Can anyone out there help please.
I have been happily using a 4gb card in my Trinity for the last month, storing most of my program files and all my music on the card.
I just had to resetup my Trinity. I deleted all the program files but left the music on the card alone.
Windows Media Plaey now no longer sees the card and wont update the library from it. it seems to count the music files when searching, just doesnt add them.
There are no software conflicts, i am using the same software as before this fault happened, you can still play individual media files from the card by opening the file from file explorer or media player.
Anyone any ideas please??

Delete the MSMETADATA and WMDRM folders and update the library.

I'm afraid thats not the answer, there's no file there to delete. I've used that one in the past for other probs on other devices.
Media player just doesnt see the storage card anymore, even though it did in the past.
Thanks anyway.

Well you could have deleted the directories from Trinity as well, just check Show all Files (those directories are hidden) and then delete them.

Well I'm having the same problem. It CAN read files from the storage card. If there are nog WMDRM & MSMETADATA folders it CAN update the library. But if I listen for a few hours, put off the phone and put it back on it will not read the 'Storage Card' library.. If I select update library it just stops responding..
The only thing I can do is Soft reset, it will recognize the library again.. But I don't like having to soft reset :S

Quick reply to darkilici -
I had tried that one as well. The problem lay on the card.
Since my fix - I've had no probs so far.
Seems to be a lot of people having weird roubles with 4bg cards out there.

Dave,
this is not just limited to 4gb cards.
I have a 2gb installed with same issues described above.
Resolved (as Apoc described) by deleting the MSMETADATA and WMDRM folders.

I think I have the solution...Win Media Player sucks, use Mortplayer and TCPMP player then forget all the missing file problems.
