I have a lot of MP3s spread over 3 HDs. Recently I had a big
time HD crash and lost a lot of stuff and ended up moving a
lot of files around, adding HDs and generally shuffling things
around. My iTunes Library is messed up.

I was thinking I'd just toss it and start over by dragging all
my files into iTunes and letting it build a new Library.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't so that?
Could I run into any problems?

Thanks

The only ones that I can think of is that you will loose ratings and
playlists.

And any info not stored in ID3 tags (for instance, title, album and
artist for WAV/AIFF files.)
