I had down loaded several hundred songs and now they just all disappeared. I have to admit that I was trying to sync it with some other music forum and when I went back to view my tunes they were all gone!!!

Also, some time last week all the title and artist info turned from black ink to red ink. Was that some sort of warning that my list was getting ready to be erased? Once you down load a song and you are not a PRO user doesn't it stay in the library permenantly??

I have no idea if I accidentally changed a setting and its something i did or if the system has a period of time that automatically resets itself.

HELP

Stupid question, but did you check your saved folder (tools > options > saving will show you the location)?
Use your computer's search to look for some of the file names
If you really have deleted the whole lot by mistake, there's some file recovery advice here
