A number of people are experiencing some music from their iTunes libraries being deleted without their permission [Source: The Loop]. Apple has confirmed this glitch and says they're working on a fix. This fix should come next week. Apple had the following to say on the issue:

“In an extremely small number of cases users have reported that music files saved on their computer were removed without their permission. We’re taking these reports seriously as we know how important music is to our customers and our teams are focused on identifying the cause. We have not been able to reproduce this issue, however, we’re releasing an update to iTunes early next week which includes additional safeguards. If a user experiences this issue they should contact AppleCare.”
