+<p>You can have an application automatically start when you plug in a device
+or insert a disc or media card. For example, you might want your photo organizer
+to start when you plug in a digital camera. You can also turn this off, so that
+nothing happens when you plug something in.</p>
 
 <p>To decide which applications should start when you plug in various devices:</p>
 
 <steps>
- <item>
-  <p>Click your name on the top bar and click <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p>
- </item>
- 
- <item>
-  <p>Click <gui>Removable Media</gui> and change the options under <gui>Select how media should be handled</gui>.</p>
-  <p>Instead of simply starting an application, you can also set it so that:</p>
-  <list>
-   <item><p>The device will be shown in the File Manager (choose <gui>Open folder</gui>).</p></item>
-   <item><p>You will be asked what to open (<gui>Ask what to do</gui>).</p></item>
-   <item><p>Nothing at all will happen (<gui>Do nothing</gui>).</p></item>
-  </list>
- </item>
- 
- <item>
-  <p>The <gui>Software</gui> option is slightly different from the others - if the computer detects that there is software on a disk that you inserted, it can try to automatically run the software if you like. This is good if you have an application installed on a CD and want it to start when the disc is inserted (for example, a slideshow).</p>
- </item>
- 
- <item>
-  <p>If you don't see the device or media type that you want to change in the list (such as Blu-ray discs or E-book readers), click <gui>Other Media</gui> to see a more detailed list of devices.</p>
- </item>
+  <item><p>Click your name on the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
+  <item><p>Open <gui>Removable Media</gui>.</p></item>
+  <item>
+    <p>Choose an application or action for the desired device or media type. See
+    below for a description of the different types of devices and media.</p>
+    <p>Instead of starting an application, you can also set it so that the device
+    will be shown in the file manager (<gui>Open folder</gui>), you will be asked
+    what to do, or nothing will happen automatically.</p>
+  </item>
+  <item>
+    <p>If you don't see the device or media type that you want to change in the
+    list (such as Blu-ray discs or E-book readers), click <gui>Other Media</gui>
+    to see a more detailed list of devices. Select the type of device or media
+    from the <gui>Type</gui> drop-down and the application or action from the
+    <gui>Action</gui> drop-down.</p>
+  </item>
 </steps>
 
 <note style="tip">
- <title>Don't open <em>any</em> applications automatically</title>
- <p>If you don't want any applications to be opened automatically, whatever you plug in, check <gui>Never prompt or start programs on media insertion</gui> at the bottom of the Removable Media window.</p>

+  <title>Types of devices and media</title>
+  <item>
+    <title>Audio discs</title>
+    <p>Choose your favorite music application or CD audio extractor to handle
+    audio CDs. If you use audio DVDs (DVD-A), select how to open them under
+    <gui>Other Media</gui>. If you open an audio disc with the file manager,
+    the tracks will appear as WAV files that you can play in any audio player
+    application.</p>
+  </item>
+  <item>
+    <title>Video discs</title>
+    <p>Choose your favorite video application to handle video DVDs. Use the
+    <gui>Other Media</gui> button to set an application for Blu-ray, HD DVD,
+    video CD (VCD), and super video CD (SVCD). If DVDs or other video discs
+    do not work correctly when you insert them, see <link xref="video-dvd"/>.</p>
+  </item>
+  <item>
+    <title>Blank discs</title>
+    <p>Use the <gui>Other Media</gui> button to select a disc-writing application
+    for blank CDs, blank DVDs, blank Blu-ray discs, and blank HD DVDs.</p>
+  </item>
+  <item>
+    <title>Cameras and photos</title>
+    <p>Use the <gui>Photos</gui> drop-down to choose a photo-management application
+    to run when you plug in your digital camera, or when you insert a media card
+    from a camera, such as a CF, SD, MMC, or MS card. You can also simply browse
+    your photos using the file manager.</p>
+    <p>Under <gui>Other Media</gui>, you can select an application to open Kodak
+    picture CDs, such as those you might have made in a store. These are regular
+    data CDs with JPEG images in a folder called <file>PICTURES</file>.</p>
+  </item>
+  <item>
+    <title>Music players</title>
+    <p>Choose an application to manage the music library on your portable music
+    player, or manage the files yourself using the file manager.</p>
+  </item>
+  <item>
+    <title>E-book readers</title>
+    <p>Use the <gui>Other Media</gui> button to choose an application to manage the
+    books on your e-book reader, or manage the files yourself using the file manager.</p>
+  </item>
+  <item>
+    <title>Software</title>
+    <p>Some discs and removable media contain software that is supposed to be run
+    automatically when the media is inserted. Use the <gui>Software</gui> option
+    to control what to do when media with autorun software is inserted. You will
+    always be prompted for a confirmation before software is run.</p>
+    <note style="warning">
+      <p>Never run software from media you don't trust.</p>
