Daily Doings at the Line of Death Bar & Grill

I've been trying to load more music on my Creative Labs MuVo V100 player that I purchased last year. I plugged it in to a powered USB port and Windows didn't recognize it. Funny. It used to, months ago. Maybe something I installed since then is causing it to fail. So I rebooted with Ubuntu, plugged in the drive, and it recognized it as a 2 Gb media drive. I was able to transfer music files to it rather easily -- cut from an MP3 CD and paste it to the MuVo drive.
