Can I mount USB drives with predictable mount points?

[Marnes]

change volume labels:

to fat and ntfs:
sudo  mkdosfs  -n  myusblabel  /dev/sdb1   (change sdb1 to the
appropriate device)

to ext2/3:
sudo  e2label  /dev/sdb1  myusblabel       (idem)

put different labels in different usbdisks, for example, "mymp3",
"hdbackup", ...

when you mount, they will be always in
/media/mymp3
/media/hdbackup
etc.
