Package: amarok Version: 1.4.6-1+b1 Priority: wishlist I have an MTP device (Creative Zen) and I tried to detect it in the "Devices" section of Amarok and also tried to set it up manually in Amarok's configuration. Both failed with no indication as to what might be the cause.
After stumbled into http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:MTP I figured it might be because the user I was running the application with was not in the 'plugdev' group. I added the user and sure enougth, everything started working as expected. I've seen no mention of this needed either in Amarok's dialog boxes (it could provide hints as to why it does not find a device you *know* you have plugged in) and/or Amarok's README.Debian At the very least, the README.Debian file should confirm the need to add users to the 'plugdev' group (staticly? through an udev rule?) for MTP devices to work.
