How Do I Manage Songs on iTunes, iMac, iPhone?!

I cannot imagine life without my iPhone. Ever. ;)

Then, last year I made the leap from PC to Mac - treated myself to a MacBook and a monster iMac. (I still use my PCs too as I'm "ambidextrous!")

My big challenge now is how to manage the songs I buy on iTunes on my various computers and on my iPhone.

I understand Apple only allows us to have (is it 3?) limited computers with iTunes.

So now, I'm stuck and would love some help:

  1. I bought a bunch of songs directly on my iPhone - how do I get them onto my iMac (iTunes) now? Is there a master list somewhere in the great Apple sky of all the songs we buy on iTunes? My "Purchased" list on my iMac doesn't include the songs I bought on my iPhone... which is why I'm trying to add them. lol! I've been doing the sync process, but the songs on my iPhone don't seem to want to move onto my iMac.
  2. I want to make a publically shareable playlist in iTunes of the songs I bought on my iPhone... but I don't think I can do this without getting the sync to work, right?
  3. And, how do I make my own playlists on my iPod (iPhone) with songs I bought on the iPhone?

If you're a Mac/Apple/iTunes/iPhone wizard - please do shed some light!!!
