Hi devtrick,

If you decide to copy all of the empty clusters to your disk, try using
mp3directcut to listen and truncate the file. I think a program like that
makes the task to recover the music a lot easier.
Also, if I'm right, the rockbox recordings all have the exact same 5,49 kb
at the beginning of the file; the mpeg header. At least, Jens told
something like that when the recording bug in rombox showed up. Now DON'T
create a new recording file, but check the old one, and perhaps some other
old files what bytes are the same. It may reduce the search span quite a
bit.
And good luck!

Ronald
