BB Rhapsody and WMP10 show both memory sets.
I can confirm that MM does not recognize a microSD card plugged into the Insignia NS-DV4G player, although it has no problems interacting with the NS-DV4G's internal drive. This is in MTP mode, by the way. MSC mode can be achieved by turning off the player, activating the hold button, and then connecting it to a PC, but album art only transfers in MTP mode, which is why MediaMonkey is such a necessity.
In response to paulmt, the NS-DV4G doesn't have a setting to "see" data on either the internal or external disk separately. It databases content from both sources at the same time.
To echo chrisb's comments, Windows Explorer and WMP11 are each able to recognise both the internal and external disks in MTP mode. Unfortunately, WMP also likes to hijack your album art and do all manner of resizing/hiding to it...so phooey on WMP, I say.
At this point, would we be best served by adding "external disk recognition/compatibility" to the MM wishlist?
