I want to restore my phone but don't wanna manually pick all the songs to put back on it when I'm done. Can I easily put my music that's currently on my phone, after the restore?

Why don't you back it up with the music you already have on your phone?

Didn't you have to select the songs in iTunes by checking/unchecking the little box next to them? Won't those selections still be there in iTunes if you restore the phone, or are they device specific? I thought your options were to sync selected songs, playlists, etc. or to sync the whole music library.
 
No I just drag and drop them to iphone when I get a new album or something. I think they're alll checked.

I'm a little confused, you manually manage your music but can't just put it all back on the phone? You can also create a playlist of all your music on the phone, export it, import it back into iTunes, then just drag that over after you've restored the phone.
