Not my library, it is over 4TB large. 3TB of movies, and 1TB of music. Connecting to library much faster. I know cause I have done it both ways.

Then after the clean install, I told iTunes to connect to the save library by holding the option key when opening iTunes. I found the library, and connected to it. When I plugged my iPhone in, it recognized it as the same library I have been using. So it wasn't necessary to rebuild my library.

The only things you'll loose are things that are not apple. you can even retrieve your data if it is in iCloud. if you have content that did not come from apple such as audible books, get them from audible, bard books, get them from bard and so on. if any of it is from css you've ripped or your own movies or videos including dads, make sure you have them or they will be gone even if you do restore from a back up.

I have purchased quite a lot of audiobooks from iTunes and so naturally I don't want all this to be lost after the clean install. So what are the ways in which I could possibly back up all this content. Also would it be possible to re-download it all again and not be charged for it? Your comments on big iTunes audio libary's music, apps audiobooks and otherwise will be greatly appreciated. P.S. As a side note: If I re-installed the OS new or otherwise and plugged my iPhone once iTunes is opened would all the content from the iPhone get imported back into iTunes again. or would it wipe my phone leaving me with nothing?
