So I have a 8gb Sansa Fuze and I am trying to connect to Amarok via MTP. I have gotten it to connect in MSC Mode, but I want to make playlists. I know I can make a file with the names of the songs and such and I can manually get it to show up on my player, but it is blank. At any rate when I try auto detect, it says that no media has been found, but when I run mtp-detect in root, I find and can connect to my Sansa. When trying to auto detect Amarok asks to run 'dcop kded mediamanager fullList'. So I put that in the console and it prints this out:

greg@greg-laptop:~$ dcop kded mediamanager fullList

I was having trouble at first with the DCOP server not running, but all of a sudden it works, but only under my username, not root. I thought that was kind of weird. I don't know what to do from here. Also if I try to setup a manual configuration, it brings up a Malformed Url error. Any help would be great.
