When I create a new MTP Media Device the preferred format is mp3.  However, I have to restart Amarok before I can successfully connect to my Sansa View.  When I do restart Amarok, the preferred format is changed to txt.  I've done a lot of googleing and asked in numerous irc channels and cant seem to find any answers.  The only conclusion I can come up with is that it is a bug in Amarok.

Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Amarok 1.4.9.1
KDE 3.5.9
Kubuntu 8.04

Here is a picture showing that amarok thinks that the Preferred format for my Sansa View is txt.
