How to add mp3 music files to your iphone 5?

Usually I get it to work all the time. I download my music to mp3 files and just drag it into the music folder on my device and it usually works. Now it won't let me drag the file into the music folder on my iphone 5. I went to go sync my music but a message comes up saying it will delete my entire music and movies if I choose to sync which i don't want to erase all my stuff and have to download it again.

Connect your device with iTunes, add music files to your iTunes play list.click sync.

Add the mp3 file to PC itunes first, then sync as usual you do.

Simply sync it to your cell phone through the latest version of iTunes.
