The best way to avoid complete loss of any files is to back them up somewhere else. Speaking of backup, you can manually copy the MP3 files from one place to another, use free backup software, or sync them to cloud storage. Whether you want to back up music files or other content, these three ways are universal. If you don't have too many files, manually copying files could help. If you have a bulk of files and look for a time-saving way, apply the professional data backup software instead. While if you have a stable and fast network connection and large enough cloud storage, you can choose to back up the MP3 files to the cloud.

The Bottom Line

The only precondition for success MP3 recovery is that the lost music files are not overwritten by new content. Thus I'd like to stress that stop using the device where you have lost the MP3 files since merely listening to music may also cause data overwriting. Hope you can recover the deleted or lost MP3 files successfully with EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard.

"Recover lost files, even after deleting a partition or formatting your drive." —Macworld

2. Why cannot I recover 2GB data for free?

It is recommended to check the version installed is Free or Trial because they are different versions.

Trial has data preview function but cannot save any files, while the Free version enables to recover 2 GB files. The default free space is 500 MB and you may share the product on social media to get another 1.5 GB.

3. Why cannot the recovered files be opened?

A file is saved as 2 parts on the storage device: directory info (which is comprised by file name, time stamp and size info, etc.) and data content.

If the files with original file names and folder structures cannot be opened, one possible reason is the corrupted directory info. There is still a chance to recover the data content with the RAW Recovery method in our software.

4. Why isn't it suggested to recover the files back to the original drive?: The storage structure of the lost files would be altered or damaged by any changes on the drive. If you save the recovered files back to the same drive, the original data structures and data content would be corrupted or overwritten, which causes permanent data loss. So you should prepare another disk to save the files.

6. How long does it take to scan the drive?: It strongly depends on the capacity of your hard drive and the performance of your computer. As reference,most drive recoveries can be completed in around 10 to 12 hours for a 1-TB healthy hard drive in general conditions.
