The other day before I left for NECC, I upgraded my main machine’s iTunes to 4.9 to take advantage of the podcasting features … if you recall, my library got crushed. I got back last night and reimported all my music — minus the playlists, ratings, and play counts. That is a little bothersome, but you do what you do. It is actually giving me a cahnce to sort of “reset” my musical life. I just did my podcast subscriptions and resynced my iPod — yeah that got crushed too. At any rate, other than my little issue, the new iTunes with podcasting is great!
Yeah, the same fricken thing happened to me, and I’m sorta pissed about it because I was constructiong all these playlists (and one was from a party that my friend ‘dj’d from my laptop — now completely lost to me). Why didn’t they have an easy import path for your old library?
