So, just like mostly everybody else, I went and bought this AMAZING live version of Permanent that David did on AI for the charity show. I just got a new laptop and somehow, while transferring my music, all of my music got deleted. I restored all of it (it was in the recycle bin) but for whatever reason, everything with the artist's name starting with the letters A-D was GONE. First thought: crap crap crap crap ALL OF MY DAVID COOK MUSIC IS GONE. Which is was. I'm trying to piece everything back together and I'm still missing the live version of Permanent and can't seem to find it anywhere. Help please?

If it's from itunes, you should just be able to log in, authorize your new laptop and all that you've bought should be there. That's what I did when I got my new laptop.

I did. All of my purchases transferred fine to begin with. At some point after that (and after I had synced my iPod with my new iTunes library, that at first DID contain all of my purchases and other music) but then after that the music ended up in my recycle bin. So I tried to restore all items but it didn't restore the songs if the artist's name started with the letters A-D. They weren't in the recycle bin and I searched my computer and they were nowhere to be found.
