The reason is that, I have a Nokia E51, which plays music fine, and detects as a usb storage device. Making hal detect it makes it easier to transfer tracks with rhythmbox. My brother also has a Nokia 5310 express music which (obviously) plays music fine, and is detected as usb storage device. My flatmate has a Nokia 5220 Express Music... the list goes on. I can make and submit patches for these, but I wonder if it will get out of hand to simply submit a new patch for every mp3 playing usb device I happen to come into contact with. [I do know about the ".is_audio_player" trick, it just kind of gets annoying to have to make a new one every time you format the device because some malware-infested windows box messed things up] Any info would be appreciated. <TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> <IMG SRC="http://nucco.org/files/nucc2.png" ALIGN="bottom" ALT="pic" BORDER="0"><A HREF="http://traversingmind.blogspot.com">Fanen Ahua</A> Random quote: Eat right, stay fit, and die anyway. </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>
