Should be fine. Hint: I have this line in my /etc/fstab and then can mount it as a normal user. /dev/sdg /media/sansa auto user,noauto,noatime 0 0 $ mount /media/sansa And then the result is: $ mount | grep sansa /dev/sdg on /media/sansa type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=utf8,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro,user=rwp) > I've also did a search on all the directories and sub-directories > inside the Sansa music player but nothing has been found! If you are not seeing any files then I think the mount is failing. You should at least see the basic files of the system. $ ls -laog /media/sansa/ total 1940 drwxr-xr-x 9 4096 Dec 31 1969 ./ drwxr-xr-x 9 4096 Aug 13 23:04 ../ drwxr-xr-x 15 4096 Jul 27 2011 .rockbox/ drwxr-xr-x 2 4096 Apr 16 2012 AUDIBLE/ drwxr-xr-x 3 4096 Sep 8 2012 AUDIOBOOKS/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 114 Dec 31 1979 DID.bin* -rwxr-xr-x 1 1862468 Dec 31 1979 MTABLE.SYS* drwxr-xr-x 20 4096 Nov 6 2011 MUSIC/ drwxr-xr-x 7 4096 Aug 24 17:51 PODCASTS/ drwxr-xr-x 4 4096 Jul 27 2011 RECORD/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 51237 Dec 31 1979 RES_INFO.SYS* -rwxr-xr-x 1 320 Dec 31 1979 SYS_CONF.SYS* -rwxr-xr-x 1 84 Dec 31 1979 version.sdk* Those are all the stock Sansa files. You should have those regardless of other music being there. If you are not seeing those files then you have NOT mounted the audio player. Go down the Sansa software: Settings -> System Settings -> USB Mode AutoDetect MTP MSC <-- You probably have either AutoDetect (the default) or MTP specified. Some systems are confused by this. Set it to MSC to force mass storage class. Then try mounting it again. Bob
