Using the iTunes Store Application to Add Audio and Video to iPhone
You can use the iTunes Store application to download audio content from the iTunes Store directly onto iPhone, where you can play it just like content you’ve moved onto iPhone using iTunes. The next time you sync iPhone, the content you purchase is moved into your iTunes Library so you can enjoy it there, too.
