I received my long-anticipated SanDisk mp3 player (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16855125004) in the mail yesterday. Unfortunately, it won't mount to my Kubuntu box. The Storage Media applet doesn't recognize it, even though it recognizes my old MSI MegaStick 128 (http://www.pcuniverse.com/product.asp?pid=3196788&m_id=32) with no problem. I've run dmesg to see about the device's possible address, but I can't find anything related to the player in the output:

I don't have a big problem manually mounting things (even if the Storage Media applet has spoiled me since my Gentoo days), but I can't even figure out the device name. I'm guessing that it uses a FAT32 filesystem, but that doesn't seem to be helping me out, either.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

I read the first document in its entirety and skimmed the second one. I very much enjoyed the reading and certainly plan to set up a node for my player in the future. Thank you.

However, I believe I may have missed something vital, or perhaps you misunderstood my problem: I cannot find a device name for my player, so I cannot begin to mount it or set up a device node for it.

I don't see it in dmesg output, but then again, that may be an inadequate way of looking for it. What can I do?

Nevermind! It just started working! This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Hell, it even worked via the Storage Media applet! :)

Thanks for taking the time to help me! :)

I have a limited explanation to the "mysteriously fixed" phenomenon. Whenever I plug the player into my computer's USB port, it does one of two things:

90% of the time: The unit turns on as though I just pressed the "play/pause" button, and the track remains paused and ready to play.

10% of the time: The unit registers "USB Connect" on its display, and KDE's Storage Media applet recognizes it with no problem.

So basically, every time I want to transfer new music or other types of files, I have to plug the player in, unplug it after an unsuccessful connection, turn it off, plug it in again, etc. over and over again. I know of no explanation for this, but it certainly does suck to have to screw around with this. So basically, after plugging/unplugging it, it eventually "just worked." :confused:

I hope this thread proves helpful to someone else who's frustrated with their SanDisk SDMX1 or thinking about buying either one of those or a similar model.
