corvideyeOkay, ye tech-savvy, I need your help... I had a series of unexplained computer crashes today, after which I went to re-open iTunes... it took a weirdly long time to load and put up a progress window saying it was opening iTunes library.xml... This took a very, very long time, and fearing it was all going to freeze again, I foolishly clicked the button to "stop"... thereupon iTunes opened, a whole bunch of music is missing, and all of my many many playlists are gone... Is there any way to restore this?? In the music library folder I see "previous music libraries", the most recent from two months ago... would that include playlists, or would I just lose whatever music I had added since then? (Which still might be worth it, since a lot seems to be missing.) Also on Apple support I see this... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 "How to recreate your iTunes library"
Should I do this? Right now I'm afraid to mess with it. Halp!
ETA: okay, the music at least is still in the "itunes music" folder, I'm just not sure how to get it back into the program, and again, don't want to mess with it till I get advice.
