Hi folks. I'm trying to put my 6000+ mp3 collection on a 64GB microSD card (class10) and I can transfer them fine on my computer but when I go to view the folder on my phone it says there is nothing in it while my pictures folder (3GB) on the same card on the same phone shows everything fine. Using stock Android 4.1.2 on LG Optimus Pro G. Am I hitting some subfolder limitation or something? Thanks.

No. Sometimes Android doesn't like the format the card uses. Mainly due to licensing by MS. Try this: back up what you do have on the card, and reformatting the card to NTFS and see if that helps.
 
Hey Golfdriver97, does Android support NTFS on SD? I thought it was only FAT32.

I have heard that the other main format, exFAT (which is sometimes used on these big 64GB cards) can cause problems with Android devices, so check to see if it's exFAT.

Its an option. I think easiest for Android, but not the best. Exfat has licensing issues with MS.
