Its basically the same..
Whichever has more room? I mean, I guess if you were going to use your sd card in another phone.... otherwise, not really a difference, both should playback perfectly.

Hi I have seen in reviews that the sd card is just for transfering data is this true? e.g. if I put some videos or other files I will have to transfer them to internal storage before opening them?
No sir.
U can play videos directly from ur sd card using third party apps.

Thanks so is that the same for any app? e.g. read ebooks / comics or play mp3s all off the sd card?
The reviews got me worried there but if they just mean you cant install to sd then there is no problem as who is going to need more than 4gb for that.
You can store data on the external sd card and some apps will allow you to choose where it looks for data (vidoes, mp3s, etc.) but you can't install/access apps from the external sdcard. Hopefully ICS will address that issue, but Sony will probably hijack it once again.
I don't know if anybody else has any issues with google music not recognizing music stored on their sd card, if their phone already has internal storage, but I have noticed on my HTC Amaze that google music will only recognize the music on the internal storage and not all of the songs I had on my micro sd. Is it possible to modify google music to read or find music from more than one location on your phone?
PS I have more music than what would fit on the the phones storage so moving songs from micro SD to the phones internal storage would not be an option.
Delete The google music app and then reinstall it from some other source ! Maybe there's some problem in the APK !

I talked to another amaze owner that had the same problem. The issue is that google music will only recognize music files that are saved directly on the root of the SD card. As soon as the files are moved into a folder within the SD card it stops recognizing that the music is there anymore.

what phone do you have? does it have internal storage and a sd card slot? I have it on my nexus one and it has no problem recognizing music on the phone at all. I think something about having more than one storage place makes google music get all weird.

I don't care necessarily about moving apps or the data folder, just want the best script or way to swap the media files and such so I can download things like TED videos or offline songs from Music Unlimited to my much larger micro sd card.
Thanks.
Id like to know if it is possible to move these two apps to my sdcard. Specially spotify because it uses a lot of memory space.
Cheers

Spotify already has your music library on your SD card, you are worried about 40mb?
It may be possible to move it on a clean installation, but you'd have to delete the app to test it out.
How do I know spotify stores the media on my sdcard? And how can I move whatsapp to my external card?
Something is been bothering me since my G3 days, and seems on my V10 has the same reaction.
I am using the STOCK LG MUSIC player, and i have all my Audio Files on the 200GB FREE SD Card.
Every time I unmount the SD card, all the songs I added to my playlists are empty....remounting the SD card doesnt resolve the issue.
Seems I need to re-add all the songs again to those playlists.
Is there a way to back up the Playlist, or to retain all the song listings?
Move them onto the phones storage from SD storage. That will retain them.
Otherwise, reformat the SD card and re add them back onto the card. Sounds like you might have an issue with the card.
