From my experience using Ubuntu, neither rhythmbox nor banshee will automatically see the clip. The solution is simple.
Create a file in the root directory of your clip and call it
.is_audio_player
Open the file and insert the line
audio_folders=MUSIC/,RECORD/
That’s it. Unmount/unplug your clip and reconnect it. Banshee and rhythmbox should both now see your clip and you can easily add music directly from your favorite media player.
That’s my trick I learned today and I thought I would pass it along.
Actually, you don’t even have to do that. Go to System–>Preferences–>Removable Drives & Media. Click on the Multimedia tab, & you’ll see a setting to make Rhythmbox launch when you connect the Clip.
It works for me, & I didn’t have to do anything. I plug in the Clip, & my computer detects it without a hitch. Rhythmbox launched automatically, too. But I turned off that option in the settings I mentioned above, since I prefer to just copy & paste… It seems you might have an issue with your usb port.
