How are you adding music?
Can your phone support a 2gb card?
Did you try to reformat the card? If so, what does it say for free space in Windows?

any device that uses a memory card can reformat it.
what kind of phone is this? are you sure its the proper format for your phone? (ie. FAT32)

If its verizon it should be in a similar place of other phones.
Check Settings\>Memory\>Card Memory and then there might be an options tab at the bottom to format the card.
On my Samsung its Menu\>Settings and Tools\>Memory\>Card Memory and in that menu I press the right top button and a submenu pops up with FORMAT CARD on it.

check your manual or google for the pdf. any device that uses external memory has a way to format it so it can use it.
