Currently, Banshee considers USB mass storage devices to be potential
Digital Audio Players (DAP). We have to filter somehow, because you
probably don't want any newly mounted filesystem to appear as a DAP in
Banshee.
There's a bug about that, with a patch to remove that restriction :
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581018
I'm not sure about the implications, so feedback on that is welcome !

You might also be interested in the FolderSync extension, which is
part of the "Banshee Community Extensions" project. See this thread
for more details about what it does:
