Re: mp3 Player

Just so I know - your MuVo thingy is it a USB device?  It is anything more (to 
Linux) than a mass storage device?  

Does the software you use with it have a config file?  The rest of this email 
is wrtten vwnting off as if the sotware does, so if it hasn't, there's no 
need to read any further...

I have posted about USB before:

when I upgraded from 8.2 -> 9.0 a USB printer that was working, stopped

when I upgraded from 9.0 -> 9.1 it started working again

however a USB scanner that was working in 9.0 stopped working in 9.1
(I await 9.2)

both the device drivers, have config files, of course.  For the scanner I did 
receive considerable advice from one person on this list but to no avail.

I've made my 2 pence suggestion before, to some derision, but I'll suggest 
again, that I think that some clerical or similar errors are creeping in 
between upgrades (not surprising in one sense this is a big impressive 
distro)

For example plustek.conf suggests that "device" should look like 
dev/usbscanner but now scanners are organised into /dev/usb/scanner0 ([1],
[2], etc)

the plustek file had a line

device auto 

which couldn't pick up the scanner (even though it had been detected by 
sane-find-scanner and during boot)

naturally I punted with replacing  device auto with usb/scanner0 etc but to no 
avail 

USB printers are similarly organised (and in 9.0 the command line example is 
the SUSE helpfile on usb printers worked for dev/usbprinter but not for 
dev/usb/printer)
