Bye Bye Music

So, a couple of days ago, I did something. I did not know that I did it, or that it would be so difficult to fix. I thought that I would be making something easier. Now, to all of you who do not know the situation, it probably sounds horrible, and it is, just not on the scale that you are thinking.

Cory and I share a computer, but we have two different user accounts on it, each with their own files, photos, and music. The important one here is the music. Cory has a lot more of his music on here than I do of mine. He's had it longer, he uses it more, it makes sense. Now, I like his music, well most of it, but sometimes I don't want to listen to it. Now, because our libraries our linked, it is extremely hard for me to find my, oh, 30 songs, in all of his thousands of songs. I remember the steps on how Cory linked our music, so I figured it would be the same, just opposite, if I didn't want it there anymore. And the fact that the button next to it said "REMOVE", I figured we were good.

Well, last night, I had just gotten to sleep, Cory was up on the computer trying to fix WOW, when he asked me if I deleted his music. At first, I had no clue what he talking about and told him no, and then tried going back to sleep. But because Cory kept mumbling to himself, it was hard to do this, which in turn, made me wake up even more, which made me capable of remember the incident I just described. I told him what I did, but that I didn't delete it, only to find out that I did.

Now, I'm sure a lot of you are saying, "Why not go restore it from the Recycle Bin?" Well, don't think we didn't try. Because Cory's music file is so large, it skipped right over it. Now Cory has no music and I feel like crap. He said that he was just going to buy an external drive and tell all his friends to put their music on since that was pretty much how he got his music the last time, but that does not make me feel any better because until he gets an external, he'll have no music.

So, the first thing I did when I woke up this morning, was began research on how to get this music back. I'm currently in the process of moving files from my flash drive so I can download a program to it which is supposedly going to help me. However, this is my second program that I've tried of the morning. If it doesn't work, there is still a place where his music is all listed, just unplayable, and I plan on getting it all back. If you have any other suggestions though, please comment and let me know. I know what it's like to lose years worth of music, it's happened to me plenty of times. But I also hate seeing him upset and it makes me feel horrible.
