If the Sony software doesn't work in wine you're pretty much screwed unless someone figures out how to reverse engineer it (and survives the resulting lawyer hordes). The Net MD devices aren't anything approaching a standard usb mass storage device. In typical Sony fashion they don't use a vfat file system and they don't play MP3, only a proprietary Sony format called ATRAC (that is encrypted to boot!).

I've tried your suggestion Mike, but no luck. I unplugged the USB cable after the desktop was booted up, then plugged the USB back in. Nothing special happened - no auto mount.
I did find reference to a file format called "usbdevfs" So, I tried out the command "mount -t usbdevfs usbdevfs /target_directory". I was able to see some directories then, but could not determine what the file types were, and could not write to the directory. I don't even know what file format the Mini Disk player supports (I'm guessing MP3).
so, I've made some progress but not enough. Maybe the roommie's
girlfriend
will just take the thing to work with her and handle it there... Then again, I'm sure I'll need to know this sooner or later...
Thanks for the tips, and any more are still welcomed.

I've recently installed Suse on my roommates computer. Now his girlfriend is whining that she can't tranfer music to her mini disk player. I've found a passing reference saying that I should be able to access it via /dev/dsp1. I've tried a mount to this device, and was told the device is not a block file format. So I tried "mount -t usb /dev/dsp1 /target_directory" and was told that USB is not supported with my
kernel.
I guess the first question is what is the correct what to access this
device? It's a Sony MD-N707.
The second question, is that if USB is a valid file format for the
mount command, shouldn't it already be accessible through the kernel? What options would I need to set in "make menuconfig" to enable this
option? Any input is appreciated. My experience with mini disk players
is non-existent.
I'm not sure I can help here, but I have a Fuji Camera that is run off
USB.
When I hook up the cable and turn on the Camera it will "hotplug" and automajically adds a Konqueror link to the desktop (after a few seconds it beeps) that is already mounted and ready to browse to the device. I'm running SuSE 8.2 and it finds USB connections fine. I have never had to do a mount on the camera manually.
I wonder if you can try to hookup the Minidisc player first, then turn it on and see what happens?? Just a thought...
