Its a 16gb 1.1.3 unlocked and jailbroken by ZiPhone and im on windows XP

Also it reads my iphone as a camera, and shows up in that category when i check My Computer

lol. i wonder why iphone doesn't come with a basic getting started manual.

you have to create a playlist and drag the songs on to the playlist. then you sync the playlist to your phone

The phone does come with a manual. Why dont you try selecting the iPhone, then in the main portion of iTunes selecting the music tab, and telling it what music to sync.

Take a minute and try and figure stuff out before you just go opening new threads and cluttering the forums.

...and before we get the inevitable "My iPhone didn't come with a manual" post...

http://www.apple.com/iphone -- find the manual, and read it.

Otherwise, there are many, many other RTFM types of questions you'll likely ask in the future. And you'll get the same responses.

Not sure of the question, but I believe the answer is yes. You have to check the the boxes of the songs you want synced to your iPhone.

This is main reason I hated the iPhone with when I first got it.

I have multiple computers and multiple iPods along with the iPhone. I just like to individualized my music collections and manage it myself. I just wanted to drag the songs straight into the iPhone music instead of Apple forcing me to put it into my music library within iTunes

I do not need my hands held with music management. I hate having everything autosync. I do not like having to keep a library of music in order for iTunes to Sync music with my phones. (yeah yeah I know I could have just unchecked my individual playlists to take songs out of the iPhone)

I was a much happier campier when Apple finally enabled the manual management feature for the iPhone in iTunes I like it was starting with 7.5 and later
