hi,
is it possible to prevent amarok (2.3) from automounting my mp3 player?

thanks for your help.

Just to clarify, Amarok doesn't mount, or unmount. That is handled by Solid. If you plug in your mp3 player before you start Amarok, you can ensure it is unmounted. Then when you start Amarok, it won't be seen.

ok, but how to advise solid not to mount mp3 player in combination with amarok? (if this is possible, i dont want to turn off amarok everytime i use my usb stick/mp3 player)

thanx

Have a look at KDE's system settings, advanced section, "Removable devices". There, you can define whether a device should be automounted. (this all assumes, you are using KDE 4.4 and later)

thanx. i want to use automount for my device in KDE (4.4), i just want to disable it for amarok

Sorry, that is not possible, Amarok uses the given system settings, if a device is mounted it will show in Amarok.

Although, I should add there is a plan to make it possible to disable specific collections from appearing in music sources [1]. If there is enough developer time it might be included in the next version.
