I just started reading _all_ the comments to all the hits I got at the device list when searching for "mp3" and got the jackpot: http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=1974
The previously absolutely not-working "mpX Rome 256MB" was working within seconds (listen up Laurent, this might fix your prob as well):
Just use mtools:
- map /dev/sda1 to c (or whatever letter you like) in /etc/mtools.conf:
# drive c: file="/dev/sda1"
- change the permissions on /dev/sda1: # chmod ugo+rwx /dev/sda1
- plug in the player
- point Konqueror to:
floppy:/c
- and just drag&drop the files onto the player
- (or use the command line mtools instead of Konq)
- unplug the player and have fun
A *zillion* thanks for your perseverance and findings:
This also solves the problem for my Packard Bell 128M AudioKey (((-; ! And it's cool that Konqueror can serve as an interface to mtools, too.
And I filled up the player almost to it's limits - no data loss.
It now works flawless with W2K (with the Manager app and as a storage device) and Linux, so swapping files is no problem at all.
Same here!
So I guess that Linux's default handling of vfat is not as "kosher" (vis-à-vis windows) as mtool's...
Very best regards,
