Both my digital camera and MP3 player show as drive F on my computer (I haven't
tried both at the same time).

What are the properties of the mysterious "I am not a drive" MP3 player in My
Computer? (meaning right-click, Properties).

Right-clicking on it only shows 3 items: "Open", "Explore", and
"Format..."

My camera appears in "My Computer" with it's name followed by a "(G:)"
suffix, letting me know that it's the G: drive, but my MP3 player only
has it's name, without a drive letter suffix.

I think the problem may be is that the MP3 player is set up as a
device, not as a disk. So...

a) You would need to write a device driver to access it. VB is out on
that score and without knowing how the device works.. well, it's nigh
impossible.
b) Try and enumerate all the devices and see if you can find the MP3
player's installed device driver. Then you may be able to communicate
with it. But then again, what do you say to it even if you find it ?

x)Another possible solution may be to contact the vendor of the player
and see if they can give you an idea at least, or maybe they could
even have an SDK available if you are really lucky..

z) Get another MP3 player that shows up as a disk. ;-)

Well, what happens when you click Open? Explore? I would not myself go clicking
Format...
Does it open in an Explorer window, or is it all in its own software?
