I saw a few post with people asking how to downgrade iTunes 10. I made a new thread to simplify it (so people don't have to read pages on how to do it).

It is easy and YES, YOU CAN RESTORE YOUR LIBRARY :).


1 - Delete:
-iTunes.app (located in Applications)
-com.apple.iTunes.plist (which is located in USER/Library/Preferences)
-iTunes Library (located in USER/Music/iTunes)

2 - Download iTunes 9.2.1 and install it.

3 - Go to USER/Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries and copy the latest saved Library (check date before updating to iTunes 10) to:
USER/Music/iTunes and overwrite the iTunes Library (you have to remove the date from the previous Library)

Enjoy
 
Hey,

Having seen this, I wanted to know something. Will I lose everything I did in iTunes 10 if I do the above?

I must have done a fair bit of organisation and added several songs since then. I hate iTunes 10, but I'd rather not undo all the work I've done on my library since I got it.
 
I believe you'll lose because the previous iTunes libraries are (like the name implies) previous backups.
