I would find it hard to believe its either! As I have these problems on an SGS (not 2), and I doubt so many people would have issues with memory cards?!

Im also having the same problem, I have tried your method and it still doesnt work.
My problem is everytime i transfer/copy music files (mp3) directly into my external 32gb sd card even via kies it goes "file format is not supported" something along the lines of that. But when I copy music directly into my internal memory or through kies it was perfectly with ablum art, artist, ect.
So I then tried to transfer music from my phone to my sd card, then files get a bit corrupted. All the songs will have the same album art, unknown artist and the songs will skip every couple of seconds.
I've been trying to look around the forums with people similar to my problems until I saw daemolition who had the exact same problem, except the method you gave to him still wouldnt work for me.
Im really disappointed and that my 32gb micro sd card is going to waste. Could it be memory card? or the SGS2 is really crap of knowing how to work a sd card properly.
Trust me, i think its your memory card. Just so you know, my problem started again. I tested my memory card only to find out that its 1.8 gb instead of 32gb. Yea, i know the computer reads 32gb but its a trick within the memory card system. Only the 1st 1.8gb of files I put on the card works everything else is copied onto the card as dummy files hence, the missing artist name, file not supported bs.
Use this program H2testw: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/H2testw.shtml
Scan your memory card and it will tell you the real capacity. I switched cards and don't have this problem anymore.
By the way, this issue of counterfeit cards is becoming rampant. Apparently, most memory cards bought on ebay are fake. I'm never buying them on ebay anymore.

Thanks for the tip i'll try it out later, yea I got my memory card from ebay. But it works fine as a storage card though I haven't tried using it on my nintendo ds or brothers phone (which I doubt it could handle a 32gb sd), but I have bought a couple of micro sd cards from the same dealer (smaller capacity) before and it worked fine on my brothers phone and the nds.
Probably the SGS/SGS2 can't handle a 32gb memory card because it seems like a lot of people who uses the same capacity are having similar problems.

Im currently using a smaller capacity memory card right now. Awaiting a 32gb card in the post. So, we'll find out if the sgs2 can handle a 32gb card. Would be pissed off if it doesn't cos it was advertised as such. Maybe its a fault on our particular phones cos i've seen a couple of people here saying they have a 32gb card that works fine.
Test it and let us know the result.

Yea I've tested it and my Sandisk 32gb micro sd was defective and found out it was a fake on ebay!!! For all you people out there be careful when you're buying your sd card on ebay, I recommend to pay a bit extra and buy a genuine at a proper retail shop!
I used my brothers Sandisk 4gb micro sd which was bought at the shops, it works perfectly movies, music, album art, everything. So yea that recommended program helps (h2testw), thanks Daemolition.
All the people having who is having problems transferring and/or working media files on your SGS/SGS2 check your memory card!!! Unless youre having the same problem on the phone than check with Samsung or your dealer.
Daemolition when you get that 32gb micro sd, let me know if works. I think it should be fine.

Got my new 32gb MyMemory memory card yesterday and so far so good, it works perfectly. I've added lots of music and videos which displays properly and plays perfectly now.
