how to import recovered files from an external hard drive
My hard drive crashed. I got a new one and of course lost my itunes. I had the recovered data put on an external hard drive. How do I re import my data back into Itunes?

Hello David,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
If you have the entire iTunes library folder on that recovered drive, you can copy it to your new computer and use this article to choose that iTunes library that you just copied to the new computer.

Otherwise, you would need to use the Add File to Library function.
