I am taking a census (via the little exclamation marks in Itunes) of music that is vanished with the dead hard drive, and it is SO DEPRESSING. I made it halfway through H before I had to stop out of sadness. So far we have--among other things--a huge collection of early music, all my Putumayo and Rough Guide albums(I have A LOT of them), all my awesome Christmas music(most of it not too easy to find), everything by Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer(which confuses me because I'm pretty sure I BOUGHT that), and a WHOLE lot more stuff, some of which will be simple but tedious to replace, some of which may be gone forever. The Christmas music collection, for instance, is virtually all traditional and/or classical and/or early stuff, mostly assembled through other people's yearly posts of Christmas music. Also all my classical, almost, was from posts on lunatunes and all the links are probably dead now.

heard back from the data recovery people--everything on the drive is officially lost. I'll be posting a list of everything I can remember that's gone when I finish taking inventory in itunes, but the saved internet porn is gone forever :(
