Cher,
When I told Jen to browse to the top folder, I was advising from the perspective that she had yet to add any of that music which she had copied to her computer from a flash drive to her iTunes library. You are right that the top folder in my system would be iTunes Media\Music and also correct that if this had been done previously, duplicates would be added to the library. In your case, once you've located the tracks restored from your recycle bin, I'd suggest that you paste them into your iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes folder to see if iTunes automatically adds them back to your library the next time you launch it.

Could not figure out the procedure for adding back to library- even after reading several rather unspecific web answers. When you told Jen to "browse to the top folder", it seems like this would always be the iTunes>media>music folder- would it Not? Seems like this would add tons of duplicates to the library. Apparently I'm missing a step or two here :( Cher From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan Lemly Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2015 5:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: So I have copied my itunes folder off my thumb drive in to itunes so am I all good now Jan, If I understand your post, you've copied all your iTunes media content which came from a flash drive where it was pasted from an older system to your music folder on your laptop. iTunes manages all the media on your computer through the iTunes library which is a file with a series of pointers amongst other things to the actual music files on your computer. You will need to go into iTunes, and select File, add folder to library, and browse to the top folder under which you pasted all your media on your laptop in order to get the iTunes library populated. Depending on how much content you have, this might take a few minutes for iTunes to complete. Good luck.
