Have you tried to run the media scanner to see what if that works?
It's dev tools->media scanner.

If that doesn't work do you have some special characters in the file names? I 
had
problems with this when removing all special characters it worked for me. You 
can see
in the logcat what songs it doesn't like.

If you still can't get it to work can you post a logcat from when you run the 
media
scanner?

The media scanner worked, thank you!
Why isn't the media scanner integrated into the media player?

And why the audio is so quiet? On SHR I used to get twice the volume...

The media scanner is supposed to be run when it detects the card, sometimes it 
seems
to fail. Will close this now I don't think we got any good way to debug the 
problem
to fix it.
