Cannot Mount ALi Corp. M5667 MP3 player

I'm trying to mount my MP3 player.
It's plain red, and there are no markings on it, but linux identifies it as an M5667 MP3 player

When I try to mount it I get
'no medium found on /dev/sdb'

I've looked all over online, and I can't quite figure out the problem.

It shows up as /dev/sdb, but there are no other sdbX devices.

$ sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt/usb/
mount: no medium found on /dev/sdb

$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdb: No medium found
