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. It was more helpful when it viewed it as a USB drive so is there a way of changing this? Thanks. Bev.
Check for the auto play handling preferences, which seem to have become more Windows like.
Also, Ubuntu, out of the box, doesn't know how to decode MP3s so you'll need to add the non-free codec package(s) : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
Hope this helps, Tim.
