Greetings all. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, new person here.
I have a Samsung Dart Phone and SD Card which I now use just for music (it's probably 5-6 years old now and sometimes I really want to switch my SIM card back to it, it was fantastic and small/compact, but I digress).
It appears that the SD card on it is not syncing up new music/files that I am adding when connected via USB cord. It acts like it reverts or updates to a previous date. This started happening I'd say about 1 1/2 months ago. Has plenty of music on it already, but again nothing new I add to it will sync.
I validated this even further by buying two new songs online and downloading to my computer and trying to copy them over to the phone this evening, and the same results (or lack thereof).
I tried doing a few things - copying/backing up my music then doing a factory restore of the device, clearing the cache on the Music app on the device did no good, then experimenting this evening I performed a Factory Restore.
This seems to do the job, it takes some time but once the phone gets going again, I can plug it into my computer via USB, and then all my music I have on the SD card - old and new, gets recognized.
However, this is just a band-aid solution.
If I turn the device off then back on, the SD card goes back to its previous behavior, and won't sync anything new again. Basically I'd have to keep restoring factory default settings.
I certainly don't mind doing this for the time being as again I just use the device for music, but there has to be some better alternatives. Is my SD card just simply old/corrupt?
