Michael,

I'm taking the discussion back to the list as it might be of use to
someone else.

I am running Amarok 2.3.1 under KDE 4.4.3. After I plug the player in,
it appears alongside "Local Collection", under "Local Music" in the
Media Sources tab.

I have pasted a screenshot here: http://imagebin.ca/view/hGkwpHf6.html

Indeed, now I'm seeing it, too. I had enabled "Merged View" (rightmost
button in the toolbar for "Local Music") and in that view mode there is
no indication at all that an external device has been detected and
mounted.

Thanks for being persistent enough to convince me.

Michael

Cool!

I didn't even know that such a Merged View existed, so thanks for
pointing that out too!
