    I recently did a clean install of Windows and I backed up my iTunes library. Unfortunately, when I browse it in iTunes, the files come up missing. I named my profile the same thing as before, so I figured the files would still be in the same relative location.

    Any ideas as to what I could do to get the missing files taken care of? I would really like to keep my EQ Presets and Playcounts.

    Thanks.

    from itunes...

    file > add folder to library > browse to the root folder of your mp3s

    this will load the files into itunes, whether it will restore your eq presents / playcounts, i don't know
