So I'm doing a clean wipe and will need to export/import my iTunes library.

Last time I did this (about 4 years ago when moving from windows to mac) I lost all my song ratings and playcounts. That sucked.

Cut to 4 years later, I now have a ton of apps, books, movies, playlists, and of course ratings/playcounts.

Do I need to do anything other than moving the iTunes folder in my user folder to my external drive, then move it back when I'm done?
Will that retain my iPhone/iPad backups, and apps?

Same with playcount/ratings?
