The condition of the hard drive and what the tech did to it would determine if you can get your music back. I have played with a lot of hard drives over the years and some I could get things off of and others I could not. Each one is an adventure. I even watched a guy take apart a hard drive, remove the platters, put them into another drive and get the data off. He did not use a clean room and had two drives that were the exact same model. It was just something he want to try to see if he could do it.

Also like Homeball mentioned external drives are fairly cheap and a good way to backup all your important music and files.
