Hi All,

I am trying to connect my Digital MP3 Player through the USB (version
1.1)
without success. I want to download musics and access into the SD
Memory card.
MP3 characteristics : Digital MP3 Player with 512Mbytes, KOB MP545-512.
I running Fedora Core 4 with Pentium 3 machine.

I was trying to change/copy files into the directory /media/NO_NAME, so

I am no sure if it is the right device or not.

Thanks and any suggestion will be welcomed.
Abdon.

Type "cat /etc/fstab" and look for lines like

/dev/sda /media/usbdisk auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

One of those should be the mp3 player, if it is working and has been
detected. Then "mount /media/usbdisk" (or /media/usbdisk1 or
whichever one it turns out to be) should make its filesystem
available. There is probably a simpler and/or fancier way, but that
should at least make it possible to use it.

I followed the steps what you mentioned and it's working fine. To
modify
slightly the steps (based on Fedora Core 4):

- when the system comes up, don't plug in your MP3 player. You can
leave,
plugged, the USB cable
- Logged in as normal user
- Pluged you MP3 player. If you want more details, see
/var/log/messages files, the device is probing ...
- Then type
> cat /etc/fstab
and look for line like
/dev/sda1 /media/NO_NAME vfat pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

- I just need to mount the device :
> mount /media/NO_NAME

PS: when you want to unpluged and pluged it back, redo the mount again.

Many thanks
Abdon.
