iTunes is scaring me, help!
I've just formatted my drive, before that, I copied my itunes library meaning the whole folder (iTunes 4 Musicle library file, itunes music library.xml and the folder itunes Music that has all my artists and their songs all in their respective folders) maybe it wasn't the smart way to do it but there it is.
Now, I can't get these back onto my newly installed iTunes. when i copy and paste the whole thing, it copied the songs, but they don't appear in my itunes once open. what is wrong?
Help me please.

This will add all the tunes to the library *but* you will lose all ratings, playcounts and any other data not stored within the files themselves.
Thanks again
Open iTunes and choose, "consolidate Library" from the Advanced menu. confirm the consolidation, and that should do it. It will find any music files in your account and copy them to the music library. When it's done, check the track list in iTunes and check your Music folder to make sure everything's been copied. Once you're sure it's all copied to your iTunes music library, you can delete the original folder. Always double check!
Thanks.
If you've deleted the two files BounRotto mentioned then you can restart iTunes (should show no files) and drag and drop the iTunes Music folder that contains all your mp3s onto iTunes.
