Transferring music between devices is a priority for iTunes. Apple's developers created iTunes to organize your iPhone media library and allow syncing between your devices. If you want to transfer music from iPod to iPhone, iTunes can be a nice option. But iTunes is not perfect: it will replace the existing tracks on your iPhone with the songs you select on iPod in the process of syncing.
If you don't mind the music loss on your iPhone, follow the next steps to transfer your iPod music to iPhone:
