Plugging in a generic MP3 player, I see that 8.04 no longer treats it as a USB drive and says it can't play what's on there without searching for codecs etc. Given that it's all in MP3 format this must be nonsense.

mp3 is a patent encumbered file format, ubuntu doesn't carry the required codecs in the default install (probably) read:
