Questions to ask yourself.

What file system does it have on it? Such as FAT32. And can I mount it to a directory.

Can I find it with fdisk, lsblk, dmesg -W, lsusb.

Or is it an mtp device. Can I use an mtp client to mount it.

Edit:
When I plug it in, what device node is it.

It depends on the model of player. Some have the capability of MSC mode i.e. looks like a regular flash drive, some are MTP only and some could be switched between the two modes.

You might have to install the mtp-tools package before the player is recognized.

I installed mtp-tools using Synaptic package manager. Now, how do I use it? Smiles

You have to use sudo fdisk i.e.
sudo fdisk -l

What desktop are you running?
apt install gvfs-mtp

The file browser should automatically mount the player.
