    Im going to wipe my laptop back to factory settings.
    I either would like to keep Itunes as it is but does not seem possible, all my music is saved on an external hard drive.

    Is there a quick way to import all the music back into ITunes instead of having to click the songs one by one or small batches of songs.

    I'll presume you're using Windows so in your Music folder there should be an iTunes folder. Copy this folder to a safe location. Once you have installed your OS again install iTunes. Again go to your new Music folder and find the new iTunes folder, delete this one and replace with the on saved previously.

    Start iTunes and your playlists should still be there but iTunes may not be able to find the actual music files. If this is the case, when iTunes says it can't find a file it will ask you to direct it to the music file. Once you've found the actual music file iTunes will ask if you want to use this location for other songs in your library. Click yes and hopefully iTunes should now be able to play all the songs from your external drive. You might need to repeat this for each of your playlists.

    I'm a Mac user so not 100% sure if this will work on a Windows machine but it certainly works on Mac OS.
