CentOS - Dec 2007 - sandisk mp3 player

Hello,
    Got a 2gb mp3 player. The issue is it needs a usb2 card and the only 
available one is on a centos 5.1 box. I was wondering how do i get this 
device to show up? I'd like to share it's directories via samba, so that
windows users can manipulate it's files, add more, etc.
Thanks.
Dave.

it -should- work on USB1, just slower.

but, um, plug it in, it should be visible to centos as a FAT32 USB disk 
drive, you should be able to share that via samba.

It should get ideintified as a USB storage device and get automounted as a DOS 
partition. Not sure how effective samba would be at exporting a mounted DOS 
partion, though.
