Dear Maintainer, I'm having this same issue on Debian Unstable (except with Rhythmbox being the linked to program).
* What led up to the situation? When I mount a usb thumb drive and view it in nautilus * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I tried several different thumb drives, even ones that were cleanly formatted and with no files on them. * What was the outcome of this action? It still specified that the usb drive "Contains music" and offered to launch Rhythmbox. * What outcome did you expect instead? For it to not say "Contains music" when the device doesn't contain music.
