[SOLVED] MP3 player not recognised

Hi
My old Samsung MP3 player is not being recognised in Zorin 6.
When I look in Computer it's not there, but if I plug in a memory stick it see's it straight away.
The MP3 player is recognised in XP and used to be ok in Mint 11.
If I type lsusb in a terminal it shows the device.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Also please post the outcome of "lsusb" so as we may see as well how the device (ID) is recognised.

Here's the outcome of lsusb

Code:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04e8:503b Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd YP-U1 MP3 Player

Thanks

I found this in Ubuntu forums but not sure how to create a file /etc/modprobe.d/coby-option.conf as suggested.
Any ideas?

Could you please try out this for me.

1) Plug the mp3 player in various USB ports. Try all of them to see if you get any different result.
2) If not, plug it in, open terminal and write

Code:

sudo modprobe usb-storage

And see if the mp3 player is recognized.


3) If still not, and following the instructions in the topic you found, do the following:

Open terminal and write:

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/coby-option.conf

In the blank file that will open, copy and paste the following line

options usb-storage quirks=04e8:503b:mw

Save, exit and then in terminal again give the following commands.

Code:

sudo modprobe -r usb-storage
sudo modprobe usb-storage
