And, that means that from time to time, you may make a mistake &#8211; and accidentally delete a file that you intended to keep. This could happen just from trying to make more space on an SD card, or from a formatted SD card, and so on.<\/p>\r\n<p><img class=\"border-gray border-radius-10 aligncenter wp-image-40923 size-full\" src=\"\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/recover-deleted-music-files-from-an-SD-card-1.jpg\" alt=\"how to recover deleted music files from an SD card\" width=\"1080\" height=\"605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/recover-deleted-music-files-from-an-SD-card-1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/recover-deleted-music-files-from-an-SD-card-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/recover-deleted-music-files-from-an-SD-card-1-500x280.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/recover-deleted-music-files-from-an-SD-card-1-768x430.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>Thankfully, however, there are ways to <a href=\"\/memory-card-data-recovery.html\">recover deleted files from an SD card<\/a>, with the right tools. Here&#8217;s how to recover deleted or lost music files from an SD card.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"common_reasons_why_music_or_audio_files_disappear_from_sd_cards\"><\/span>Common Reasons Why Music or Audio Files Disappear from SD Cards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Music and audio files may disappear from your SD card for a number of different reasons. Let\u2019s go over the most common ones:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>User error<\/strong>: We all make mistakes, and some of our mistakes may cause music and audio files to disappear from SD cards. While completely avoiding making mistakes is unlikely to happen, you can at least minimize their consequences by learning how to recover deleted and lost music and audio files using the techniques described in this article.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Formatting<\/strong>: This useful but dangerous process can wipe out all data stored on an SD card in less than a minute, which is why you should always double-check if your SD card doesn\u2019t contain anything important before you click the Format button. Fortunately, formatted files remain on the SD card until they become overwritten, and you can get them back using data recovery software.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Corruption<\/strong>: SD cards use flash memory chips to store data. While much more reliable than older storage technologies, flash memory chips can still become corrupted when a computer doesn\u2019t successfully complete a write operation or when the voltage necessary for the chip to operate suddenly drops below a certain threshold. The good news is that as long as the corruption isn\u2019t too extensive, you should be able to recover at least some of your files.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Malware<\/strong>: There are many kinds of malware. If you\u2019re not careful enough, you might encounter a data-destroying strain of malware, such as Locky, WannaCry, Jigsaw, CryptoLocker, and other strains of ransomware. In many cases, infected data can be successfully recovered using readily available anti-malware software products.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Damage<\/strong>: In rare instances, your files may disappear as a consequence of physical damage. It\u2019s much more likely, however, that physical damage will cause your SD card to stop working entirely. Unfortunately, repairing a physically damaged SD card at home is far from easy, which is why we recommend you send the SD card to <a href=\"\/data-recovery-center.html#:~:text=Call%20our%20data%20recovery%20center,to%20ship%20your%20storage%20device%3F&amp;text=CleverFiles%20has%20partnered%20with%20the,it%2Dyourself%20data%20recovery%20solutions.\">data recovery professionals<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can_i_recover_deleted_music_from_an_sd_card\"><\/span>Can I Recover Deleted Music from an SD Card?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Thankfully, yes. It&#8217;s absolutely possible to recover music from an SD card, as well as other files, like documents, videos, and so on. Specifically, you can recover music files in all kinds of formats &#8211; including MP3, FLAC, OGG, WAV, and more. In other words, if you accidentally deleted your hi-res audio library, you should still be able to get it back.<\/p>\r\n<p>Follow the instructions below to recover deleted music from an SD card, depending on your computer&#8217;s operating system.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"recover_deleted_music_from_an_sd_card_with_software\"><\/span>Recover Deleted Music from an SD Card with Software<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>If you need to recover lost music files from an SD card on a Windows computer, it\u2019s worth using a software like Disk Drill.

Select the \u201cSearch for lost data\u201d button on the bottom right of the display.<\/p>\r\n<p>5. Wait for the program to scan your SD card for deleted music. This may take a few minutes, depending on how many files Disk Drill found &#8211; and how big those files are. During this time, you\u2019ll be able to see what kinds of files the program has found, and you can show the scan results in the file explorer.<\/p>\r\n<p><img class=\"border-blue border-radius-10 wp-image-31931 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/disk-drill-windows-2.jpg\" alt=\"recover audio files\" width=\"1233\" height=\"694\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/disk-drill-windows-2.jpg 1233w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/disk-drill-windows-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/disk-drill-windows-2-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/disk-drill-windows-2-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1233px) 100vw, 1233px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>6.

