Id just like to know if the SD Card works well with your phones. Before there were issues with duplicates and stuff. Thanks for any response!

I upgraded my daughters Lumia 521 with the WP8.1 Developer Preview and I have noticed no duplicate images or songs. She has been taking photos and listening to music without any issues, I even put images on her SD Card with my laptop and all is good.

I don't have any issues at all.

Okay. I was hoping that it got it. The new app, the new black firmware, and Windows 8.1 dev. one of them got it I hope. Ill post if it does corrupt.

How did you sync your music/playlists to get on your Windows Phone?

I use Windows Media Player to sync music and videos. I am not sure how well it would work for playlist, I have never tried it.

Using a Sandisk Class 10 64GB card has yielded absolutely no problems on my Lumia 520 with Music Drop, Windows transfer, or with Mac transfer.

It has been a complete nightmare on my 820, though. I'm not talking just duplicates. Any given song could be multiplied up to 10 times. It's been a complete and utter joke. No problems with a 32GB card.

I have a Sandisk ULTRA class 10 card also. Im going it on a 521 Lumia, so we have basically the same phones and SD Card. Before I would reset id have 6 of the same files for countless songs. So you changed your lumia 820 card to a 32gig memory card and that solved the problem?

It solved the duplicate song problem, but I'm really upset that I had to resort to that. This phone is supposed to support 64GB memory expansion, and it just doesn't do it properly.

 

[Stephen Pedersen]

So chances are I have a defective memory card you think?

 

[tapehead]

It's possible, but Windows Phone's SD card support is extremely buggy and unreliable. Try the card in other devices and see how it performs. Regardless, to fix it, the phone needs to be hard-reset and the card formatted by a PC.

I will say that I found the best support using Music Drop. To date, it is it the only method that didn't yield a single duplicate. Although it doesn't transfer album art, so if you're on 8.1, you're kind of SOL.

What was the make and model of your 32 gig sd card?

Sandisk 32GB class 4.
