Files disappear after copy from windows - R9

[Guest theblueraja]

Hi All,

Bit of a strange one going on here, if i copy music across to my SDCard by mounting the phone via USB and selecting Disk Drive via Windows i find my playlist files disappearing from the music directory.

Say i have the following:-

Music Folder/Music

music.m3u

If i copy this to the Music folder on the phone via windows i can see it all being copied, its there, but when i unmount the phone and load up a music player all the .m3u files that i have just copied disappear.

Stranger than that, if i copy the files i can open them no problem from the music folder, traverse up a driectory and come back in and their still there. I can even unmount the device and remount the drive and they will still be there.

Its only when i try to access them via the phone they disappear (Music player, Astro etc) - WTF?

Any ideas?

Sorry for re-opening this thread, but i have this problem on my DHD. I copied some m3u files to my sd card and after disconnecting the phone from my Ubuntu PC, those m3u files disappears.

I tried to create m3u file in ES File Explorer, saved it and reopen the directory, where i saved the file.. and guess what.. the file wasn't there.

What am i doing wrong? Why is this happens?

Thank You for any answer.

For now, i placed '.nomedia' file into the directory with m3u files and they are still there..wohooo... but it's not the victory.. i found this and it's bigger problem as it looks.
