Before I continue, let me say straight off, I only have myself;lf to blame. This week, whilst using MusicBee to draft my playlists for my forthcoming internet radio shows, I got distracted. All my music was on a Seagate external hard drive which I inadvertently left connected to the machine when I closed down for lunch, also allowing the damned machine to update Windows 10 Home. When I returned to the task later I found a Bitlock on my Seagate drive that I did not put on. I have never used Bitlock on the drive or on the computer. My local IT shop couldn't help. I sent it to East Anglia Data Recovery and so far they are stuck too. It seems I've lost most of my music. Was it all backed up? Nah. I did some time ago, but have added thousands of tracks since then, some I can't get again. So, beware. Don't be a fool like me and not back up your collection. also don't be an added fool and leave a drive connected when updating Windows. In my defense, there are many people on many forums who have suffered the same fate, so I'm hardly alone in being a complacent idiot. I don't even know how many tracks I've lost. Does anyone know if MB counts the tracks, and where that info might be? I've found the album count (nearly 7000) but I've only had one or two tracks by many of the artist.
