I use a large local music colelction too and it's much easier to get your music to a new phone: - Get an iPhone that has enough storage to store your entire music collection. Sicne mine is lossless that phone doesn't exist, but luckily iTuens has an option to transcode to a lossy format on the fly before syncing to your iPhone. - Alternatively and if storage is a concern, just put everything you'd like to sync in a playlist and only sync this palylist. There's really no need to write everything down.
