If I restore you Iphone to Factory settings will my music disappear?

If I restore my Iphone 4s to factory settings and I use Itunes on my computer, but my music is not on the itunes on my computer but it is only on my IPhone then will my music disappear and I will have to buy it all back?

Yes the music will be gone, but no you wouldn't have to buy it back. Just download it again from iTunes.

If you restore your iPhone to factory settings, it will completely erase all data and music. If you have your music on the computer you are using, you can simply "synchronize" your phone to add music/apps/videos etc.

And since you didn't add the music to your laptop, first sync your iPhone to the computer, -don't back it up- and your iTunes data will be stored.

Question is should i do it? it states it will erase all data and update so i'm not sure if i want to risk it incase it worsens the situation. i've updated itunes and tried again with no luck. Its annoying as i can't sync any cds onto it and it can't update… Is it worth the risk? Or should i just leave it and keep it as it is as i have no other problems with the phone.
