Ubuntu Question

ive been considering wiping my pc and installing ubuntu.
but i dont know if i can access my curve 8310 with ubuntu at all.

im pretty sure i wont be able to access the desktop manager.
but will i at least be able to use it as a mass storage device?
to add new songs and what not?

I keep a duel boot of windows and ubuntu. You can also use vmware and create a virtual machine of windows within Ubuntu.
