CD Music missing from iTunes

Following my most recent sync between my Windows Laptop and my iPhone, all of the music that I'd copied from CDs over a number of years has disappeared.

In the folder of iTunes Media, the "previous iTunes libraries" is no help.

I've located a folder elsewhere that lists all of the artists that are missing. Under each artist, all of the albums are listed in folders, but each folder is empty.

I'd appreciate any suggestions please!

Windows, Windows 10

Typically your songs would be at <User>\Music\iTunes\Tunes Media\Music\<Artist>\<Album>\## <Name>.<Ext>. You can try searching your entire hard drive for the name of one of the tracks. Assuming you can find the media somewhere then there should be a way of reconnecting it to your most recent library database. The Previous iTunes Libraries folder is normally located in the iTunes folder. If you have it elsewhere that suggests you haven't properly recovered from a previous issue with the library.
