"Hidden" file on memory card by ryxdp on 03-01-2008 at 05:19 AM

I have a Samsung SGH-E250 phone, and got a 1GB Kingston MicroSD card to put my music on, however, one of the tracks isn't showing up, although it isn't hidden in explorer.

At first I thought it was an illegal character (It's a Tiesto remix), but it still didn't show up.
It's not a size restriction because I have bigger mp3's on the card, the phone just doesn't want to see it. I can't figure out why this is happening, as the ID3 tags and everything check out and the mp3 plays (obviously) fine.

Any ideas as to what's happening?

I'm gonna assume that it's in the same folder etc...

Also, if you're only trying in the media player on your phone, you may need to tell it to play all songs again (ie on my Sony Errcisson w880i i have to go back into media player and tell it to play all artists > all albums then the track list appears)

If you can't find it in the file manager, you probably won't find that helpful. Make sure the file is not compressed or read-only either as I suppose they could cause errors

Thats the same with my phone.

Btw can you play the file outside your mp3 player? (for example in the gallery on your phone?)

The phone cannot see it. At all. I go into the Memory Card folder, I see the subfolders and everything, but for one file. ISOS 6 Disc 1 has 13/14 files in it though...

can't you check if its corrupt/has a bad extension?
