I'd try an unerase program on the PC. I do not know a good accessible
one, but have seen quite a few unerasers on the net. You could delete a
file on your PC and try some of these programs on that file first.

May be, a Scandisk or Chkdsk would be even better. Tell the checker to
recover the lost space and rename the recovery files, so that they have
the .mp3 extention. Then try to play them with Winamp.
