I managed to connect an external USB flash card to my Nokia N810. Now I want my media players to play music stored on that card. I'm facing these problems:
1. Canola won't open the files from the card because it's impossible to add flash card's drive to the list of media folders in the library.
2. MPlayer can open these files but I can't enqueue them in the playlist because they are not part of the media library, and I wasn't able to find a place where I can add a folder from the file system into the media library.
Please advise.
Andrey.

USB device doesn't appear in Canola's media folders. There's only "Internal card" and "Removable card" selection.

To make a symlink open a terminal, cd to one of the media folders you can select in Canola and type:
ln -s <path_to_your_flash_card> <link_name>

If it's not working you can sudo ln ... ( http://wiki.maemo.org/Root_access ) or you can try to make the symlink in a folder located in internal/removable card instead of your home folder.
1. Canola won't open the files from the card because it's impossible to add flash card's drive to the list of media folders in the library.
2. MPlayer can open these files but I can't enqueue them in the playlist because they are not part of the media library, and I wasn't able to find a place where I can add a folder from the file system into the media library.
