Any Programs to Recover Deleted Files on a 30 GB Zune?

Does anyone know of a program that can recover deleted songs from a Zune 30 GB? I was cleaning-up my hard drive and apparently lost half of my albums. When I tried to transfer them from my Zune to my computer, the blasted thing auto-synced on me and deleted them from the Zune. Recover in the Zune software didn't help. I've looked all over the web and there's only one commercial program that I can find. It's listed under about 10 different names and sold by hundreds of sites but it's really the same program and it doesn't seem to work. Anybody have any ideas?

Also, please don't leave comments "you should have bought an ipod". My family has four of them...I just happen to use the Zune right now and I desperately want to recover my music. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Update:

Thanks to those who have answered so far but I probably should provide some additional information. The 30 GB Zune does not have a memory card...it's a hard drive. Also, unless you are will to reconfigure the unit, it is not recognized as an external hard drive so most of the recovery programs don't even see it when it's plugged in. Thanks for trying. anybody else have any ideas? I was able to recover a list of what was deleted from my hard drive using a recovery program but the files were too fragmented so they did not work when they were restored. That's why I was trying to recover them directly from the Zune.

    1. Do not save any new file to memory card.

    2. Connect zune memory card card to computer using a card reader. You should see memory card shown as a drive letter (like H:) in Windows Explorer.

    3. Download recover software, recommended one is asoftech photo recovery (simply because i was using it and it worked)

    http://www.asoftech.com/apr/

    4. Install and open asoftech photo recovery, go to settings dialog, select file type you want to recover, and then select zune memory drive, and click 'Start' button.

    attempt typing "recuperate deleted documents" on google. From there seek for a loose application. in case you have used kit to completely delete them, which includes shredder and so on, then you certainly could wish a quite damn stable application to get them returned. they could be quite plenty unrecoverable.
