[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1069459, member: 45350"] Your playlists etc are probably gone unless you have a backup to restore from, which I gather you don't. But the good news is your music is probably still in your machine. In Finder look for the folders that represent the individual CD uploads (don't have my MBP in front of me to give you explicit directions on where) and then drag them into iTunes. Or, you can double click on songs and they will play and load into iTunes Library. Will take some time but you should be able to reload everything. Before I did that I would double check that there isn't an iTunes Menu choice to search your HD for music files as this would be much quicker. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
