When your computer's hard drive or your external hard drive is damaged and you lose the information you had saved on it, all you can do is resort to the recovery tools in an attempt to save whatever is salvageable. But, when the damaged files are in MP3 format, there are specialized alternatives like MP3 Diags, an application that focuses on giving you back all your music intact.

MP3 Diags is a simple tool that repairs files that are corrupted or badly-coded.
