Backup your library.  That includes playlists. 

Make sure your media is in the same location after you install  Windows.

You should just backup your library and restore it after the reinstall.  That way you'll preserve everything, including your settings.

I would take the precaution of sending the library backup to a folder not on the C: drive, so you know it will be there after the windows install.
