Well a little more info is needed, like how much space does your iPhone have and how many songs do you want on it?

Are you sure you have an 8gb iPhone 5? The iPhone 5 came in 16, 32, and 64gb versions.
With only 2.6gb you'll likely be unable to put all the songs you want on your phone. You may want to consider deleting some items to make more room. Also, it's not recommended that you fill the storage completely as that can cause issues.

I meant to say that you'd be UNLIKELY to be able to add all the songs you want to your iPhone.

Here's a suggestion, instead of trying to get all of your music on your phone, why not just set up a smart playlist and have it put some of your music on your phone. Then each time you sync your phone to iTunes, it will swap out the recently played songs for song you haven't heard. This is what I do with mine because I have a vast collection of music that won't all fit on my phone and I have 32 GB on my phone! Here's my smart playlist:

Ack... Tapatalk on this Win 8.1 PC isn't like the iOS version at all! Oh well...
What I was going to say in my previous post was that you don't have to have all those filters for Genre's. At minimum all you'd need would be the "Media Kind is Music" filter. Where the cycling of songs comes from is the line that says "Limit to [x] [items] selected by [least recently played]. The places enclosed with the square braces are options that you can adjust to your liking, but to get the music to change at each sync this is what you need. Just replace the x with the number of songs you want synced. 90 songs would roughly be about 6 hours of uninterrupted music and would only use around 700 MB.
If you want a more random playlist, you could do it this way instead:
