Public bug reported:

To reproduce:
- Launch Rhythmbox
- Plug in a Nokia N900 and select mass storage mode.

Expected:
- Rhythmbox detects the N900 as a media player (USB mass storage), lists it 
under "Devices", and allows the user to manage the music on it.

Actual:
- Rhythmbox does not respond at all to the presense of the N900.

This bug is a regression: it used to work in previous Ubuntu versions,
and it also works in the rhythmbox shipped in Debian 7 (wheezy).

Some interesting-looking output from 'rhythmbox --debug':
> device /dev/sdb has no ID_MEDIA_PLAYER tag in udev
> /media/gnoutchd/Nokia N900 is already a mount point
> override file /media/gnoutchd/Nokia N900/.is_audio_player not found on mount 
> /media/gnoutchd/Nokia N900

The attached 'n900-udev.txt' contains an extract of the output of
'udevadm info --export-db'. Note that ID_MEDIA_PLAYER is set on
'/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-3', but it is not set on the
entry that corresponds to the actual /dev/sdb device
('/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0/host19/target19:0:0/19:0:0:0/block/sdb').
This is a change from Debian wheezy, where ID_MEDIA_PLAYER is set on
both.
