Let HAL mount Creative Zen. Is it possible?

I'm trying to let HAL mount my Creative Zen mp3 player. It uses the libmtp protocol and I can mount it manually through mtpfs.
But is it possible to let HAL mount the device when I insert it?

Thanks for any suggestions!

This is how I fixed mounting for my zen micro.. I'm not sure if it's what you want, but perhaps it will be of use to you, particularly since it contains rules for all sorts of devices. Note however that I wrote this down quite a long time ago, so I'm not sure whether it is still relevant.

Thanks, already found that one and it doesn't make HAL automount the device unfortunately.

i used that rule, now lsusb recognize the device, but the automount doesn't work. how i can mount that device? also fdisk doesn't recognize the device

fdisk won't work because mtp is not a filesystem of any kind. You can manually mount the zen by using some udev rule like

ATTRS{product}=="Creative ZEN", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="666", GROUP="audio"

And then mount /dev/libmtp-.... to /mnt/zen
