Before doing anything, make sure the firmware is at it's newest version.
Apparently the update application is only available for Windows,
although you could try it in Wine. Once you have updated the firmware
try this while in the root directory of your device;
cat "audio_folders=MUSIC/,RECORD/" > .is_audio_player
Then make a directory called MUSIC to dump your music, and if it already
exists just place your mp3s there.
