Hi, Try starting up iTunes while holding down the Option key. This will force iTunes to ask which library you'd like to start from. I'd create a new iTunes Library, and see if iTunes, the app, starts normally. If it does, then there's likely an issue with the iTunes database file, not your music, the database that logs the various media and locations of everything. If iTunes does start up using this process, you can repair the old library, or at least attempt to, using the following method...

HTH. Later...

Have you done the usual things to fix minor problems such as First Aid in Disk Utility and reinitialising the PRAM? Then you could throw out your iTunes Preferences and see what happens.
