[iTunes] more problems with iTunes

[David Delmonte]

I don't know Windows very  well. but look for the actual music files.  
If they are there, you can start iTunes - even though it's empty and  
re-import all your songs - through "add to library". You wont have  
your playlists but you will have your music back.

You can easily create smartplaylists by artist, album, genre, etc.

Finally, as Ken said, with multi media and personal stuff, you have to  
have backups. In fact, I have two copies of backups on two separate  
external drives.

I was afraid of that.  Whenever you quit iTunes it saves the playlist
to that file.  You must have quit iTunes after you saw it was blank.

I think XP has a restore system feature.  Why not try restoring the  
computer
to the last point before your iTunes freeze.  If I am wrong about the  
restore
function I hope you have a recent backup.  If not, you may be out of  
luck.

I never used to back up my files and lost a hard drive one day.  One  
sad fact
is that everyone will have a hard drive fail sooner or later.  Its a  
sad day,
if you don't have a backup.
