If you were trying to use Windoze then you needed that CD with the software. Same as with this new Samsung that Marc and I have. But with SuSE you don't so even with the new one you can't use without the CD? yuck!
But, as you hopefully read in my previous post to Marc, you have to be certain that the USB miniplug is tightly seated in the Samsung -- until it "clicks." Otherwise it is not making connection and it won't be recognized -- even by I remember your post when I was trying it last night and I am fairly certain the plug was in all the way. I will check again tonight to confirm that.
You are correct that the Samsung website is not much help. It only has software for Windoze. Who cares? You're using SuSE, right. You don't need any of that I would be happy if I got it to work with SuSE and then I wouldn't bother with Windows. I have dual boot with Windows and it would be nice to get either working. I have one PC with Solaris 10. Maybe I should try that tonight.
As for support, yes you're right. When I called and said "Linux" they did not even know if the unit would work with Linux. They only support Windoze. That's funny. For a company as global as they like to think they are, they should know something about it
Try your unit again. Be certain the plugs are seated correctly. I wish you good luck and hope your mp3 player works as well as ours. You are troublemakers. Of course I might have to get a new one :-)

For what it's worth, I bought a YP-T7Z based specifically on Gil's recommendation last month. I've found it to work perfectly with SuSE 9.2. Just plug it in, drag and drop, or transfer files by command line. It behaves just like any other drive. My only bitch with the device is that it doesn't have a "bookmark" feature, even though it does have a mode that will let you restart at the point you ended. Good luck, Regis Matejcik
