    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.
    The exception is itunes purchases. Authorize/sign into your account on your computer, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases.
    Besides what mentioned above, I like to share you a page reviews about how to transfer iPhone to PC or Mac, which included transferring iphone contents to computer.
    Hope that work you a big favor.

    Senuti offers a 30dy, 1000 track trial, or you could try a slightly older version of Pod To Mac ( link) ... the newest version of PtM has a 10 track trial limit.

    Officially you can only transfer music that you used your iPhone to purchase, from your iPhone to your PC, so you can back it up.
    That said if you use google to search I'm sure you will find a program that will reveal the files on your phone and enable you to transfer - I've never needed to use one so have no recommendations, but it is possible with the right software.

    I've used Senuti trial before and it worked like a charm, great program. Of course, I never needed to buy it as I only needed to do this one time and it was 400 songs. Otherwise I would have bought it without hesitation.
