That depends on how the PC connectivity for the MP3 player works.
Mine, for one, doesn't work that way. It provides an application which
looks a bit like explorer, but you don't get a drive letter - you just
get two listview panes in the application listing the MP3s in the
built-in flash and the extension flash of the device.
