I am going to need to reinstall OS X 10.3 here shortly due to a number

I have approximately $300+ in purchased songs from Apple and
approximately 2800 songs I do NOT want to have to reinstall from the
original CDs. I have an external 300GB drive I can use for backup
(which should not be a problem), however, anyone have any EASY ways to
go about all of this? Thanks.
Even if you're not going to use it, I would do a backup of my entire home
directory before formatting and re-installing.
While we're on this, how do you do this with iPhoto?
due to a number of contortionist efforts to get 10.3 installed on my beige at home I ended up with my home directory on the boot drive with my old home directory on another drive.
iTunes worked just fine (I didn't even have to re-authorize it) by dragging the old iTunes folder to the new directory.
Alas, iPhoto doesn't work this way. If I replace the iPhoto folder with my old one, starting iPhoto just causes it to bounce a couple of times and go away, even if I trash the iPhoto prefs.
I DON'T want to have to go in to each <bleep> folder in iPhot and re-import all my files.
Dragging an iPhoto folder into iPhoto causes a huge mess. A new roll is made for: each roll, each set of thumbnails for the roll, and any altered pictures for each roll.
