I accidentaly deleted all of my music. I have backups of most of it. I was just wondering if there's anyway I can recover the music I don't have backups for.

Eh, we may need a recovery specialist in this forum to check this out. Did you empty trash or "secure empty trash"? There are a few data recovery programs out there, but they are expensive. It might be worth it to re-import your music, unless you got it elsewhere. By the way, I am assuming you are on a Mac running Tiger, am I correct?

Did you accidentally empty the trash, too?

if yes... Was all your music on your iPod? Use Senuti or the like to transfer it back to your compy.

Yes, i have tiger.
I emptied the trash too. I thought I had my music in another folder than the one i put in the trash.
I don't have an iPod right now.

In a house.
This will do it:

Unfortunately, it will cost you a C-Note. Depending on how much music you had, and how important it was, it may just be worth it to reimport, or, as katie ta achoo said, use Senuti if it's on your iPod.

I don't believe this will bring back the deleted music after you have emptied the trash. If anyone can confirm this than I am extremely happy I bought it.
