Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

The Sansa Clip+ (CLIPP or Clip Plus) digital audio player (mp3 player)
is not properly detected in Rhythmbox unless a .is_audio_player file is
placed in the root of the device.  The digital audio player is detected
by Nautilus (or hal?) as a USB device.

>From lsusb: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0781:74d0 SanDisk Corp.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect Sansa Clip+ digital audio player
2. Open Rhythmbox
3. Expected: Rhythmbox lists my device in the left pane so that I can add new 
music to it
4. Observed: Rhythmbox does not detect my digital audio device

I have tried adding 0x74d0 to
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi
under the Sansa Clip and Sansa Fuze heading (since they are basically
all the same player), but this did not solve the problem.

I found elsewhere that adding a (blank) .is_audio_player file to the
root of the player allows it to be detected by Rhythmbox.  This may be a
hal or hal-info bug.  I also realize this is probably a duplicate of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/505645 I just made a separate bug
report so that I could easily upload apport-bug info.
