Default Playlists Disappear when SD Card Mounted

I just got my new Atrix and I like it so far, but the one thing I can't seem to fix is that all my playlists disappear when I mount the drive and use it in USB storage mode.

I tried one of those multi-mount apps, but it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have another workaround? I'm rooted.

I used my iPhone as my primary media player (in my car, at work, etc). I would like to use the Atrix that way too. I guess I could just never use it in USB storage mode, but there goes one of the benefits of the phone.

Just ran into the same issue this week. Not sure of a fix. I just had to resync the playlists using media monkey. Then it took Player Pro a good while to re-add my playlists and rebuild the library. Kind of a pain.

Yeah, I've just been using double twist to make playlists, because making them on the phone just have them be deleted is no fun.

I guess it's not horrible. Just a pain, like you said. My iPhone couldn't natively mount as a drive so, and the hacks to do it sucked. The original iPod could be used an external drive and keep your playlists, and you could sideload music. That was awesome.
