12.3.3.17 Update has wiped my music library

Updated to 12.3.3.17 yesterday. Opened iTunes and saw practically all of my library was missing. I did the renaming of the .itl file. This restored all the Album Folders, but not the individual tracks.

Given I have over 4000 tracks, I'm not at all inclined to sitting down and load all my cd collection again.

Any ideas? What about copying from my iPOD to the MAC. I have seen software to do this, but all cost money, anything from $30 to $50.

Please help

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

Good luck with the rebuild. I have three parallel clones of my library and use a folder syncing tool to review and update any changes so I can spot and reverse anything unintentional.

Me too. All playlists but one gone. 12 is nothing but trouble.

I am on a Mac and I still do not understand why in the upgrade my music was wiped out.
