What shoul I do with my phone?

So basically with the new iOS 7 comming out today everyone was eager to get it. So here's my problem. I can't download it. My phone won't let me. It says I need 2.9G of space. Which I only have 300mb. Anyways the thing is I woul download I on my com but it's broken. Like I don't even have a computer anymore. So if I were to get iOS 7 I would have to delete almost all 780 o my songs. So my question here is like would I be able to recover my songs back some how? I mean I have an iTunes account but like since my computer is broken I think I lost my songs. Forever so like what should I do? Can I get songs back one day or what?
Please help me.

Again, you missed the part where he has already deleted his photos, his main worry is songs.

Are they legally purchased songs and albums? If so, you have access to them forever

If not, just bite the bullet and delete them. It's always nice to rediscover music anyway So why not give yourself a fresh start?

You obviously didn't read the part where he doesn't have a working computer....

It's a joke that will be difficult for me to explain.

I can't back it up because like my computer is broken. Since I can upgrade on my phone and I need that memory. Should I just delete my songs? Like is there a way to get them back one day if I have an iCloud account or what not. Or will my songs be forever lost.

That's strange, since I don't think it even took half of the 2.9 gb you mentioned.
Delete whatever apps you're not using. It's backed up on cloud anyways so if you have a giant app like Infinity Blade II you don't have to purchase it again.
