Not enough memory errors- 64GB SD Card

[BronxMountainToad]

I'm really confused with what just happened to my Galaxy player.

Recently, I just outfitted my 3.6 with a new 64GB SD card. I added several GB of music, mounted it, everything's fantastic. My internal memory is 8GB and I only have about 9MB left on it, but it didn't stop it from playing music from either source.

So I add another 500MB or so music just now to the card. Suddenly, I'm getting these "not enough memory" errors whenever I tap the music button. I have about 48GB left on the card so I don't understand how it could be lacking memory.

When I unmounted the card, it played from internal memory just fine.

If I just move stuff from internal to the SD card, will that fix this? Or is there some other way?

I think now that you've gotten that error, you have to use the Galaxy to format the card, while it is mounted....and after that , the whole card should be available to you.

Will formatting the card erase all of its contents? It's not a big deal if it does, but heh after I painstakingly chose what songs to put there...

Yes, it will. But hey, it will be worth it in the end.

Gotcha. Thanks for your help!

And after the card is set, I would move any music you put on the internal memory onto the card.....leave that limited internal space free for apps you might accumulate.

I figured freeing up the internal memory would be a good idea. 99% of the contents are music since I pretty much never have the wi-fi connected but you never know.

How is the screen on the 3.6, decent looking?

It's a clear, bright screen with surprisingly good resolution. Since I bought it primarily as a music player, I don't mind the small screen since the letters are big for the music app and actually a LOT easier to read than iPod screens.

However, I wouldn't recommend it for gaming because images are too small. I downloaded just two games, Angry Birds and Scopa, to test it out and find that it's just too small to really touch things precisely and I had to keep zooming the screen out.
I prefer the Galaxy Tab for games, e-reading, and email, and this nifty 3.6 for music.

I hear you on the Tab...as you can probably guess from reading my sig. (or you can Google the "GT-P6210" from my previous post).

Arrrrgh. After I just wiped the card and the internal memory then laboriously added at least 3,000 songs onto the card...now when I load it with the card mounted, it just says "no music files".

This stupid card is ruining the mood!
