How do you get playlists and play count from old computers itunes to new one?

I organised my music into around 100 playlists and had songs with 500+ plays on my itunes on my old laptop which broke - but had all files recovered from it on a external hard drive. How do I get old library back on to my new laptops itunes including playlists and play count? Please someone help me!

iPhone 5, Windows 7

Side note - for some tracks it seems that iTunes will not remember the fixed link/ no matter how many times I fix it. It stays fixed for a while then reverts back to broken.


This occurs regardless of whether or not I use iTunes or another utility to fix dead tracks.

Any thoughts?


Select a track with a broken link, press CTRL+I to get info, say no when asked to locate the track and look at the summary tab. Where does iTunes "think" the file should be? Where is it really? There may be a permissions problem that prevents iTunes from moving the file to where it is supposed to go but it "thinks" it moved it anyway, or something else could be going on.
