So you currently you have songs ripped from your CDs on your iPhone (synced onto your iPhone from your old laptop) and you want to transfer them to your new laptop?
Are your old laptop and new laptop both from Apple? If so, you could easily
Airdrop the original music files from the old laptop to the new laptop. I'm going to assume you still have access to your old laptop, and that the music files you wish to transfer still reside on it. Once you've transfered the music files (*.mp3, *.m4a, etc) to the new laptop, then you must IMPORT these into iTunes on your new laptop (this step is crucial), and then perform a simple sync with your iPhone (make sure the music you want to transfer is checked (ticked), whether by Artist, Album, or Playlist. FYI,
follow this link to see a detailed explanation of where your music files are located on your HD. You'll get a list of the music files' locations for OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
Airdrop is built into OS X. One caveat: Airdrop is only available to Late-2008+ machines,
follow this link for the complete list of machines that support it. It's a piece of cake to use. Feel free to ask me if you need guidance with this method.
If your old laptop and new laptop are not both from Apple, then you could give this utility a shot.

I haven't personally used it so I can't provide specific instructions. The "full version" is $30. You can get it free through TrialPay
by following this link, though I cannot guarantee that this "free" version will not come without limitations.
Hope this helps!
