It arrived!

My 6GB MP3 player/recorder has arrived! Photos to follow.

Linux doesn't seem to want to talk to it, or my USB camera. Time to join the linux-usb mailing list, I think...

Does /proc/bus/usb have anything useful in it? Obvious, but: does your kernel have USB support?

USB under Linux isn't that hard. What got me when I got my digital camera was no-one had ever tried to use that model before, and the gphoto developers had spelt its name wrong in the recognition code.

Might be able to give you a hand, I'll see if I can find the document I wrote after much research at work getting our webcams to work in linux. Seems like a similar problem. There were a few patches I found really helped. I'll email you a copy later

This month's "Linux Format" has an article that may be of use to you, about personal jukeboxes and linux. Maybe you need the cpqpjb-xxx.o kernel module. Websites mentioned include <http://sourceforge.net/projects/libnjb/> and <http://sourceforge.net/projects/openpjb/>.
