Upgrade Iphone Firmware and Lose Music?

My fiancee has the iPhone 3G with 2.0.0 firmware. If we upgrade it to 2.0.1 I believe it'll wipe all the music from the phone, right?
The problem is that she didn't sync her collection - there's far more on her computer than she wanted on the phone, so she just dragged and dropped the albums and songs she wanted. Therefore, I guess there's nothing for iTunes to auto-sync back to the phone after the upgrade.
Is there any way to add all the songs that are already on the phone to a playlist and then set that to sync after the upgrade?
"Add all songs" within the iPod on the phone doesn't seem to work and I think would only add it to the On The Go list anyway?

When you say she just dragged and dropped the music she needed though are you aware the default for the iPhone is for it not to sync all your music and for you to specify what you do and don't want sync'd? When you connect the iPhone and the iPhone screen appears in iTunes you can click the Music tab and then specify which albums you want it to sync. Might be a bit easier than manually managing the music (though I may have misunderstood what you were saying and this is what you are doing already).
I'll investigate your method though. As far as I was aware, the backup when you update is everything except music as in theory it's all on your computer anyway...
