I see on youtube it recommends to clean the sdcard with toothpaste or isopropyl alcohol and dry with clean cloth

Use a cotton bud and a small amount of alcohol on the contacts only.

Inspect the contacts first with magnifying glass to see the surfaces. I'd stay away from toothpaste for the moment.

Also, inspect the card slot for fluff etc. that might be preventing contact.

the card slot is ok it works on the other sdcard

i just would like to get back 21 gig of mp3 music podcast files

Have you inspected/cleaned the contacts on the card itself yet?
