Computer crashed, need to save my music

Hello:


My computer hard drive crashed yesterday. I recently ripped the majority of my 500+ cd collection to iTunes. I also searched and uploaded album art for albums that iTunes could not find the art for. All the songs and uploaded artwork are displayed on my iPhone and iPad.


if I download iTunes on the new computer will all my music and hopefully artwork transfer over? I’ve read online that only store purchases will transfer over and that I have to use a 3rd party software which I’d rather not do.


if not, please recommend a 3rd party software.


Thanks,

David
