Default WMP Library files from SD Card

Hey All,
I've got a ton of media files on my SD card that will all play using WMP, But for some reason when I try to add them to the WMP library it won't add them. When I use the update library feature it finds all the files, but when it says adding files to library it only adds the files saved on the device and not the sd card. When going to library and selecting storage card as source and then clicking on music or videos I get an error message that says "Windows Media, An unexpected error occurred". Does anybody know of o fix or has had this problem. Any help is appreciated.

Try moving the files to a subdirectory on the SD..eg.: /Storage Card/Music/*

Right now the files are in the my documents\my music folder on the storage card. I hadn't tried it with my old sd card because with the 512 card was large enough to bother. I can play all the files if I select them with open file, I can even play the whole folder if I select it. It even puts up the album art on the screen. It just won't let me add them to the library.

Thanks for everyones suggestions. I was able to fix it by deleting the MSMETADATA and the WMRDM folders from the storage card and this fixed it. I got the answer from sprintusers forum but the guy that posted it said he ound the fix here. So thanks to those on this forum also.
