Q: If I move my iTunes library so that I can restore my computer, will I still have all my play counts and ratings?

If I move my iTunes library so that I can restore my computer, will I still have all my play counts and ratings?  This is very important to me, and I would like to hear from someone who has done it.  I am planning on doing a complete restore of my computer, but would like to keep my iTunes Library play count and ratings information.  Please let me know if I should follow Apple's instructions, or if there is something else I should do. 

Will my play counts and ratings transfer is I follow these Apple instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 .  Any input into this from someone who has done it would be most helpful and appreciated.
