iTunes question?

Question

I recently cleared my music library on iTunes (I know, stupid move) and lost all the songs that I had uploaded and bought from iTunes. I know that I have to reupload the songs from my CDs but is there a way to redownload the songs I purchased from iTunes without paying for them again? When I look up my history, I see the songs I purchased but I don't see any way to access them.

Answer 1

Try to recover iTunes from your music library on your computer first :

How to recreate your iTunes Library
Learn how to recreate your iTunes library and playlists in iTunes versions 3 and later.

ecreating the iTunes Library file
Follow these steps:
Quit iTunes.
Locate your iTunes folder.
For Mac OS X the iTunes folder is stored in one of the following locations:

/Users/username/Music
/Users/username/Documents

Note: You may need to check both locations.

For Microsoft Windows the iTunes folder is stored in
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\

Open your iTunes folder.
Drag the iTunes Music Library.xml to the Desktop
Drag the following file from your iTunes folder to the Trash:

Mac OS X: "iTunes Library" (in versions of iTunes prior to 4.9 this was called "iTunes 4 Music Library").
Microsoft Windows: "iTunes Library.itl" (in versions of iTunes prior to 4.9 this was called "iTunes 4 Music Library.itl")

Open iTunes.

From the File menu, choose Import.
Tip: Do not add any music into iTunes at this point.

Navigate to the iTunes Music Library.xml file on the Desktop.

Click Choose.

For steps to backup and restore playlists see "iTunes: How to backup and restore playlists."

If your podcasts list in iTunes is empty after following these steps, click here.

Note: If the iTunes Music Library.xml file is not available, follow the "Add to library" steps in "iTunes: About the Add to Library, Import, and Convert functions" to add files back to the Library (because the iTunes Music Library.xml file is not available, playlists and other information will not be available).
