Help! 
I've had a total computer crash and re-format and needed to start from scratch again with everything and I thought it would be easy just to plug in my iPod and sync it with iTunes to get my music and playlists back but appparently....NOT!
Spent all of yesterday searching for answers and managed to watch a YouTube video and get my music into iTunes and although I can see the playlist xml file and if I drag it into the left hand pane of itunes all the playlists are there in a ghostly fashion, I cannot actually import the playlists whatsoever, have tried everything including downloading third party software (Gizmorip) which seems to offer no way of doing it.
All I want is my playlists back, such a simple thing and I am stumped.
Anyone got any ideas? Is it really simple and I'm just being dense?
