Just in case that you do not know:
The libmtp project tries to write a library to bring mtp support to Linux (and MacOS) - it would be grate if amarok could use this.

And, btw.: it would be cool if this forum would have something like \"send an e-mail if someone responds to this thread\"-checkbox

Yes, hero at work....

here is the link to the project page:
