I recovered over 3K music files with Recuva, but can not open them. They are MP4 and MP3 audio files that definitely contain data and don't seem to be shortcuts or empty shells. Each recovered file is labeled with a "$" with numbers and letters that follow. I have tried everything to,open...QuickTime, iTunes, VLC, Windows media, etc, but nothing works. Is there anything I can do??? Is there any other software to use on these recovered files to try and get them opened. I want to add them back to my iTunes library. I had deleted them as duplicates in iTunes , but deleted the wrong file.... Long story. GREATLY APPRECIATE any help!!! THANKS!!!!!
