Adrian,

Sorry no one's replied, I think it's just that no one knows what to do
with it because no one has one of these  :-)

The best way to get support in Amarok would be one of two ways: write a
script using the scripting interface; or, if you want it to be a
first-class Collection, create a FDI file for HAL that gives it the
appropriate information so that Solid (and then Amarok) can detect it.
(If it just shows up as a mount point, HAL won't detect it, and it'll
have to either be treated as a generic mass-storage USB device or
handled by a custom script).
