But you may figure out that the songs in your iTunes are all gone. In some situations, you may lose the songs in your Playlists of iTunes when you reinstall iTunes on your new computer. So it is impossible to test the acoustics. What's worse, if you have lost the music in iTunes, the next time you sync iPhone with iTunes, you are probably going to lose the music on your iPhone because iTunes will sync the present content in it with iPhone, which is totally empty. So backups of iPhone are necessary. If you don't have backups, it will be a nightmare. Is there any to copy playlist to iTunes for backup?
