Hi, yes you should try to get technical support and you can also use any software recovery softwar. thanku
In my view, the reasons for the issue may be:
#1. There are some logical errors with the SD card, such as bad sector. Try runnig CHKDSK to find and fix it.
#2. Since the lost data is mp3 file, you may try deleting the Nomedia file in the SD card to see if it works.
#3. Software errors. Check the apps which are installed after the mp3 files loss to see if it’s resulted from software conflict.
These are just common fixes. Hope they can help you out.

Hi @junomariop,
Here are few new useful suggestions that you can try:
-
Check for Hidden Files: Sometimes files or folders can become hidden. Use a file manager app to check for hidden files on your SD card.
-
Run a Diagnostic Check: Use your computer to run a diagnostic check on your SD card. Tools like CHKDSK (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac) can help identify and fix file system errors.
-
Use Android Data Recovery Software: Your files have disappeared from SD card, so using a reliable data recovery tool can be very helpful. Stellar Data Recovery for Android is an excellent choice for this. It’s designed specifically for recovering lost or deleted data from Android devices. (Make sure to avoid using the SD card for any new data until you’ve attempted recovery. Adding new data can overwrite the lost files, making them harder to recover.)
One of the most common causes is corruption in the SD card. This can happen due to improper ejection, physical damage, or just wear and tear over time. Files or entire folders might disappear if parts of the card become unreadable. I would recommend checking out this blog to know how you can fix them.
