Detecting USB media players (Rhythmbox, Banshee, Amarok)
The GNU/Linux music players can detect USB devices as media-players and playback from them, just by adding a little metadata to the devices' filesystem. Create a file in the root of the filesystem named .is_music_player with the following content:
audio_folders=Music/
Restart Rhythmbox, Banshee or Amarok and you're done!
