    See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash or Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

     

    If the media files really have been deleted, and there is no other source, then there are various undelete tools ranging from free, e.g. FreeRecover, to expensive which might help depending on how the files/folders were deleted and how much work is involved in recovering them. Either way, the more you do with the drive the less chance they have of being able to recover your data successfully. You should also extract the data to another drive to avoid corrupting what has yet to be rescued.

     

    Note also that some "free" recovery tools are bait & switch. The free download will show what can be recovered, but you have to pay up before it actually pulls out any data.
