Help Music not showing up on phone

Colekg

Hi,

For some reason my music only shows up for a short period of time after I import it. Using double twist I dropped about 10 albums onto my phone. At first they show up in whatever music player I'm using (winamp,mixzin), but after few minutes they disappear. At that point the newly imported albums only show up in double twist on the phone. In addition the cover art doesn't show up. Even after I get the cover art using cover art grabber or other apps, they don't stay. This is quite frustrating. I am a recent android from iphone convert. I really want to give the nexus s a chance, but if this and a few other things are indicative of the android experience I'm not sure if i'll be able to stick with it. I'm open and willing to try working with the nexus s, but, certain things are irritating to deal with. Thanks for any and all help.
 
I've had the same issue importing music and video from my PC (via USB cable or over WiFi using the phone as an FTP server).

The solution I've found, admittedly a bit of a kludge, is to simply reboot the phone. It seems that "preparing USB storage" during the boot process forces the OS to recognize the new files and folders.

Hopefully someone has come up with a more elegant solution.
