After a long bleak time, today I _finally_ got my main storage disk back from the shop. It has all my photos, music, documents...the real heart of my data.
Of course, iTunes is now completely haywire. I'd kept the iTunes library stuff on C:, which did NOT change...but apparently iTunes got opened while the data was gone and things are pretty much blanked out now.
The original MP3 files are in 2 different places...one folder of Limewire downloads, and another of rips from my own CDs.
So...how can I get my songs back into iTunes, without having to manually hunt down all these thousands of songs one at a #%$^$& time?
