  • The command lsusb. You should see a line corresponding to your device.
  • The command mtp-detect should dump a huge amount of information about your device.
  • The command mtp-tracks should list all tracks present on your device.

[edit] Enabling MTP support in gPodder

  • Go to Preferences, open the "Player" tab and choose "mtp-based device"

[edit] Troubleshooting

  • first, verify that you have libtmp and pymtp working
  • run from a shell gPodder --verbose
  • send a bug to gPodder including a description on what has happened and the result of the previous command

MTP support has mostly been written by Jérôme Chabod.
