hey, i did the itunes thing, and it worked until i tried to play all the songs, then in which it said for every song that the original file could not be found. so the songs show up on itunes, but are not being able to play. do you know what else could fix that? thanks for all the help!

Well what you've just told me confirms you did it right, actually haha. Okay, what you want to do is find the file that you dragged all your music into. Then open the folder. Then with that folder open, also open "my computer" and find My music>iTunes>iTunes Music. Then open iTunes and highlight your whole library, and delete it. The songs will all disappear, but don't worry you didn't delete them. Then go back to the original file you had with your music imported from the iPod, highlight all those files and drag them into the iTunes music window. Then in iTunes click file, add folder to library, then go into
My music>iTunes>iTunes Music and select the iTunes music file. Then click ok. WHEW!
You no longer need that empty folder on your desktop, everything should just be in your library and iTunes will work the normal way from now on.
