Generic Media Player

For: Mepis Linux

by: Je.saist

I think this is going to be one of the shortest guides I've ever done. While writing the Amarok Usage guide it occurred to me that plugging in a USB Media Player would appear differently to the user. So, how differently? Well, this is using my Iriver H320 and showing what happens when I just plug it in using the DATA connection.

(wonder if Apple would ship me an Ipod to write guides for... Although I would attempt to write Guides for Zune to)

1: Not so stock Mepis Desktop. Yeah, I need better icons for Kompozer and Quanta.

I'm just going to go ahead and plug my Iriver into the USB port.





2: The KDE Daemons are pretty good about picking up on a new device. 





3: Now, do keep in mind that you can disable this screen. There is an option to Always do this for this type of media.

If you want Mepis to take a specific action every time you plug your player up, check that box.





4: For me though, I'm going to leave the box unchecked, Open in a New Window selected.

Then I'm going to Left Click on Ok.





5: There are the contents of my player.





6: Alright, enough of that. I'm closing Konqueror





7: Your media player should also have an Ipod Like Icon on the desktop.

Mousing over the icon should give you drive information.



(Just for reference, you can thank Ryan for maxing the contents of the drive. I think he put all of OC Remix on here. Although, that really isn't a bad thing)

I want to see the Amarok Usage Guide.

Take me back to the Guides.
