I'm guessing that this is a generic USB mass storage device (not MTP
or something else). Rhythmbox gets information about supported formats
from HAL, so it sounds like the HAL device info is incorrect.

You can override the HAL device info using a .is_audio_player file, as
described here: http://live.gnome.org/Rhythmbox/FAQ
