Recovery Mode Driver/Player Recovery Device,...what is it good for?

Hi,

i have a “dead” MP3 player and whenever i attach it to my systems usb bus, i get a device in my devnodes named “Player_Recover_Device”, but there isnt a lot of information out there for the “Device”. Does anybody know what this is good for? Its name implies some driver to recover/access something but what is it good for if the MP3 player is damaged and inaccessible?

Some data collected from the device:

“DeviceName”,“Player-Wiederherstellungsger?teklasse”
“DeviceClassPnPEnumeratorName”,“Player_Recovery_Device”
“DeviceClassName”,“Player-Wiederherstellungsger?teklasse”
“DeviceClassGUID”,“9fff066d-3ed3-4567-9123-8b82cfe1cdd4”
“DeviceCompatibleIDs”,“USB\Class_FF&SubClass_00&Prot_FF;USB\Class_FF&SubClass_00;USB\Class_FF”
“DeviceHardwareIDs”,“USB\VID_066F&PID_3500&REV_0066;USB\VID_066F&PID_3500”
“DeviceDriverINFFile”,“C:\Windows\Inf\oem59.inf”
“DeviceDriverINFFileClassName”,“Player_Recovery_Device”
“DeviceDriverINFFileClassGuid”,“9fff066d-3ed3-4567-9123-8b82cfe1cdd4”
“DeviceEnumeratorType”,“USB”
“DeviceHardwareLocation”,“Port_#0001.Hub_#0005
“DeviceHardwareId”,“USB\VID_066F&PID_3500&REV_0066”
“DeviceInstanceID”,“USB\VID_066F&PID_3500\5&3498DE22&0&1”
“DeviceRegistryKey”,“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{9fff066d-3ed3-4567-9123-8b82cfe1cdd4}\0000”

It uses this driver “StMp3Rec.sys” and version info is:

File Version Info for:
“C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\StMp3Rec.sys”
