Find and delete the folder MSMETADATA and its contents then update the wm library - this is a known problem.

reclaiming lost space on card

---

just some extra info regarding this issue
before I knew about the delete msmedata file solution I found that when I tried to update the library it would seem to hang the phone while adding files. While this was happening I looked at the available memory on the card and saw it quickly running down to 0mb. It was as if the phone was trying to copy duplicates of all my audio files. I could not find these files even though they were obviously taking up the space on the card, and so could not delete them. The only way I could reclaim this space was to back up the files that I did want, formatted the card and finally copied the wanted files back onto the card. Space reclaimed.
Maybe there's a simpler work around for this that I am unaware of but if not, I hope this helps someone.

Until aku 3 or higer comes out you have to live with this crappy work around. This is one of the reasons the Hermes is a toy rather than a tool

Not that I want to perpetuate the inane toy versus tool debate, but I have a claw hammer thats a very good hammer but crap at nail removal for which I have a more specialised tool - I do use it for taking out nails though when I don't have the special tool to hand. Now would you say my hammer is a toy not a tool because some aspects of what it does are not as good as others - in fact that hammer won't remove a nail at all if its flush to the wood. Just a thought.

too late!
Surely the toy/tool thing is purely subjective? When I'm playing poker on my tytn, it's a toy. When I'm finishing off a spreadsheet for work or doing my accounts, it's a tool.
