Make sure your device is plugged in and mounted. Remember the device name, such as sdc1, etc. In Amarok, go to Settings, configure Amarok, Media Devices at the bottom. Choose the best plugin. I would try MTP at the bottom for starters.
If it works, then it should show in Amarok itself when you go to Devices at the bottom of the sidebar. If it shows as your device, then you should be able to setup playlists and export them. If not, then try a different plugin. Roy *Linux*: Fast, friendly, flexible and ... free! Support open Source <,*)}}+< Only dead fish go with the flow. 2009/2/8 Elon G.
