I could not get gphoto to compile, so I couldn't access my Canon Elph Powershot 300. However, the people at Ritz Camera gave me the Sandisk reader free with the camera, so rather than struggle with gphoto, I just plugged in the Sandisk and everything worked. Now that I see how effective this thing is I'm tempted to get an MP3 player to go with it. The main thing stopping me is that I want something that plays Ogg Vorbis instead of or in addition to MP3.
