Binary package hint: hal-info

The 10-usb-music-players.fdi file does not list Fuze players as supporting Vorbis or FLAC audio. I recently bought such a player (what appears to be version 1 of the device) and its firmware supported these formats out of the box.

With the FDI files in intrepid, copying music with Rhythmbox entailed unnecessary and slow transcoding and resulted in all the music being listed as unknown artist and album (in fact they appeared to be untagged). After updating the FDI file, it just copies the music directly.

I filed an upstream bug with the updated FDI file:

This consolidates the entries for the Clip and Fuze devices and adds device IDs for Fuze v2 devices. There is a total of 8 device IDs because the players present different IDs depending on whether they are in MSC or MTP/Auto modes.
