Help Music randomly appears and disappears

My 3 week old S3 has developed a new annoyance. When I go into the Google Play (or the Samsung music player) around 75% of my music is usually missing. Doesn't happen every time, but definitely most of the time. There's no pattern to it. When it happens, my options are:

  1. Wait a couple of hours.
  2. Reboot (doesn't always work)
  3. Applications -> Media Storage -> Clear data (usually works)
There's nothing wrong with the card or the data. When I access the card using My Files or the like the data is there, so obviously it is a problem with Android's indexing.


Any suggestions before I return it, or maybe just throw it against a wall? Is Android and/or the S3 simply incapable of indexing - and then maintain that index - of 25+ gigs of music?
