Just do a search for *.mp4 on your hard drive to find the actual files.  You
can then just specify that folder as the itunes music folder within the
itunes software/settings.  It should re-list them almost instantly.  I
suspect that for some reason your itunes reset the music folder destination.

Not that I use something as proprietry as itunes myself, but I helped
someone move all their songs onto an external hdd a while back so I know
it's a simple setting.

Subject: Re: [LU] [Non-LU] ITunes Help

Would have to check when i get home - but i would think that they are still
there as it would take a long time for the PC to delete that many files -
and surely i'd have noticed.
   
  Still incredibly annoying because even if i find them there and restore
them i'm still going to lose all the ratings and playlists - along with all
the history of how often each song has been played (which being an anal
Accountant type i really like).
   
  Was just praying someone would say that ITunes automatically back itself
up and if you find file Itunes*&*.x*kf then i can recover everything.
   
  It does look like ITunes has been reinstalled from scratch but again
surely the time that takes i'd have noticed

  Have you looked to see if the folder where ITunes thinks the music is
stored actuall has it? Typically this is My Documents\My
Music\iTunes\iTunes Music. In ITunes look under
Edit/Preferences/Advanced.

If the files are on your disk then you will be able to get them back
into ITunes. Before you do anything else back them up. If not then you
will have a tougher job.

Look on the Apple site for the discussion forum.
