iTunes has a feature that allows purchased music to be backed up. I am a
big iTunes user, but I don't use that feature. What I do is clone my
Mac's disk once a month since I want to back up the entire thing anyway.
I know for a fact that restoring the clone will not prevent iTunes from
playing the restored music because that's how I migrated my data from my
previous Mac to my current Mac.
Anyone who doesn't back up their data regardless of OS is looking for
trouble. The OP's main problem is, he didn't back up his data and now
he's paying the price. The OP should also consider a more user-friendly
service from which to download music such as iTunes.
