRE me to wipe all current songs on my iPhone before I can enable the option to manually manage music.

Is there any way around this?

Thanks.

First off, why aren't your songs saved somewhere else, like on CDR?

Second, how do you know you'll be erased?  Describe what will happen.  I connect my iPod to 2 computers almost every day and have never gotten erased.

An iphone can be synced with only one iTunes account at a time. once you switched to a new iTunes account or a new computer. You have to authorize your iphone to it at first, then you can upload music and video from iphone to computer. you can refer to this guide that helped me before for how to transfer files from iphone to computer

Hope this helps.

In case your gadget is jailbroken that you would be able to download swaptunes instead of that I don't know. Theres this nifty thing referred to as Google. It allows for you to search for things and to find solutions to the whole lot :)
