So, I opened iTunes and ALL MY MUSIC WAS GONE. I panicked and then decided to import my iTunes library file. It's from like, 6 months ago. So I've decided to delete all the music and re-consolidate my library. But I am distraught. All my playlists? Gone. MY PLAY COUNTS? GONE. I am very, very upset. (There are 4 temp files in the iTunes folder? Except they won't open with iTunes? I DON'T KNOW I AM DISTRESSED.) Also, for whatever reason, it looks like an older version of the player?

Also, I nearly fell asleep during Af. lit. Again. Although to be honest, it was because the lights were down low. I have Modernism later on Djuna Barne's Nightwood which is the oddest little book ever. Right now I have to read Ulysses because I'm horribly behind. BUT I LOST MY PLAY COUNTS. Damn them all. !

That happened to me a while back. Everything just went. It was something to do with the library file being corrupted, I think. Since then I've backed it all up weekly, just in case. But it was so annoying - all my ratings, play counts, playlists, everything! So believe me when I say, I feel your pain. Damn iTunes.

Alas, I found out the hard way, obvs. Except then I'd have to use Windows Media Player which isn't as anal retentive as I am.

i'm oldskool, got an old version of winamp that doesn't fuck with the registry and can be loaded from anywhere, and it suits me just fine :)

Niiice. I'll have to check that out.

I mean, my music is still there but I have none of my data. So.

you're lucky then, i heard tales of people who lost actual files!

No, no, I HAVE music - all of it. It just disappeared from the iTunes player.

WMP = spawn of devil. It doesn't organise, it doesn't keep accurate play counts, it randomly misplaces music or duplicates tracks.... :P
