How to get Sansa Clip and Clip+ recognized in banshee or Rythmnbox

Note to myself:

Create a file:
.is_audio_player at the root and insert:
audio_folders=MUSIC/,RECORD/
output_formats=audio/mp3

audio/mp3 can be replaced with OGG but most of my music is from Amazon so it is MP3 now and I want to avoid the hassle of converting. Should probably convert the whole lot though Banshee will convert on the fly so may not matter if I switch to OGG.

    You don’t have to settle for just one audio format. Since the Clip+ supports many, you can just use:

    output_formats=audio/ogg,audio/x-ms-wma,audio/mpeg,audio/wav,audio/flac,audio/mp3

    Then Banshee probably won’t have to convert any of your files before putting them on the Clip+.
