I cannot remember clearly but I believe that Foremost can find mp3 files 
by adding the correct headers/footers into the configuration file.  You 
can configure the file to look for only one type of file.  I found this 
out when I needed to recover some photos.  My camera headers and footers 
were different than the default.

It has been awhile since I used it.
