Help - lost my music

My question is similar to one below.  I used my clip for about 9 months.  I recently shut it off and when I turned it back on and tried to play a song, the song wouldn’t start. (time stayed at 00:00).  I tried again and it still didn’t work. I came online and followed direction to download an update thinking that would work.  When I turned my clip on again, it now tells me there are no songs at all.  However, when I plug it into my computer, the memory is still reading as if it was loaded with the songs. ( I only have 790MB free out of 4GB)

To me, those songs are somewhere in my clip.  Any ideas as to how I can find them or if they are truely gone and I will have to reformat to clear the memory again?  When I open the files on the computer all the folders that come up are showing empty.

I really don’t want to have to load all that music again…:frowning:

thanks for the info.  I tried what you told me, and it still didn’t work.  Anyone else?
