I recently had my iTunes libary go poof, and I tried my best to get everything rebuilt and back up to speed without losing all of my ratings - fortunately, my .xml file wasn't corrupted, so all i lost were playlists, etc.

However, I cannot seem to get the "Purchsed Music" playlist back. Any ideas on how to bring this bad boy back to life?

What I did was simply sort my library by Kind and dragged all of the Protected AAC tracks to my Purchased Music list. Of course, this won't work if you've screwed around with the formats of the songs you bought, but otherwise it should do just fine.
When Vin Diesel pops a can of Pringles, the fun stops after about fifteen minutes.

the problem is that I don't have that playlist. It got deleted. Do you know how to bring it back?
