If the player appears to the operating system as a USB mass storage device,
you should be able to mount its file system and copy files in the usual way,
e.g., with the cp command.

Connect it to a USB port and then check your kernel logs (tail
/var/log/messages for example). If it's a mass storage device, it should be
assigned a device name and you can just use the mount command as you normally
would.

If it isn't a USB mass storage device, then somebody may have to write a
driver. In either case, this probably isn't the right mailing list to carry
forward the discussion, since the problem isn't Orca-related.
