How can I reinstall iTunes?

Hi all,

I am looking for a way to reinstall iTunes. I recently got a new hard drive and wanted to get my music from my phone onto my computer. After I got it on I realized it was all in my cloud backup. All of my music can be downloaded from there, which I want to do. When I try to play the music already on my computer a message pops up that says the file cannot be located. If I play the few songs I have from the cloud it works. Is there any way I can reinstall iTunes, like it was a new iTunes? In order to get my music off the cloud.

Thank you!

Sounds like you need to rebuild your library, not reinstall iTunes. You can delete the existing iTunes Library.itl file to start afresh. See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
