Hi Saul, I sent a reply to youre email to me. Here is my fstab ...

For an MP3 device, the setting may well be the same as mine for the digital camera. Try making a foldermedia-mp3 or a foldermnt-mp3, then modify your fstab to read something like:

dev-sdb1 mnt-mp3 vfat rw,defaults, 0 0

and see what happens. I tinkered around with using auto instead of vfat but my os was happy with vfat since the camera is a vfat device, evidently.

Cheers,

Dave
