An issue with WMP PPC v.10 can't see storage card...

[christian15213]

Ok, I don't know what is going on but my device pics up and uses my storage card fine. However, my WMP wont' read the card and when I try to "update" the library with update library function it goes almost the whole way and gets stuck when it says adding files.

Anyone have this problem??/

errrrrrr

do you guys use a better player with sync capabilities and what have you? thanks in advance.

Go to your storage card. delete the folder MSMETADATA and then load WMP and try to update the library again. It should work now.

@rene_canlas: this one is bugging me as well! i'll give it a shot the next time WMP10 doesn't see my card again [just did a hard reset and formatted my microSD cause of this].

yea, why does it do this... how does this happen?

I've owned 3 WM5 PPCs before the TyTN and didn't encounter this problem :confused:
--
dopod 838 + 1Gb SanDisk miniSD = no problem
hp iPAQ rw6828 + 1Gb SanDisk miniSD = no problem
O2 XDA Exec + 4Gb Transcend SD = no problem
HTC TyTN + 1Gb Transcend microSD = problem

I was starting to think that maybe my microSD card was defective but I guess I'm not the only one.

This is microSD card issue.

I had HTC Apache (PPC6700) with miniSD - no problem

I had Hermes with microSD 1GB SanDisk - problem
I have Hermes with microSD 2GB SanDisk - problem

AFAIR problem is with microSD card and it's Digital Rights Management.

My problem happens when I switch SimCards, new SIM card and WMP does not see nothing on microSD.

Similar problem I had with coping data (GPS maps) via card reader/writer - problems accured, via ActiveSync - no problem. Difference was in speed.

I have this problem quite frequently every week or so, really annoying. Using 2GB Sandisk card.

my TyTN had this problem, after browsing the memory card, the "MSMETADATA " folder was 32gb big...on a 2GB card? WTF????

the files inside the folder had foreign symbols on and stuff...and wouldnt delete with the normal "press the "delete" key button.."

i couldnt delete it, so i have to copy everyhting to computer, and then format the card! and after then its worked fine :D

bit crazy! also other media players struggled to add media files and the phone locked up...

[bnycastro]

So is it something wrong with the TyTN or is there something wrong with microSD cards in general :confused:

[crazyut]

I had a similar problem; I put the MicroSD card in Windows and ran chkdsk /r on the MicroSD card which then said it found files, converted the lost chains to files. I then was able to delete the new "lost chains" and the original folder. I also have the SanDisk 1gb/2gb cards. I guess sometimes the card gets sort of dislodged maybe and that is what wacks it out?

I have had the same problem on my TyTN since June. The work about is only a temporary solution.
I contacted HTC Europe and they advised me that they were are aware of the problem and that it would be corrected in a future update. Have updated but still have the problem.
I have noticed that the file MSMETADATA is not present on the storage cards on the latest phones. So I will take mine in to be repaired.
I suggest you do the same.

I don't know this for a fact but i have read that it is a problem with sandisk cards only...anyone know if this is true. I had it and i have a 1gb sandisk.
