Open the terminal window.
Type "tail -f /var/log/messages"
Plug your player in and you'll see the log changes "in real time". You'll find there the dev name of your plugged-in player. Say, /dev/sdh.

Then make a directory, let it be /media/player. And mount (as root, or using sudo) your device to that directory:

Code:

mount /dev/sdh /media/player

.

There may be some variations, like /dev/sdh1 or /dev/sdc and so on.
To unmount yor device, do:

Code:

umount /dev/sdh

PS: maybe you'll need to specify the FS type while mounting. I'm sure, it's FAT32. "mount -t vfat ..." will be OK . Consult man mount for more info.

can let this command run a terminal:

Code:

tail -f /var/log/messages

then plug your walkman in
then post the output that appears in the terminal
EDIT: I now see someone told you already

I have a sony and unless you press >control>alt while dragging the files in it only copies the medias information and not the actual media. The songs title etc will be in the players folder but not the actual song.
