Q: I had to reinstall itunes and I lost over 1000 of my songs. How do I get them back?

Hello DHolland1

You can do one of two things, first is to locate the songs on your computer by looking in the iTunes Folder. Once found then drag and drop them on top of iTunes to import them in. The second option is to revert back to a previous version of your iTunes library to get the data back before you installed. The articles below will assist with those steps.
