The only thing I can think of to help you find your music is to do a search
in your entire computer, including hidden files, subfiles, case sensitive,
and backup. This search option is available in Search > All Files and
Folders > More Advanced Options (scroll down the Search window) and check all
the boxes. In the "All or part of the file name" line, type in *.mp3. If
you have any mp3's in your computer, they will show up. If there are no
results, then your mp3's have somehow been deleted. I sympathize with you .
. . it happened to me once. Now I back up all my mp3's on data disks which
is more than worth it in the long run. Good luck.
