My iTunes died.

This is a sad sad sad day for me. iTunes has died for some reason or another. The app opens like normal and everything they only thing wrong is that all my songs have completely vanished. Step by step here is what happened.

1. I burned a really fast CD to take on a little road trip.
2. After finishing that I closed and quit iTunes.
3. My little brother gets on, opens iTunes while I'm away and says everything was missing.
4. I look at iTunes and notice that all the old folders I deleted such as "My top rated" and "90's Music" ect are all there. Just like they would be if you opened or downloaded iTunes for the first time.

So there's the problem. I'm running iTunes 4.6 and haven't shut the computer down for a few days. Thinking maybe I should ask about this first and see what can be done.
 
All of this information is stored in:
- [Home]/Music/iTunes Music, and
- [Home]/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.xml
Most likely, your little brother has accidentally dragged your Music folder to a different location, thus making iTunes revert back to an empty library. Do a search on your drive for "Music" or "iTunes" folders and if you find your songs, just put them back where they belong, restart iTunes and Voila!
Worst case scenario is that your little brother has deleted your music folder, but that would be hard to do by accident.
 
Ok wonderful. I found all the music. Kinda odd how it all most have been moved or something but thank you for your help none the less.
