About a year ago I bought myself an mp3 player. According to the characteristics was not bad, and the company is well-known, but I found a catch only by arriving home and connecting it to a computer.
He could only communicate via
Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) . In another mentioning a bad word
* you know who * you are , I started looking for ways to interact with this device with linux (with windows, things are not so smooth either).
Initially, I used some kind of Gnomad2 program, which worked with errors and periodically crashed, but, alas, it does not develop anymore. With the use of an audio player (Amarok) for pumping music, there were no problems, but I still wanted more (using it as a USB flash drive), which the program did not allow. After some time, I discovered the
mtpfs program, which allows you to mount MTP devices like any other.
The program requires a bit: fuse> = 2.2, glib> = 2.6, libmtp> = 0.0.9, id3tag> = 0.15, mad> = 0.15.
I didn’t find it in gentoo portage, so I began to study ebilds =)
PS Nautilus in the article, I did not mention because I prefer to use native tools
