Yesterday I formatted my Mac and I've re-imported all my iTunes content, and I planned on just replacing the new iTunes library database and XML files with the old ones to keep all my play count and ratings info.

The problem is that iTunes 9 reorganises media differently to previous versions. Because I had previously installed iTunes 9 over older versions, my media was organised in [home]/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music - now that I've installed iTunes 9 fresh, my media is organised in [home]/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/[subfolder] (subfolder being Music, TV Shows, ect.). So my old database files are pointing towards a directory that doesn't exist.

So long story short, is there an app/script/method that allows me to import my old database info into my new database? Thanks guys :)
