Specifically, I'm using Banshee on linux for my music player, and my mp3 player is a Sansa Clip+, but I wanted to keep the question general for all MSC devices.

I added a .is_audio_player file to both the Clip+ and its card, so now they both show up in Banshee. But I want to be able to just sync my library with it, instead of trying to figure out how much to drag to each half. Is there a way to do this, or am I out of luck?

Edit: I don't plan on switching cards in and out. I'm using the MicroSD card solely to increase the capacity of my Clip+, not because it is removable.

the hardware is two separate devices, shows up as two separate filesystems, so either you get to manage them separately or some software makes those decisions for you. perhaps badly -- what if you had 3 SD cards and wanted to swap between them? it's not that what you want is impossible, it's that it's very difficult to make such behavior intelligent, automatic and useful. – quack quixote Dec 25 '09 at 18:44
Fair enough, but I'd be happy with a solution that assumes that I'd NEVER switch the cards. I don't plan on it, and if I ever do, I'd be ok with resyncing my entire library to make it work. – Matthew Dec 25 '09 at 19:06

My workaround for now is to make a smart playlist to hold "the first 7.5Gb" of my music. I drag this playlist to the player, then I drag the rest of my music (starting after the last song in the smart playlist) to the microSD card.

It's still pretty cumbersome, so if anyone has a better solution (one that allows me to automatically sync), please post it!
