where are the files your putting in the SD card located? make sure you're transferring the music files themselves and not just shortcuts to them like itunes does.
also, just to make it easier I always create a folder in the SD and call it "Music". Just makes it easier to manage I think.

You didn't get a cheap SD on ebay did you? SD size is easy for people to screw with and you could have gotten a 2GB SD thinking you were getting a 32GB one.

This. There are MANY MANY fakes on ebay. It's so easy for these scammers to take a 2GB card and paint on a small number 3 to make it look like a 32gb card.

They also fake the internals of the card so that it reports a fake size to the device it's plugged into. And then you download 32GB of data to it and it just overwrites the same 2GB over and over again.

Always buy SD cards from reliable sources.

also, have you tried just opening the defualt music player and just leaving it a while, i have 16GB, and when i first transfered ( to a folder call Music on the SD root ) all my music it, it took about 15 minutes to actually "build" the library
