Bug Description
My old MP3MAN 1/2 gig mp3 player is able to be renamed in Windows but not in Ubuntu. I'm not sure if this is something that all players can do but it is something that could be well worth looking into (as I don't have a windows machine my mate renamed mine and I have a new samsung player now, for it's ogg support). Effectively in windows you right click on the player icon and hit rename and the player retains that name when you plug into any machine (I will send a screen shot) so mine now says DAVES MP3 rather than mp3man.
This is not an urgent bug by any means but it is one thing I noticed that can't yet be done. I want to see bug 1 stripped out as soon as possible but it is always the little things that annoy people.
* From duplicate bug #388207, I add emphasis that volumes should be re-namable using right-click. This may be obvious, but "let the record show" that volumes should act like all other files with respect to renaming.

It would be nice if hal would export a dbus function API for changing the label of a volume. nautilus could then call this through gnome-vfs2 to provide intuitive changing of labels with F2 or 'Rename' on a volume icon.
