Should be fine.  Hint: I have this line in my /etc/fstab and then can
mount it as a normal user.

   /dev/sdg  /media/sansa  auto  user,noauto,noatime  0 0

  $ mount /media/sansa

And then the result is:

  $ mount | grep sansa
  /dev/sdg on /media/sansa type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=utf8,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro,user=rwp)

If you are not seeing any files then I think the mount is failing.
You should at least see the basic files of the system.

  $ ls -laog /media/sansa/

Those are all the stock Sansa files.  You should have those regardless
of other music being there.  If you are not seeing those files then
you have NOT mounted the audio player.

Go down the Sansa software:

  Settings -> System Settings -> USB Mode

    AutoDetect
    MTP
    MSC <--

You probably have either AutoDetect (the default) or MTP specified.
Some systems are confused by this.  Set it to MSC to force mass
storage class.  Then try mounting it again.
