I haven't accessed my Apple account in a couple of years and now I can't find the library where my music was saved. The music I purchased and the albums and cd's I saved. Are they gone forever or just really well hidden? I am no technology expert and the only Apple device I own is my little square Apple Nano iPod, which I love and will never upgrade. Can anyone help?
Windows, Windows 10
Saved where? You will have used iTunes to add the music to your iPod, so all that music should still be in your iTunes Library on your computer.
Open iTunes (on your computer) and see whether your music is listed there. If you have deleted your iTunes programme, the music would not have been deleted (unless you did so), so use Windows Explorer to look in the My Music folder. In there should be an iTunes folder and there will be an iTunes Media folder(or possibly iTunes Music). In this lowest sub-folder will be your music, arranged by artist and then album title.
Folders are: Music / iTunes \ iTunes Media \ <artist name> \ <album title> \ <song name>
Once you find that collection, you should ensure that you back it up, to prevent losing it if your computer fails.
If you have deleted iTunes, download it again and install it on your computer. iTunes - Apple

Thank you so much. I found the music exactly where you said it would be. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me.
You're welcome.
