Steps to Recover Deleted MP3 Files:

To help you recover your lost MP3 files faster, you can use the filter to locate specific file types, that is, Audio, or search for files with the .mp3 extension in the search bar.

Step 1: Choose a location

Select the location where you lost your music, voice recordings, or other audio files and click “Scan.”

Step 2: Preview the audio file

The scan will take longer depending on the size of your disk. You can recover files while the scan is in progress. Click “Audio” in the sidebar on the left. Preview the audio files you find by clicking the “Preview” button.

Step 3: Recover Lost Audio Files

Select all the audio files found, then click “Recover.” Choose a safe location on your computer or an external storage device to save these files, then click “OK” to confirm.

The free data recovery software allows you to recover 2 GB of files for free. That should be enough for most MP3 recovery scenarios. If you need to recover more than 2 GB of music files, you'll have to upgrade from the free version to the pro version.

How to prevent data loss in MP3 files

To make sure you don't lose any files, the best thing to do is back them up elsewhere. Speaking of backups, you can manually copy MP3 files from one location to another, use free backup software, or sync them to cloud storage. All three methods apply whether you're backing up music files or anything else. If you don't have too many files, copying them manually might be helpful. If you have a large number of files and are looking for a time-saving solution, then using professional data backup software would be better. And if you have a stable and fast internet connection and enough cloud storage space, you can opt to back up your MP3 files online.

Bottom line

The only prerequisite for successful MP3 recovery is that the lost music files have not been overwritten by new content. So, I would emphasize stopping using the device where you lost MP3s, as simply listening to music can also lead to data being covered. Hopefully, you'll be able to successfully recover your deleted or lost MP3 files with the Data Recovery Wizard tool.
