If the disk space is still ocuppied, the music is still there, somewhere. Try searching for a specific song name on the Windows / Mac command search, and see if it's found anywhere. Maybe forcing iTunes to close corrupted some properties or somehow managed to move your music away to the Temp folder or something. Not sure, just throwing out ideas...
some songs look like they've just been deleted from iTunes, and are still in their usual spots on my HDD. other songs look like they've been deleted alltogether, i can't find them anywhere

Eg. for U2 Unreleased and Rare, Mercy is missing in iTunes, and it is missing in my music folder too .... dafuq?
think im going to have to suck it up and remake my whole library, its too hot to do anything outside anyway.
Cheers for the input guys.
