# 1 Re: Wipe-out
If I recall correctly, there's a specific file that contains the index to your library and all your playlists. Somehow it is getting overwritten. I'd make a point of backing it up somewhere. I can't recall the extension. .itl maybe? Someone here will know and likely respond shortly.

It is the .itl file: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
If you keep this backed up. You can replace the "original" with the back up when iTunes decides to wipe itself out and it will restore it to the day of the back up. I try to make daily back ups of this file, at least weekly, and certainly after every major music addition.
