So, I was merging two Music folders and clicked the Write Into button, but instead of actually merging, one folder overwrote the other. If it weren't for backups, I would've lost all my music right now. I don't know how it happened, and I can't reproduce the error or find anything with Google. It could have been a bug with Dolphin, cp, or ntfs-3g (since I was copying from an external NTFS drive to my ext4 home partition). I really really really need to not have to worry about this happening again.
EDIT: Definitely confirmed that I can't reproduce the bug: I'm now merging from a different external drive (the backup, which is ext4) to the Music folder that overwrote the original (it was just new files to add in) and it's actually merging properly.
EDIT: Aaaaand I just realized the "folder" that got overwritten was a symlink. So, nevermind, that's why that happened.

Oh, I'm dumb. I looked for a mark as solved button after that last edit and then gave up when I didn't find one.
