Bug Description
Binary package hint: hal
When plugging in a "Lavod" MP3 player, it is only detected as USB disk (Mass Storage Device); i.e. it is not displayed with music player icon, and Rythmbox is not started automatically. The player is a 256MB MP3 player with the name "Lavod" on its cord. I have no idea what model it actually is. After testing, it seems to support MP3 files for playing and WAV files for recording (with built-in microphone). WMA doesn't seem to be supported.
This happens on a standard Ubuntu Dapper installation.

Attached is a .fdi file which makes HAL detect the player as music player. It is based on the contents of the standard 10-usb- music-players. fdi . After putting this file into /etc/hal/ fdi/information , restarting HAL, and plugging in the player, it was displayed with Ipod icon, and Rythmbox was opened.
Could you add this fdi info to the HAL package in Dapper?
