It did, but not directly. It did get me to looking around some more with
an idea of what to look for.

I found the proper setting under edit/preferences/media in the folder
menu items.

So now when I plug an MP3 player in the contents are shown. However
there is a portion of the window that asks if I want to open calibre.
Somewhere there still is a mime setting that is wrong.
