How to save the music on my iphone?

I'm using a new itunes so I need to sync my iphone with it and if I do I will loose some of my songs because I didn't purchase them all so Is there anyway I can copy the songs some where else?
P.S
Don't answer if your a goodie 2 shoes who's against downloading for free

Were the songs in your old version of iTunes? If yes, then they should have come over to the new version when you upgraded (unless there's something you're not telling us).It doesn't matter where they came from, if you transferred them from your computer to the phone using iTunes, then they were in iTunes, whether they were off CDs, torrents, or anything else.
So, if that's the case, you've got nothing to worry about, you don't need to "save the music" anywhere else.

If they weren't in your old version of iTunes, then how did you get them onto your iPhone?
