For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.When a file or files are deleted on your computers hard drive, they are realy still there, all that happens is a code is put on that part of the hard drive saying its a free space again so a new file in the future could be saved there over it. But more than likely its not done that yet and your files are still there just hidden to you.So this means you can still recover your music files by getting a special program that recovers them. There are many versions out there to buy. disk recovery wizard is one iv used in past. they find allsorts of old files,pictures that have been deleted in the past.The program scans your hard drive just like a virus checker does and can take a few hours if you have a large hard drive. If theres alot of music you have lost then it will be worth it to purchase a file recovery program.
I'm unfamilar with Macs but they can't be that different to IBM compatible PCs. In which case if you download applications to find/restore deleted files try not to download them to the disk where the music used to be, and don't install it to that disk either. You don't want to write all over the files you are looking for.
I hope you have made full use of Time Machine since you are running Mac OS. Even if you have emptied the Trash, restore from Time Machine and you will get everything back easily. If you didn't back up or forget to do that. Then you may need to opt for some mac data recovery program. Recommend you have a try of Wondershare Data Recovery for Mac ( http://www.wondershar...covery-mac/index.html ).
