Hey guys,
First off, thanks for taking some time to read this, it's a quick question and I'm hoping I just transferred everything incorrectly and this'll be a quick fix.
Long story short, I copied everything in my Music folder to an external hard drive, installed Lion (from Snow Leopard), erased my hard drive, and started fresh.
I pulled my Music folder from the external hard drive, which contains everything from my Snow Leopard install, and opened everything in iTunes.
The only problem is - my song play counts and ratings (as well as playlists) have disappeared. Hrm.
I have a picture of everything that's in my iTunes folder after reinstalling Lion. I didn't have time to screenshot it, I just took a picture with my phone, so I apologize about the quality. It's below:

Now, I assume all my play count and ratings data is in here somewhere, in what order do I need to open things to have all of that reappear? I know that the .xml file should contain some of that, but do I need to open that first? Do I need to do the [option click] and choose the Library for all this data to import?
Thanks so much for the help!
