Most of those devices require that their files need to be in a certain 
directory for them to see the files. For instance, my camera will not see 
any files that aren't in the \dcim\100olymp directory on the smartmedia 
card ... any files (in this case, .tif, .jpg or .mov) in any directory 
above or below this it just ignores. Have you tried copying files to the 
MP3 player using its docking station (and verified that the MP3 player can 
see them) then viewed the card in your computer?

It may be more worth your while trying to fix that ... IIRC on the L50 the 
connector is held together by little plastic rivets which can be popped off 
easily enough ... then push the broken bit out and glue it back together.

If you can't get the SM idea working then that may be what you have to do 
but that surprises me because the whole point of SM cards is 
interoperability. You may wish to check the Creative website to see if 
perhaps there are any other issues involved (for instance perhaps the MP3 
player is in fact expecting some sort of compressed file format other than 
.mp3 which it automatically converts when you load it, and which you'd need 
to convert yourself if you were writing straight to the card) ...
