Thanks for the explanation. I thought there might be something going on with
the file format. Just never new what that was. So, no ³undelete² for MP3ıs.

Seconded on the foremost.
A terrible experience a few years ago demonstrated MP3s pose a problem for
data carving: the format has "frames," such that two MP3 files can, in
theory, be concatenated, and be considered a single file without having to
re-encode.
The result was that a recovery process that was looking for start/end
patterns in the drive blocks, though mostly successful, ended up with half
of the songs in a music collection starting with one song and ending with
another. My friend wasn't super thrilled.
