You have 4g in /home/jim/WindozeStuff (that includes 3.8g in ~/Cakewalk)
another  4.6g in  /home/jim/Downloads

If you add these together you get 8.5g which is all but 1.7g of the 
total 10.2 of /home/jim

IF you are looking for all your drive space, I would suspect most of it 
was occupied by audio files.

Keep in mind, the directory sizes are cumulative.
/home/jim/mp3 shows the 4.50g it contains, plus the 5.04g contained in 
the sub directories.  so the 12g in / is all the files in / plus the 10g 
in /home. . .

 >>10211116        /home/jim

 >>12665840        /

So, almost 2 thirds of your drive is occupied by /WindozeStuff and 
/Downloads.
