How to export music from iPhone to new PC?

I recently purchased a new PC and was unable to transfer the music library from its predecessor. Currently, that library lives on my iPhone. Is there a way to export the music library from my iPhone to a PC? I've tried backing up the phone to the PC and to iCloud but haven't been able to locate said back files.
Keep in mind that plenty of the music is before I had iTunes so they are not purchases through iTunes, I'm sure that will affect this somehow. I don't want to download third-party software to use the phone as an external hard drive, there has to be some way to accomplish this throug iTunes.
Ideas?

Saw that post. Those instructions are out of date for the latest release of iTunes on a PC and do not work as written. Plus those instructions do not indicate where the files are placed on the PC once it backs up.Checking all iTunes folders the music was not backed up to any of those folders.
Other ideas?

    iTunes will transfer your purchases from your iPhone to your new computer by using File>Transfer Purchases. For the rest of the content that’s on your iPhone use a program called TouchCopy which works on Windows and the Mac. It transferred my music, photos, contacts and SMS to my new computer very well.

    How to transfer music from iPhone to new Windows 7 PC?

    Your iPhone is not a backup/storage device. You can transfer music from iPhone to iTunes: go to ~/Music/iTunes in your previous account (I presume you mean that you made a "new account" on your Mac) and copy all its contents to somewhere in your new account (not ~/Music/iTunes). Then drag the entire iTunes folder onto the iTunes app icon.

  • How to transfer music from iPhone to new iMac

    My wife just got an iMac. She has had an iPhone for about a year or so. She wants to transfer the music from her iPhone to the iMac so she can then do new downloads on the iMac and keep it and the iPhone in sync. Photos transferred without problem. Apple says the music cannot be transferred. Any suggestions?

    The iphone syncs one way for music, it is not a storage device.
    The itunes purchased music can be transferred by File>Transfer purchases in itunes.
    The iphone can sync with one itunes library at a time. You need to transfer you old itunes library - from the old computer, to the new imac, then sync.

    That is correct.  the music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The iphone is not a backup device.
    Copy everything from the old computer, or backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.

  • How to sync music from iPhone to new MacBook pro

    Hi everyone I just got my first Mac computer so please excuse my ignorance. I have an iPhone that has a ton of music on it most of it from the iTunes Store but some songs are from CD's from people. I am a dance teacher so a good chunk of my music is not bought from iTunes. I need to sync the music from my iPhone to iTunes on my computer. Can someone please give me step by step directions on how to do this so I won't lose all the music that was not from iTunes. I also do not want the sync to erase the music from my iPhone because I need it for the gym. Thanks so much the help is so appreciated!

    Any music you purchased from iTunes can be transferred, the rest will have to be imported to the MBP from the prior source.  Examine this discussion:

  • How to sync music from iPhone onto new computer

    I had my iPhone synced to my old computer. I connected it to my new computer and it won't allow me to put any of my old music onto iTunes without deleting it all first. How can I keep my old music and put it onto my new iTunes?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • HT1373 how to synch music from iphone to new computer

    I just bought a new computer and want to synch all the information from my iPhone to the new computer.  I have authorized the computer but when I try to synch, it erases all my music.

    That is correct.  The iphone is not a backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
    Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content.
    You need to copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

    iOS devices are not and have never been backup devices.
    Move the content from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.
    Hopefully this clumsy friend either paid for or at the very least contributed to the replacement cost of the new computer.
    If for some silly reason you have failed to maintain a backup, downloading past purchases from iTunes.
