** Description changed: In Ubuntu 9.04 (64-bit) when I connect Sony MP3 player NWZ-S615F, Nautilus (1:2.26.2-0ubuntu2) shows "These files are on a digital audio player" with a button to open Rhythmbox, and does not display the files (just blank empty list, and "gphoto2://[usb:001,011]/" in the address bar). I expected standard removable disk behaviour. Rhythmbox also doesn't seem to recognize it, and I wasn't able to connect to it via other media-player applications in Linux. Workaround (and why I think this is a nautilus issue): When messing around to fix the problem (adding/removing MTPFS, gphoto2 drivers etc) I did occasionally manage to trick Nautilus into mounting/displaying the files as a normal removable disk (which would be fine), which suggested to me that the problem is that Nautilus tries to do something too clever in trying to implement the MTP interface (but failed when it came to the crunch). I found that by uninstalling nautilus (which I did by mistake trying to remove the gphoto2 packages) I was in Dolphin which correctly showed the mounted removable disk. My workaround is therefore to live without Nautilus and use Dolphin instead, which is not pretty or desirable in a ubuntu desktop. I have also tried reformatting the disk (in Windows) but this didn't help. If this is too difficult to fix properly, could the libgphoto2 / MTP functionality be optionally turned-off in Nautilus, allowing it to just display as removable disks? I'm quite happy with dragging/dropping files and don't need all the bells and whistles of MTP (though I do desire the ability to view meta-data columns like album/title/date- picture-taken etc in the list-view of nautilus, like in XP: separate feature-request coming soon). By-the-way XP also had problems with this MP3 player, and I had to upgrade Media Player to get it to communicate, so this is not just a Linux issue. If I'd have realised the MP3 player would not behave like a standard removable disk I would never have - bought it, though otherwise it's a really nice gadget. + bought it, though otherwise it's a really nice little gadget.
