Hello everyone;

I'm running Slackware 12.2, which installs Amarok 1.4.10 and libmtp 0.3.3 .
Amarok will not automatically detect the Sony NWZ-S615F media player, but if I configure it manually as a MTP device, it will be picked up correctly after all the magic performed by HAL, UDEV, D-BUS and friends.

This Sony player has a filesystem structure with several folders, where music files are supposed to be dropped in the 'music' folder, but every file i transfer through Amarok end up in the root folder, which is limited in the number of files it can hold.
If I configure Amarok to prefix every file to transfer with either 'music/' or '/music' I'll end up with several music folders in the device's root, one for each music file: 'music(1)', 'music(2)' and so on. If I allow the default setting '%a - %b' (if I'm not wrong), it will do pretty much the same thing.

I tried updating my libmtp to 0.3.5 to see if it made any difference. I had no luck and I reverted to the stock package tath came with my distro.

I understand that this might have more to do with libmtp than with Amarok, but I've been googling for some time now to no avail. I found a similar description of this problem in this same forum, dated June 2008 with no response, but I wanted to try my luck anyway...

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or pointers.
