I accidentally "unshared" my library...now all songs are gone!

[jmrf4002]

Well, I did last night what I am afraid could have been a pretty decent- sized "oops." I opened up Limewire, and a window informing me that I was sharing 1000+ files popped up. Thinking I was sharing all those files with other people (and not just to iTunes, for example), I clicked the option to stop sharing files. Moments later I notice that they were all gone from my library....my shared files folder is now empty, and to is my saved file. And so is my recycle bin! Please tell me that there is some way to "re-share" these files..or better yet, to locate them period! Strangly enough, the ones I had previously transferred to iTunes are still working fine. Go figure..

Thanks

Lucklly for you all your files have been saved in the iTunes Library and even though you've deleted your main directory which you were sharing you should be able to locate that directory by doing a search from your start menu by naming a file you know you should have something you know you have on there.mp3
You'll probably find that they are in a directory listed as Something like: Robert(your name)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Album names There you will find them all listed in their individual albums or unknown albums depending upon whether or not you have an album name listed in the properties of that individual file.. From there it's just a matterr of copying them back into your shared or non-shared directory whichever one you decide upon. It may take you a while because now all your files will be listed in their individual albums but at least you haven't lost all your files. I have two directories in my C:\ main directory one of them is simply called My Music (these are all the files I don't wish to share. The other one is called Shared Music and this one has the 200 files that I wish to share with the Limewire community in them. So you see that way you don't have to share your whole 1-2000 files if you wish too.
