Comand: Memory Card "Lost Songs" ----> Solution for problem!
Did anyone have this problem yet:
Initially I loaded about 16 Gb of music on my Flashcard (its a 32 Gb) and it worked fine! Now last time I added some music to on of the 4 main folders I have, and when I inserted it in the system they wouldnt show up!
I tried it again in my PC, and they were on there. On another PC, same story. Then I changed the names of some of the folders, and it appeared to be working again. But now I added some music today, and no music to be found again. But this time renaming the main folders isn't helping anymore.
It looks like a problem that a simple F5 push in windows would solve, but that button is nowere to be found in our cars ofcourse....
Anyone?!

I have same problem, no solution yet with 32GB compact flash card. Reformat, reload files did find more new folders but not all. Only shows 22 folders at root. Something to do with Windows CE not refrashing the directory I guess.

Ok Guys,
well after walking up and down to my car and PC a few times I figures it out!
If this happens to you, just make a new folders and name it whatever you want. Drag all the files out of the old folder in there, then delete the old folder. Rename the new folder to the old folder (or something else, doesnt matter). Et voila!
What happens is that you now actually edit the drives reg-files. Now Comand sees it as a new file, and really checks it for new content.
Still, its weird it doesnt do this automaticly.

Hmmmm. I have noticed a similar issue with missing songs/folders, but I've always been able to correct it by removing the memory card and reinserting it.
On an unrelated note, I've noticed that songs (and maybe folders?) that start with a number don't show up correctly.

I am begining to think that COMAND will only see 16Gb and not the full 32Gb. Thinking about it COMAND has a 255 folder limit and 4000 file limit so I wouldn't be surprised if there is a 16Gb limit as well.
One thing that I have noticed is that if you try to transfer MP3s to the HDD ALL the folders are displayed (even the missing ones) but if you choose one that is not normally displayed it will not copy anything and just seems to get stuck.
