    I have a Sony Ericsson Vivaz Mobile Phone to which I have added a 32GB Micro SD card. When I transfer music to the card the music only shows up in MENU - ORGANISER - FILE MGR - E: MUSIC CARD. It will play here but NOT in MENU - MEDIA - MUSIC. What am I doing wrong?

    You may need to set up your preferences in your music player so that it checks for music in folders other than the default location in the phone memory.

    Open your music player and look for a 'settings' or 'preferences' option. In there should be an option for specifying new directories containing music.

    Like for example, I have PowerAmp on my phone. When I press Menu -> Settings -> Folders and Libraries, I can specify a directory manually or I can just scan for new music.

    Thanks for help in resolving that issue. Another problem has arisen. I have added music to the micro sd card and the track listing, name etc shows up correctly on the card when viewed on my PC. However when the card is put in the phone the "Artist" is not listed and all the songs (the titles of which are still listed) are lumped into an "Unknown" folder. Music still plays but is not organised properly. Any solution?

    Check "Album Artist" tag is populated.
