USB Mp3 Player


I'm new to Linux and running Mandrake 9.0 I'm trying to get all my hardware set up. But I don't fully understand how to setup my Mp3 player. From what I've found on the internet it's a RCA Lyra with 128mb. Other people have set theres up as "usb-storage" and I also found someone use "vfat", I understand these options but I don't know how to mount it.

I've tried:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbkey

(usbkey being a dir I made to store the files)

when I do that I get "mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist"

I'm not sure what I need to be mounting, I'm not fimilur with the hole mounting procedures and stuff, if any one has any suggestions of websites too look at that would really help too.

What does /sbin/lsusb say?
What does dmesg say?
What does /sbin/lsmod say?
Do you have a line of usbdevfs in /etc/mtab?
Is sd_mod loading when you type /sbin/lsmod?
What does cat /proc/filesystem lists?

Info

Like I said I'm new to Linux so I don't know what I'm sending you but here is the info you requested. All but the /sbin/lsusb because that file doesn't exist.(Should it????)
Could you tell me what these files are and what I can get from them?

Here is the "dmesg":
