Restoring itunes after a computer crash???

[Bambusa]

Hi. I recently lost all the data on my computer. I have cd's with the backup files from my itunes library. I tried to put them back on my itunes program, but my comp. says it can't find the files. I have no idea what I'm doing. Can anyone help me???

Try using iTunes CDrip feature

EDIT: shouldn't this be in computers and games.

well, isn't the rip feature for music cd's? i have the music files on cd. will it still work?

Umm, open the files in explorer and see if there are any music files in the CD's? I can't exactly tell what the problem is.

To restore backed-up files, insert a backup disc, choose File > Library > "Back Up to Disc," and then click Restore.

Since iTunes won't allow you to backup to a HDD (what's up with that anyway?) I usually just copy the entire iTunes folder (containing the library files and whatnot) when I do backups. If you did, just put it and all the files that goes with it back in the correct place (overwrite the existing ones).

If you didn't. It's a good tip for the future
