Q: Move my iTunes songs from external HD

I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with iTunes after your recent crash. Depending on how you had iTunes set up, you should have a couple options available. If you had previously moved your entire iTunes library folder to the external hard drive (both the song files and the iTunes database), it should be as simple as selecting that library in iTunes; you may find these articles helpful:

On the other hand, if you were only storing the song files on your external hard drive, you may need to add them back to iTunes. For more information on how to to this, including on how to do it from the menu command and how to leave the files in their current location, you may find these articles more useful:
