How do I get the iTunes setup wizard to open? I backed up all my music and I just got it all back on my hard drive, but it's all in itunes' organized folders already so selecting the mp3s one by one is really impractical. I know there's a way to have itunes automatically search for audio files but I can't figure out how to open it.

Anyone?

I don't think you have to use the wizard.

Either navigate to Music/iTunes and replace the folders in there with the identically named ones that have your songs in them

or

In iTunes go to File > Add to Library and select the folder that contains all of the folders of your music. I *think* iTunes will find any music inside of the selected directory. Note that this way will probably duplicate your music into iTunes's folders insted of just moving them.

Drag the folder of music to iTunes window with the library open. Should be fairly self-explanatory

Heck, just dragging your entire harddrive to iTunes will make it search for all your music files.

Just drag your music folder onto the iTunes icon in the dock.
