Sony MP3 Player not being recognized

[Interpreter]

WOW skintythe1andonly it totally works and I love you, if this would be the RL id offer sexual favours and everything

Off, listening to some proper tuneage ))

cool, how is the banshee/mtp support, which sony player do you own?

[skintythe1andonly]

I never got it to work in Banshee which is actually why i changed to Rhythmbox. The mtp seems to work ok in this.

This not automounting drove me mad too but it looked like it was a reported bug and is solved for Intrepid Ibex

As for me it's a NWZ-A816,
I only use drag n drop for I hate using media player built in transfer things....

I also decided not to use banshee so I can't comment on that part ((.

[Marat89]

ok, but hopefully there is a workaround for mounting (pmount) and the Banshee thing, i have to hack around, maybe i get it fixed, because the mtp is on rhythmbox working But thats not THAT problem.
Im waiting for Intrepid

so thx to all, i report on Saturday if i Had luck with my new Sony nwz a826

[Marat89]

I have my nwz A826 , its a great player and with pmount its working great
Banshee, Rhythmbox (MTP) do not work, Rhythmbox not tested.
I hope Intrepid will automatic mount this great player...
EDIT: actually you dont have to install and use pmount.
I just do: sudo mount /dev/sdb1
and sudo umoount /dev/sdb1

[Marat89]

Push
has nobody a idea, how to get this player working with Banshee?

[skintythe1andonly]

Marat69, you dont have to use pmount but I found the command

ls /dev/disk/by-label -lah

doesnt work without pmount installed as the "by-label" part comes with pmount I believe. As for Banshee I gave up on it. Did turning off MTP in Banshee and then mounting it do anything?

thx for the hint . No, Banshee is not working with this player. I uses your method, but no chance

Then go to the Media Devices tab and you will see in the top a combo box with "MTP Device" click the button Connect and that's it )

Genius. Worked perfectly, thanks.
