RCA Lyra and G5

Well, my wife got an RCA LYRA mp3 player for Christmas this year...little thing works great when you figure out how to get around being forced to use MusicMatch software. However, my WinXP box crashed, drastically, and I'm trying to get it to work with my new G5. I contacted RCA and they told me that it was impossible to use, because the player did not work with OS X. My question...is there a way to simply make the player (a 128MB USB flash drive kinda thingie) a mini-storage device and just copy songs from iTunes to it?
When I look at my system information, all that shows up when I plug the player in, is a "USB device" on one of my USB drives...can't remember which one...
Just thought I would ask. And to head off the inevitable "Get an iPod" comments, I would gladly accept contributions toward that end, but it ain't gonna happen for a while...
Thanks for your help, I look forward to learning all kinds of great stuff from this board....

You may find the player shows up in the iTunes source list, if it is supported. Many MP3 player manufacturers will claim their products won't work under OS X when in fact they will.
 
Many USB equipment companies say their product is not supported in OS X. Heck, my ISP told me that they do not support OS X. Plugged it in and the system did see the internet connection.

Give it a try on any OS X machine. I bet it will be recognized. :)
