It shows up as a USB drive?

If so, try creating a file named ".is_audio_player" in the top-level
directory of the USB drive.  Within that file, place the following:

audio_folders=MUSIC/,RECORDINGS/
folder_depth=2
output_formats=application/ogg,audio/x-ms-wma,audio/mpeg

Of course, adjust that for the reality of your device.

I know for sure that this trick works with Banshee, but not sure about
Rhythmbox.  It might be a HAL trick that Banshee uses; the documentation
isn't clear and I don't have any devices that act that way to test it
out.  But, it's a shot.
