You will have to create a .is_audio_player file in the root folder of the 
device, containing some information how banshee should store the music on the 
device. Here a sample configuration for my Cowon S9:

audio_folders=Music/,Video/
folder_depth=2
output_formats=audio/ogg,audio/wav,audio/flac,audio/mp3,audio/wma,audio/ape,audio/aa,video/svid,video/wmv,video/divx
cover_art_file_type=jpeg
cover_art_file_name=Cover.jpg

there are some more options you can play with, they were discussed in a 
previous thread on this mailing list.
