    Actually, I from an article that said:  move iTunes Library.xml to desktop and then Trash the iTunes Library.itl, then in ITunes drop down file to import playlist, click on the desktop iTune Library.xml file for import. After that both new Library files show up in the Itunes folder and the world is right.  This happened to a friend who is a musician, singer, and song writer( Just won Best songwriter in Portland, OR) She was very up set at not getting to all her. She is all smiles now many years ago I steered her to MACs for her LapTop.

    Thanks for your reponse, I hope this did not lose you points.  I passed it along to her and she said a freind needed it also.
