iTunes 2 isn't working

[wage212]

Okay...so my friend was using the old OS 9 for a long time until he tried to put in a CD to import and it said it was damged, from that point on iTunes wasn't working for him. It said things couldn't be found and network errors and the whole shabang...

So he got OS X and installed it on the same computer (he has an eMac by the way). So now he can switch between the two through the whole start up disk thing. The problem is that now he doens't have any of his music since iTunes in the OS 9 isn't working and he wants it in OS X.

The question is...how in the world...if possible, would we be able to get all his music back?

Things we did:
1) Searched for the iTunes Music Library and similar folders in OS 9...we found them and they wouldn't open. It told us to go to the domuments folder and there was nothing there.
2) In OS X we searched in every possible location for songs he KNEW he had in OS 9 that he doesn't have in OS X to see if it would pick up the songs...no luck...but maybe we didn't look hard enough.

It doesn't help that he has no clue what I'm saying...we got really frustrated and would appriciate ANY AND ALL help we get with this problem!!!

open itunes in os x, then drage your hard drive icon to the main itunes window. it should start searching your hard drive and adding all the songs it finds. if it doesn't find anything, you may have some really big problems.
