You can put a file named ".is_audio_player" in the root folder of your
player and use it to set some parameters. See the following page for a
description of all parameters, and the content of this file for my
Sansa e280 :
http://www.floccinaucinihilipilification.net/wiki/index.php/.is_audio_player_file_format

I think there was a bug when the folder_depth is not set, and I 'm not
sure it's fixed in banshee 1.4.3. If things don't work as expected,
you might want to try to also add "folder_depth=2" to your
.is_audio_player file.
