How do I transfer music from my iPhone to my new MacBook without erasing everything off my iPhone?

All that seems available is to 'sync' my new and empty iTunes library to my phone, which is not what I want.  How can it be this difficult to get my music purchased from iTunes and under the same apple account which my MacBook runs onto the new MacBook?

Furthe question to this one: Don't want to synch, simply want to transfer new music in iTunes to my iPhone.  Reason I don't want to synch, I burned some of my CDs in iTunes (i.e., didn't buy them through iTunes which iTunes/Apple doesn't seem to like at all) so don't want to lose everything I burned which is what synching appears to do.  So I was hoping for a simple drag and drop from iTunes to iPhone or similar.  Thank you.

    I have recently purchased a new MacBook Pro Ret and I cant work out how to transfer music from my Nano to the Mac

    You need to make the new Mac iTunes library your syncing library. iTunes on the Mac sees your iPad as a new device because you have never synced with this computer before. You can make the Mac your syncing computer by following the instructions in this user tip. You will be able to transfer the purchased music on the iPad into iTunes when you follow this procedure.

    What should be done, is to copy your entire iTunes folder from
    your old computer to your new one, then open iTunes holding down
    the shift key.   You will get prompted to create new or open existing,
    select existing and navigate to the iTunes folder and select the
    "iTunes Library.itl" file.
    To find were the iTunes folder is:

    After doing this, you "should" be able to sync normally.
    If you never previously synced to iTunes, then it could be problematic.

    If this is music purchased through the iTunes Music Store, you would need to transfer the music to your computer using iTunes then transfer to the non-apple device according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    Purchased iTunes content can be re-downloaded for free, directly to the device, as long as you use the samme Apple ID that was used to originally purchase the content. Either that, or you sync it to the phone using iTunes. You can also use iTunes Match.
