Sorry for the delay, I normaly do respond faster, but the mail I sent a few days ago was rejected because it was an HTML mail. Here again the data I get from lsusb and /proc/bus/usb/devices. I think the FAQ was not very specific on what information is actually needed, or I was to stupid to find it, but I hope this helps a litle. Actually this might be interesting for some more people in Germany since this mp3 player was sold rather cheaply at a popular grocery chain last week. So probably lots of people got one.
Thanks again Ralph -----Original Message----- From: Gauges, Ralph Sent: Thu 12/5/2002 9:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Linux-usb-users] unknown usb-storage device Thank you for the fast answer. Actually I have not been using USB very much and I just assumed that this mp3 player might work as an USB storage device since a lot of the other mp3 players seem to work that way, judging from some of the mailing list etc. I have read the FAQ already, at least parts of it and I know that my player is not in the device list. The vendor is because it is recognized as being manufactured by samsung ( vendorID 0x04e8), although some other company sells the thing and probably just uses some samsung chip (again my assumption). I included the output from /proc/bus/usb/devices of my 2.4.19 kernel (as mentioned in the FAQ) and also the verbose output (-vv) of lsusb. Maybe this will help. I did not say that the player came with a windows driver, but with windows software. I just installed that when I came home and I don't think a special driver was installed for the device, although I did not check explicitely. I had to reboot afterwards, so it might have installed a driver, but I doubt it. I bought this player knowing full well that it probably will not work under linux and since I am not planing to install new songs every other day, I can live with booting windows once in a while. I just thought it might be nice to do all the stuff under linux. I really appreciate the your help, but if there is no easy way to get it to work, so be it. I would love to play around with the libusb and try to get it to work, but realistically I don't have the knowledge nor the time to really spend a lot of work on that.
