*@#$!

If you were to see me now, my face would be red.

I reloaded the OS (WinXP) on my home machine today. I spent the last couple of days backing up, archiving, and generally making sure that I wasn't going to lose anything I wanted to keep. At the top of this list was my iTunes library.

I went through a great deal of trouble to make sure that got done right. Except for one detail. I did not do a simple backup of the library, so that when I reloaded iTunes, I could point it toward my existing library that's on my external drive. I was under the impression (given the instructions from Apple support) that what I did back up would take care of that.

Apparently, I was wrong.

Now I get to import my library as if it was entirely new. My playlists will be gone. That doth suck to the highest.

*grumble*
