did you try to plug it into a different computer? Sometimes it can be synced to the other computer's music automatically, getting rid of the files.

Have you tried to plug it into a computer and make sure the drive is still working? If it was flash based, I could see the music just disappearing(that's happened with one of my USB flash drives before!) But with an HD based unit, that really shouldn't happen unless the data got corrupt somehow or the internal drive died... But then again, I don't know that much about ipods...