If you choose \u201cReview found items,\u201d you can pick from the folders found during the scan. If you\u2019re unsure where your files are, choose \u201cRecover all\u2026\u201d. If you chose \u201cRecover all\u2026\u201d, select a folder on your computer to save the recovered files to (not the SD card). On Windows, the free edition lets you recover up to 100 MB and preview everything. It will be enough to grab a playlist of MP3s or a few lossless tracks. Then upgrade to Pro if you satisfied with the results.<\/p>\r\n<p><img class=\"border-blue border-radius-10 aligncenter wp-image-31932 size-full\" src=\"\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/disk-drill-windows-3.jpg\" alt=\"recover deleted audio files on Mac\" width=\"1245\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/disk-drill-windows-3.jpg 1245w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/disk-drill-windows-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/disk-drill-windows-3-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/disk-drill-windows-3-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1245px) 100vw, 1245px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>8.

That\u2019s why you should always strive to avoid deletion of important files by practicing the following tips:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Back up your music<\/strong>: Backups are your best protection against data loss, so you should create them regularly and often. Ideally, you want to have at least two backups of your music, with one backup stored offsite, such as in the cloud.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Protect your SD card against damage<\/strong>: SD cards are fragile, and you need to take extra care to protect them against physical damage. If you use multiple SD cards, then you should purchase a protective case to keep them safe and organized.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Use one SD card per device<\/strong>: It\u2019s easy to lose important music files if you use the same SD card in your portable music player and in your digital camera. Since SD cards don\u2019t cost much these days, you should consider buying one for each device.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Always safely eject your card<\/strong>: Before removing your SD card from a memory card reader, make sure to safely eject it first so that you don\u2019t interrupt any running process and cause data corruption.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Pay extra for quality<\/strong>: There are actually not that many SD card manufacturers, but there are many little-known brands selling SD cards with flash memory chips that wouldn\u2019t make it past the quality control stage of any reputable brands. If the idea of your SD card suddenly dying on you doesn\u2019t sound exciting, then you should pay extra for a reliable SD card from a reputable company, such as SanDisk, Sony, or Transcend.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>As you can see, lost music and audio files are not necessarily gone for good. All you need to do to get them back is follow the methods described in this article\u2014no expert knowledge required. Just make sure to begin the recovery process as soon as possible because that\u2019s the best way to ensure data recovery success.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"faq\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<div><section itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\">\r\n<div style=\"border-bottom: 00px solid rgb(213, 217, 217);\" class=\"panel panel-default faq-block\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" role=\"tablist\">\r\n            <div class=\"panel-heading\" role=\"tab\" id=\"headingfaq1\">\r\n                <div class=\"panel-title\" itemprop=\"name\">\r\n                    <a class=\"toggle-link transition-all collapsed\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse-item-faq1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse-item-faq1\"><h3 class=\"panel-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_do_i_recover_audio_files_from_my_sd_card\"><\/span>How do I recover audio files from my SD card?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>                   \r\n                    \t<svg class=\"transition-all panel-toggle\" width=\"16px\" height=\"16px\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\r\n                            <g stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\r\n                                <path d=\"M7,7 L7,0 L9,0 L9,7 L16,7 L16,9 L9,9 L9,16 L7,16 L7,9 L0,9 L0,7 L7,7 Z\" fill=\"#000000\"><\/path>\r\n                            <\/g>\r\n                        <\/svg>\r\n                   <\/a>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <div id=\"collapse-item-faq1\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"headingfaq1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" style=\"\">\r\n              <div class=\"panel-body\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n<div itemprop=\"text\">\r\n                <p><\/p>\r\n<p>If you need to recover recently deleted files from your SD card, then you can use data recovery software like Disk Drill:<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li>Connect the SD card to your computer.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Launch Disk Drill.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Scan the SD card.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Preview &amp; select files for recovery.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Recover them to a safe location.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\r\n              <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"border-bottom: 00px solid rgb(213, 217, 217);\" class=\"panel panel-default faq-block\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" role=\"tablist\">\r\n            <div class=\"panel-heading\" role=\"tab\" id=\"headingfaq2\">\r\n                <div class=\"panel-title\" itemprop=\"name\">\r\n                    <a class=\"toggle-link transition-all collapsed\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse-item-faq2\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse-item-faq2\"><h3 class=\"panel-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_do_i_recover_deleted_music_from_an_sd_card\"><\/span>How do I recover deleted music from an SD card?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>                   \r\n                    \t<svg class=\"transition-all panel-toggle\" width=\"16px\" height=\"16px\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\r\n                            <g stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\r\n                                <path d=\"M7,7 L7,0 L9,0 L9,7 L16,7 L16,9 L9,9 L9,16 L7,16 L7,9 L0,9 L0,7 L7,7 Z\" fill=\"#000000\"><\/path>\r\n                            <\/g>\r\n                        <\/svg>\r\n                   <\/a>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <div id=\"collapse-item-faq2\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"headingfaq2\" aria-expanded=\"false\" style=\"\">\r\n              <div class=\"panel-body\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n<div itemprop=\"text\">\r\n                <p>Common music file formats, such as MP3, WAV, and M4A can be recovered using leading data recovery software applications.
