Indeed ;-). I thought about posting a question regarding this nice gadget
:-)

I have tried getting it up as mass storage device, but had no luck so far.
Regarding the messages in /var/log/messages I do not believe that this player
could be treated as mass storage device, but that was my first try using mass
storage devices, so I may be wrong.

I have used 2.4.20, no differences so far. usbview lists it as "unknown
device".

Under Windoze the player is not treated as a new drive, but is only usable
with this explorer like application. This (in my opinion) also indicates that
this device would not be usable as mass storage device :-(

I also would appreciate if this gadget would be usable under Linux :-).

Sadly the same for me :-(
