Music files still played, but i had to disconnect from usb if i wanted to navigate to a particular song quickly. Problem lies here: when i disconnected, it renamed internal storage to internal storage2 and had a system folder called internal storage. the internal storage2 has the micro sd logo next to it, indicating to me that its the one i wanted. After trying to sync my phone unsuccessfully today, i noticed that there was a disk drive j under "my computer." It has the files i want, but file explorer refuses to show it. i tried formatting it from "my computer" and although formatting worked, file explorer still has yet to recognize the card. any help? oh! the first time i disconnected phone from usb, it told me what my treo used to whenever i popped my sd card back in. " it looks like you've inserted an external storage device. would you like windows to search for audio and video files?" or something like that.

this is just a shot in the dark but sounds like when you hook up your diamond to your stereo it is putting a write/read lock on the actual internal storage. however, you phone is still needing to use that internal storage because a program on your phone is writing to it or polling it. when that happens and the phone cannot access the internal storage it is creating a system folder and naming it "internal storage". i dont know anything about those new fangled stereo, much less these phones, but see if there are options avaible on how the stereo accesses an external storage device. sorry i'm not much help.
