Since updating to JellyBean, my playlists keep disappearing!

For some reason, since the update, whenever I unmount and remount my ext SD card, it wipes out my playlists! The Playlist title is there, but all the songs are gone, and I have had to re-add them about 5 different times now. I know the SD cards got renamed after the update, and it took me a while to get everything back to normal, except the playlist problem. The only song that still shows an a playlist, is the only one I bought from the Play Store, all the others are on my ext SD which I copied from my home music. It all worked fine with ICS...

It does the same with either Google Play Music or a addon like Android Music. I even tried moving Android Music app from Phone to Internal Storage, and it makes now diff.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

Which phone model you have and was updated to Jelly Bean?

Hi Ann,

My phone is a Droid Razr

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I was having some trouble logging in.

Just to give a little more insight, whether I unmount/mount the sd card, or plug my phone into a computer, which I guess automatically unmounts the sd card from the phone so the computer can access it, it wipes my playlists.

But, if I turn the phone off, take the sd card out and put in the the computer that way, it won't affect my playlists.

Hoping either Verizon or Android has a fix for it...

Can you move the playlists to the internal storage and see that helps? For your description of the phone unmounting the card when plugged into the computer is correct. The card is unmounted from the phone so the computer can access the card.

PS. I think that was very rude of you to branch that other person's post just because you didn't like it. They had created another discussion to ask their question earlier.
