Hi rayray0388 ... :D ..:D
try Recuva from here..have it look for .mp3..
when you delete files they are not really gone ...just the index is marked letting windows know it OK to write to that area...
so download it to a different computer and put it on a cd or usb flash drive...the more you download to or even use your computer the less you will get back

nojoy
if you bought the music from amazon recently they sometimes let you redownload them...worth asking
