Your USB hard drive is not not there.

As root try:

#  mkdir /usbdrive
#  mount /dev/sdb1 /usbdrive

(I'm assuming the default mount settings are OK)

then do

$ ls /usbdrive

and you should see your music collection.

If this works then read up about fstab and you can add an entry so
that the drive gets automatically mounted on start up.

Good Luck.
