Banshee uses it to interface with media players. If yes, and if your device is indeed a mass storage media player, it's probable not recognized as such by HAL. The proper way would be to update HAL's configuration files. This page seems to be a good post about this : http://blog.pcode.nl/2006/08/introducing-hal-to-your-digital-audio-player You could also add a ".is_audio_player" file at the root of your device. This page describes what you can put in that file : http://www.floccinaucinihilipilification.net/wiki/index.php/.is_audio_player_file_format -- Bertrand Lorentz <bertrand lorentz gmail com> > http://flickr.com/photos/bl8/ <
