Help Media Scanning not working properly after USB Connection?

Hi all, I use the mass storage utility to transfer music quite often to my sd card. It's through settings>more>usb utility>connect to PC. I did a few experiments to recreate the problem. Its happens after I transfer some music over, use the safety remove on the pc and disconnect from usb storage option on the phone. It will say "preparing usb storage, sd card" on the notification area and after thats done I go to music player and it will be all empty. The Gallery will be empty too. I save all my music and pics etc on my SD card. Then after I connect and disconnect it through the same way again, my music and pictures shows up again, but my all music playlists will have gone down the drain because all the songs in it will go missing and I got to redo the playlists.

I noticed that it randomly happens and I've done a hard reset of the phone and sd card but the same thing happens. What's wrong with the media scanner? Can I fix this? Does anyone have the same problem? I'm on ICS 4.03 if it helps. Thanks.
 
and sometimes after i disconnect it only detects the new music and media i've added but not both new and old media in the sd card. So either it detects nothing or just the new stuff. Anyone???
