Music player can't find music after Droid X upgrade to 2.3.3

Last night my Droid X auto-upgraded to Android 2.3.3 (system version 4.5.605.MB810.Verizon.en.US)   Now the Music player can't find most of the music on the SD card, and what little it has found has a random list of album titles and artists, not even pointing to the correct song (e.g., a song by Ella Fitzgerald has Bruce Springsteen listed as the artist, and an "untitled" album.

 

Anyone else have this problem, know of a solution short of complete reload of music? (I have 23GB music on my SD card)

Hunting around some other forums, found out you can delete the music player database and force a rebuild - that solved this problem - evidently the media player database got corrupted during the upgrade.  Here is the solution:  From homepage, menus-->settings-->applications-->manage applications.  Under the All Applications tab, select Media Storage, then clear data.  Then force a rescan of SD card (with, for example, SDrescan from Android Market).  The rescan took a couple of hours, but rebuilt the corrupted data so now the music player works just fine!
