So if I stored all of my music on the "first 4GB card", then my W580 can see the files there just fine, problem free. Now if I have to store additional files, then the files would be on the "second 4GB card" since the "first 4GB card" is already full.

Example: Say I'm listening to Linkin Park which is located under the "first 4GB card" and if I decided to listen to Simple Plan which is located in the "second 4GB card", my W580 can find Simple Plan without any problems.

Not exactly 2x4GB (as I indeed had said before). There is only one 8GB volume, the only problem with the phone is that it doesn't show real free space, if it's bigger than 4GB. I.e. when you have more than 4GB of free space, phone always shows there are 4096MB free. In this case the only way to know for sure is to put your M2 in a reader and plug it into the PC. Other than that phone works flawlessly with 8GB M2, at least my K810 does.

Ah I get it now. So it'll still be able to find my Simple Plan fies and work without any problems. Only downside is that it'll read the free space wrong if there's over 4GB free.
