mp3's vanished

[jpschmidt12@comcast.net]

I can't say if this is the result of a virus or worm, but it appears that several mp3's within my sharded directory are gone and replaced by .xml files. It seems as though all the files starting with the letter "E" and up are gone. I've done search after search in hopes of finding these lost files, and they're nowhere to be found on any of my drives/directories. Also, the problem with the shared/download folder not appearing in the library pane seems to persistantly plague me. I've tried all suggested remedies several times ("File:Add Shared Folder" "Tools:Options:Sharing/Downloading") and nothing works. I've also removed and reinstalled all components to no avail. I think it might be time to truly consider this a bug. Lets face it.
