Hi,


I have a Kingston MiniSD 2 gb, which is found by my device (under file explorer etc.).
I can play music without any problem, but I need to select it through the file explorer. They aren't found in Windows Media.

I synchronised my device with windows media player on my pc with 400 songs or something.
I saw all songs in the library, but when I opened Windows Media on my device again (after a soft reset), everything dissapeared.
I searched for new music, Windows Media found my 400 songs, then it was adding all the found songs.. guess what: only 8 songs found, these "songs" are wav files, located on the device itself. (So none of the songs I synchronised were found)

So I reinsterted my minisd and then Windows Media said it found a storage card, "Do I need to search for music?" I click yes and the cycle goes all over again..
He finds my songs, but doesn't add them.

When I click on Menu => Library, I can only choose for "My Device", so it says nothing about a storage card..

I'm using the following rom:
mUn_1.25.TE_AKU3.5.2_WWE


If I synchronise another song, the problem stays..


Anyone knows a solution to this?

Sorry I can't help with a solution but I can report that I am having this problem very often with the new HTC ROM. It happened once or twice in several months when I was on the old ROM but after the upgrade to the GPS-enabled ROM the Sandisk 2GB miniSD keeps disappearing from Windows Media player.
A temporary fix is to connect the phone via ActiveSync and delete the two hidden folders in the root of the card (MSMETADATA and WMDRM). This will allow the files to be added to the WM library again.

I had similar problem before, but worse, I couldn't add any file at all. Your method did solve the problem.

One more point to note: You could delete those two folders in File Explorer of the device. ActiveSync is not a must. Click Menu and check Show All Files.

Good point! I had forgotten about that File Explorer option!

That might be an issue with the 4GB card itself.

I do want to thank you all since this thread resolved the "No-Adding-Files-Problem" I had for a long time now. I was helpless (didin't found this thread before :-() and had to format my 4GB SD card twice. What a moron! Therefore thank you very much.

I have just experienced a similar issue on the 3rd day of owning my brand new Trinity. Tried to play some music on my 2GB MiniSD and there was no option for STORAGE CARD in the library. I updated the library a zillion times, but after successfully FINDING quite normally the 190 files the the process would get stuck as it tried to ADD them, and I got nowhere. I ejected the card then put it back in. I tried a few OFF/ONs, then a SOFT RESET, then a HARD RESET, all to no avail. After reading this thread I deleted the MSMETADATA file as suggested and then updated the library - and whaddaya know - works fine (for now)!
