idk weather its the sd card or the phone but ive done several trys and it keeps happening. I put lets say bout 67mbs of musik into the music folder then i reinsert the card to the phone and tada. No new music. I also noticed the folder LOST.DIR just gets bigger and its just junk. Also the music only disappears when i insert it to the phone. Any suggestions????

Did you try a reboot after putting the sd card in? I notice that the media scanner runs right after boot, I have also noticed that pic's vid and music do not show up right away I reboot then they show up. I never left it to check if it showed up at a later time.

yeah i did but i believe my uncle the person who brought the card went cheap and got me some fake ebay card or something. strange tho the card works perfect until u insert it into the phone then the files disappear.
Try formating the card using the phone tools, menu- settings- sd card and phone storage settings - format sd card.
you will lose everything on the card so back it up to your computer or something.

also I just noticed you remove the sd card to add music, just connect the usb cable to the phone and use the storage as mass storage to add files after you format using the phone.
