How to fix previously downloaded iTunes LPs for iTunes 9.0.2
iTunes 9.0.2 changed some things about how iTunes LPs work. Because of this many community created LPs can't be imported into iTunes anymore. If you downloaded an iTunes LP from another website, or one that isn't available on this website anymore (for various reasons), and it has that problem; You can still get them to work by simply adding one missing file to the .itlp. Here's how you do it:
First download this .zip file. It contains a file named manifest.xml which is missing from the iTunes LPs that don't work anymore. All you need to do is copy that manifest.xml into your iTunes LP. To do so open the .itlp folder. If you are on a Windows machine you can just double-click the .itlp folder and copy the manifest.xml into the same location as the iTunesMetadata.plist, index.html and iTunesArtwork files. If you are using a Mac OS X machine right-click or ctrl+click the .itlp file and select Show Package Contents. A new finder window will open containing among other things an iTunesMetadata.plist, index.html and iTunesArtwork file. Copy the manifest.xml into this folder.
When you've added the manifest.xml you can add your iTunes LP to iTunes by dragging it into your music library. iTunes should now recognize and accept the iTunes LP again.

any chance of making something like this to add remote functionality to itunes extras and lp's
Still working on that. Will definitely come, but I'm afraid that will probably take a little more than changing a single file. I'll update any LPs here when I get things working.
