External Hard Drive / Software Prob

This is involved, but I could really use someone's help:
I bought an external hard drive to handle my music library, which has outgrown my internal hard drive. I connected it, then I moved the folder containing the library onto the external hard drive. I use MusicMatch jukebox and once I had moved the My Music folder, the player no longer recognized links to the tracks. I tried to move the program file of the player onto the external hard drive, but with no luck. I went to the MusicMatch website and they said to move the original music files, delete the songs from the player and then re-add them from the new file location. I did this, and now I am suddenly missing 85% of my music library. I tried to restore the songs from the Recycle Bin, but to no avail. It's only the last 15% of the library (alphabetically) that is intact. I know there has got to be a way to recover the rest of the library, then to be able to sync my player with the library when it's located on the new external hard drive - but unfortunately I'm not quite savvy enough to figure it out.

Hmm, are they all mp3's? If so, search your entire PC for *.mp3 and take note of the locations of the files. Move them all into one spot and then follow the directions they gave you. This is of course assuming you didn't accidently delete the actual mp3's.
