@BradReed: "File explorer recognises Storage Card, and I can play files from explorer on 
WMedia, however W Media 'Storage Card' library option is not available (only 
detects 'My Device').  I see threads re the deletion of a certain file, but 
this did not work depite soft resets etc.  WM 5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 
14983.161.120.155) and ASync Version 4.2.0 (Build 4876) on both PC and Notebook.
Is there any help available for this problem.  Manually selecting tracks is 
maddening!"
    @KevMan: "I was just mucking around with this problem a bit more and reading other 
threads...  I deleted the MSMETADATA folder on the storage card using File 
Manager (there were no files in it and I'm not sure this was required to fix 
my problem).  I then did a soft reset (again, not sure if this was required 
to fix my problem).  I then went into Windows Media Player and selected 
Menu->Library.  Then selected Menu->Update Library.  It proceeded to search 
through the storage card and recognised all of my media. Click Done and then 
the Storage Card selection is available again.
Worked for me, I still don't know why it disappears occasionally.  Maybe 
occurring after I sync with windows vista using the beta of Mobile Device 
Centre but that is just a guess (I haven't been sync'ing that often recently 
which may explain why it has only dissappeared occasionally [only had phone 
and vista for 4 weeks]).
There is now a file in the MSMETADATA folder called XMEMediaLitrary.mlb.  I 
haven't looked at what is in it but I assume file locations etc.
Hope this helps."
    @bonna: "Hi I have an orange spv M3100 with the problem.  Soft resets deleting files 
not working, please let me know if you find a solution.

    @hiitgy2k85t6: "Same problem, Cingular 8525, 2g microsd card shows up fine in fil
explorer but doesn't show up in windows media. Manual library updat
finds alot of files but hangs with one blue block during the "add
phase of the search and update.
Deleting the hidden MSMETADATA folder located on the storage card an
doing a soft reset worked for me.
I had had a problem with the microsd being "stuck" in the slot and ha
CARFULLY levered it out using a knife. I also updated the chip using 
microsd reader attached to my laptop. Lastly, I had mucked about 
little with "media" syncing in activesync 4.2.
Any of these operations might have caused the problem. My gut is tha
it was the activesync media crap that really did it though

delete the MSMETADATA directory in the root of Storage Card you'll b
able to update the library successfully. Strange but true
