DjMagra’s stuff ‘n’ stuff

Fired up the laptop this morning, loaded up iTunes ready to play my Saturday morning playlist…and it was empty. Not just the playlist, but, iTunes itself had managed to loose my entire music library. Queue panic and a thumping heart as I quickly went looking into my music folder to see if it was just the library that had messed up, or if my music files had somehow managed to disappear themselves.

Thankfully, the music files were still there, so, obviously it was just a problem with the library. Off to the iTunes folder with me to see where my library was, and no sign, other than an 11k file with no information that had just been created. Also, no sign of a backup folder anywhere. I also haven’t backed up my HD in a few weeks (I know, I know!), so anything I had would have been old and out of date.

BUT, I did spot two tmp files there, which I though was promising. Renamed these as the iTunes music library files, reloaded iTunes, and bang, panic over, and back to music happiness!
