    Exclamation ZEN Style 300 not recognized

    My Creative ZEN Style 300 player is not recognized in Ubuntu 10.10 through media players (Rhythembox, Banshee, Gnomad2...etc) .
    it is recognized correctly as a removable media like any flash drive ,but not as a media player though.

    I've searched a the issue and found some solutions to other Creative ZEN models ,but none worked for me.

    here is my lsusb output:
    Code:
    Bus 002 Device 006: ID 041e:2016 Creative Technology, Ltd
    I've edited the /lib/udev/rules.d/45-libmtp8.rules
    file and added
    Code:
    # Creative ZEN Style 300
    ATTR{idVendor}=="041e", ATTR{idProduct}=="2016", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="660", GROUP="audio"
    and edited the/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/20-libmtp8.fdi file and added :
    Code:
     <!-- Creative ZEN Style 300 -->
          <match key="usb.vendor_id" int="0x041e">
            <match key="usb.product_id" int="0x2016">
              <match key="info.capabilities" contains_not="portable_audio_player">
                <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">portable_audio_player</append>
              </match>
              <merge key="info.vendor" type="string">Creative</merge>
              <merge key="info.product" type="string">ZEN Style 300</merge>
              <merge key="info.category" type="string">portable_audio_player</merge>
              <merge key="portable_audio_player.access_method" type="string">user</merge>
              <match key="portable_audio_player.access_method.protocols" contains_not="mtp">
                <append key="portable_audio_player.access_method.protocols" type="strlist">mtp</append>
              </match>
              <append key="portable_audio_player.access_method.drivers" type="strlist">libmtp</append>
              <match key="portable_audio_player.output_formats" contains_not="audio/mpeg">
                <append key="portable_audio_player.output_formats" type="strlist">audio/mpeg</append>
              </match>
              <match key="portable_audio_player.output_formats" contains_not="audio/x-ms-wma">
                <append key="portable_audio_player.output_formats" type="strlist">audio/x-ms-wma</append>
              </match>
              <merge key="portable_audio_player.libmtp.protocol" type="string">mtp</merge>
            </match>
          </match>
    Still no luck though , any suggestions ?

    Same problem as you, i think Zen Style devices are not supported by libmtp for now, we should report a request for the new m100 and m300 devices.

    For your info, it works great with windows media player (alternative till there is a solution on linux)

    Also you could try toZen:

    I didn't try it, at your own risk, but maybe it works great.
