New PC with library on external drive--no playlists or ratings?
My previous Win8.1 PC finally died after six years (power supply, I suspect, but it could have been more)--so I picked up a new 8.1 Dell. I had previous been using an external drive as the library for iTunes. Upon firing up iTunes, it did recognize the drive and added the music automatically. Curiously, I had to manually add books, podcasts, and movies. However, all my playlists and song ratings are gone. I could theoretically extract the C drive from my old PC, but I'm wondering if there's some other way to retrieve them. Any ideas? Thanks...
