I have a creative zen which amarok will not connect to.

Having looked at the various help out there I have installed latest libmtp6 and checked I have the latest libusb installed.

Also checked that the various suggested lines were in the etc/udev/rules.d/libmtp.rules file.

running mtp-detect in terminal just says no devices detected - yes I did remember to plug it in.

I am pretty much a newbie running Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10

Any advice on the next thing to check would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I do notice that this question is over two months old. However, I'd like to add a post to keep it going. So, here goes...

I have run Amarok forever as my music player. And love it! Recently, I bought the Creative Zen Player and have had problems in getting it to work. Basically, it does not - no matter what I have tried.

I am now running GNOMAD2 to get my player going. Which I like, and runs very, very well. But, I would like to see what needs to be done to connect Amarok and my Creative Zen. Or, other external media.

I've been running either SuSE (openSuSE) or UBUNTU for over 5 years. Plus either GNOME or KDE. Any help would be appreciated.

My daughter got one of the damn things for Christmas and I haven't had ANY success with getting it to do a damn thing!  I've tried connecting with Amarok 1.4.4 - to NO avail.  I'm using openSuSE 10.2 and a generic Core 2 quad HP box.  mtp-detect returns: "No MTP devices. No devices."  Can't find the mount point for the device either for "

Any ideas?

jski: your problem may well be that your version of Amarok is simply too old. See if you can find a package for 1.4.10. You may have to update a few other packages as well - more than likely one of them will be libmtp.
