Mp3 files scattered all over my desktop

In summary, the individual had previously organized their music mp3's and podcasts in their itunes library, but upon opening it again, none of the mp3's were present. They asked if there was a way to search for and organize the missing files, and it was suggested to use the windows search function. The individual then mentioned that their mp3's seemed to have scattered randomly without any apparent cause. After using the search function, they were able to find and organize their mp3's back into their itunes library.

I had all of my music mp3's and podcasts organized in my itunes library , now when I open my itunes library , none of my mp3s are in my itunes library.

Is there a search method , that allows you to search all your mp3's that was previously on your itunes library and organized your mp3's and podcasts back into your itunes library?

Well, you can use the windows search function and search for all files *.mp3 -- but I'd want to know how they got scattered. Do you have a virus scanner?

Thanks that search function worked and I have all my mp3's organized into my itunes library once again. IDK, my mp3's randomly just scattered on my desktop without any apparent cause. One minute all my mp3's are in my itunes folder, the next minute, I closed my itunes library and the re-open my itunes program , and I find that all my mp3's were not there.
