I downloaded a bunch of mp3 files to put in my new sd card (8 GB of capacity). I currently use that sd card for my MP3 Player. I stored the files in a folder in the sd card. After a few days, I decided to put that sd card in my new phone. I've forgot to backup my mp3 files before doing that. Then, when I open the sd card in my phone, the storage has no mp3 files that I stored before. There are only 4 files (android files). BUT, when I load the sd card in my computer, the storage shows "158MB free". That means my mp3 files are still in the sd card but maybe hidden somewhere. I tried to enable "Shows hidden files" in my computer but there are no hidden files. Maybe regarding the sd card format. (I STILL CAN HEAR THE MP3 FILES WHEN I PUT IN THE MP3 PLAYER). (THE PROBLEM IS HOW CAN I VIEW THE FILES OR RENAME IT OR ANYTHING ELSE???) Your helps will be much appreciated. Thank you!

I don't know how to upload a video?:

I suppose it could be that the format in which your SD wants to display the MP3 files isn't what the computer/phone would like to display them for. Also, it could be that when you transferred the files, they auto-converted to a new type of file. I don't suppose you can access them on your MP3 player? Even if they auto-converted to a new type of file (Like a video file, MP4 or even a .JPG, who knows), it SHOULD still be visible on at least your computer.

Can u connet ur mp3 to your computer? If cant u can format it and use a freeware to recover file from ur sd card. Or for a safety use u can try recover that file see if that software recognized ur files as deleted or hidden.
