Hi sahara and welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help,

click the start orb, then providing you know the titles, type them in the search box. If they are still on the computer but have moved to a different folder, that should find them. If they have got moved, check the top left for which folder they are now in.

If on the other hand they have been deleted for some reason they will not show up or at best it will tell you the system can't find them when you click on each one.

Let us know what you find.

However as to why this happened in the first place is a mystery, I have never heard of that happening before. If the original files were definitely in the "Music" folders within the libraries, there is no reason as to why they have either been deleted or moved elsewhere.
