I dolphin, I saw the tumb drive at the same location every time.
(/run/media/bernd/uuid)

This is the way to make a dynamicly changeable device to a fixed one. ;-)

If this is fact, dev should be think about removeable devices with more

Do you (dis)connect it with Amarok running?
No, every time I release the device.
