Ria, after you have done the search for the files with the .mp3 extention, you say you can see all 1152 music files right? But can't go to the folder cos it doesn't exist?

Can you try something for me. Do the search again, and when it lists the mp3's, can you right click on one, select COPY and then go to your desktop and paste it. Let me know if it pastes onto the desktop. If it does, try playing it.

If it pastes, and plays, go back, highlight ALL 1152 mp3's, copy them all, then paste them into a new folder on the desktop (lets call it "Maria Music She Thought She Lost" shall we? ) and see if they all play.

If they do, hurrah. If you can't do any of the above, sorry hun, I'm all out of idea's....
