I've doublecheck bug 355967. But it seems the player has it's own power supply
too... So we can't really detect the difference :(

It seems we can't really fix this. Either we don't detect MPIO HD300 as an mp3
players or we misdetect some usb harddisks with exactly teh same controller as
mp3 players :(
