iTunes 5.0 Special Report: Purchased music playlist lost

MacFixIt reader Navarro Parker reports that his "Purchased Music" playlist is lost after the iTunes 5.0 update. He writes:

"After upgrading to iTunes 5, one of my Macs has completely lost the special green 'Purchased Music' playlist.

"Even after purchasing a song from iTunes Music Store, I still do not have the special playlist. My other Macs (which have very few purchased songs) have the playlist. But of course, my main Mac where I have purchased more than 300 songs the Purchased playlist is nowhere to be found."
