This won't work, of course, if your USB device is really a USB storage  
device that Gnome has decided, for some dumb reason, is really an MTP only  
device.

This is what F21's Gnome decided my MP3 player was. After updating to F21, I  
could not mount my MP3 player any more. What was, for several years, a USB  
storage device, was now allegedly an MTP device. Which works as well as you  
can probably expect.

After I received no response to my bug report, I simply bit the bullet and  
switched my last workstation to XFCE. Unlike Gnome, F21's XFCE desktop can  
mount my MP3 player just fine, with no issues.
