Sony Walkman NWZ-B173F 12.04 support

I bought this groovy little device for my daughters only to discover they didn't play nice with Ubuntu. My main desktop runs 12.04 64bit. My secondary desktop runs 13.04. Didn't get recognised on either.

It appeared in dmesg and syslog and the "disks utility" app, but the filesystem type was not recognised which seems to be why it didn't mount.

After much searching etc, I've figured out how to mount it. It's a vfat partition.

mount /dev/sdg /media/walkman

(I manually created the walkman directory)

Took me awhile to figure this out as I normally mount scsi drives as something like sdg1 or sda2 (depending on the partition)

So I've got around the initial problem of not being able to transfer music across, but I'm a little puzzled as to why this would not auto-mount.

Any thoughts out there?
