when i plug in my mp4 player it appears as 2 identical 1GB removable media icons (player itself + micro sd card). no way to know which is what

add some difference for this case. for example

removable device B
removable device C1

(from their names /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc1)

or

removable device 4C
removable device 5A

(part of uuid)

or

removable device mp4
removable device hey

(mountpoint folder name)

Take a look at [Dolphin] Hierarchal Places for an alternative solution to this sort of problem.

it does not look the same type of problem

It could be similar. There would be one icon for the whole device, and sub-icons for the two parts of the device. That way you could mount and unmount the whole device, as well as mount and unmount the two parts separately.

the problem i have is that both parts appearance is identical

when i want to get into the memory card quick i click one of them (say the top one) but it is randomly either the card or the player each time

I agree with Ash.
Actually, it's not quite clear, just naming devices by their description.

But well, the device notifier should ALSO implement the hierarchy of devices... both of them would be very usefull.

I think all drives should be named this way. +1
