I posted earlier and you were helpful to solving one problem. Now I  
have another one & hoping you can help. I'm trying to restore my  
iTunes playlists from my old G4 Mirrordoor to my new MacPro. I know I  
have everything needed--I'm just not sure where it all is and how to  
get it back like it used to be. I had my playlists named and in  
folders like Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, etc., etc. The  
songs are there but I don't have the folder names. Of course I'm now  
using iTunes 7.0 from Tiger 10.4.7. I've got music library files  
called iTunes 4 Music Library, iTunes 4 Music Library (Old), iTunes  
Library, iTunes Music Library.xml, plus an entire separate folder  
called "Previous iTunes Libraries" which has a file called iTunes  
Library 2006-09-17 which may be my best bet since it's the most  
recently dated folder. I know I've loaded you with info and names but  
I sure would like to have my old files back. I might have saved TOO  
MUCH but I wanted to make sure I didn't lose anything. So, I guess my  
main question is how do I get my NAMED folders back like they were.  
By the way, I haven't hooked up my iPod, mainly because I was afraid  
I'd mess up something else but obviously that's where I ultimately  
want the named folders to be available to me.
Thanks in advance for any help.
