FC6 & iaudio mp3 player (solved?)

[Net Llama!]

I never used FC1 (FC2 was the first that i tried), so i can't comment on 
how it behaved.  However, in my experience, you always need to power on a 
USB device before plugging it in, in order for it to get detected.  If its 
got no power, then there's nothing to power the storage, and nothing to 
mount.  I suspect that whatever window manager that you're using is 
further complicating matters by trying to be smart about automounting 
stuff.  I never use that stuff on my systems.  I just plug in the device, 
power it on, check dmesg to verify that its been detected, and then mount 
it.
