    Doesn’t seem to work with my Creative Zen Vision. My player shows up and syncs in WMP 11 so I am not sure what is going on.

    Doesn’t work with Samsung YP-T9 :–(
    Any way to configure the add-on to support this device?

    Thanks

    Just a little point, please !
    add some kind of confirmation message on the right-click menu option ‘remove’ for tracks in the library.
    The remove option removes track from the device without warning (I know it is supposed to do so, but…).
    A little message could help the user !

    Using with XP SP3 Build 3300 and WMP 11.
    MTP support is not working with either my Creative Zen Vision:M or my Sony Ericsson W910i (set to MTP mode)

    Both devices work correctly in Winamp 5.52, Mediamonkey 3, and Windows Media Player 11.

    It doesn’t work with an iriver iclix. I am not a developer, just liked songbird and firefox, if anyone knows what I can try to get it to work, it would be much appreciated.

    I am running Songbird .5rc2 and MTP device support 9.6 and I still can’t get my iriver to popup much less sync any music through songbird. Do I need to enable/activate it or add it to some device settings? Maybe there is something I need to do to the device? Again any help is appreciated.

    It doesn’t seem to work for Creative Zen V Plus. I have WMP 11 installed and it works on that.

    Any time I try to access the device a window pops up stating that it cannot connect to the device.

    I can see the the files on the device and can create a new playlist but cannot add new songs or remove songs or add songs to the playlists

    Hello.

    I just got a Creative ZEN 4GB today, and figured I’d try this out.

    I don’t know if I’m being stupid (probably) but I don’t know how to do it.

    I downloaded the plugin, restarted Songbird, and my ZEN was plugged in..couldn’t find anything that said “sync” or anthing like that.

    any help is greatly appreciated.

    (I’m running XP pro x64 edition, btw)

    oh poop
    i had been waiting for a player that would let me FINALLY sync my Jukebox Zen Xtra for years
    wmp10 is horrible and wmp11 seriously breaks both my computer and my player and when i heard MTP compatibility was likely here i was all over it
    but you used the wmp11 version and i am as such buggered
    how hard would it be to make an alternative, wmp10-based version?

    I suggest, to these mtp addon site, put the players witch run in mtp.
    We users don’t know witch player we can buy to use on songird.
    a worst exemple, I have a bought a creative Muvo, and I had fright that cannot sync with it.
    Please place a database of all players compatible, on this “addon site”.

    I have Sony NWZ-S618F. Adding and removing songs works well but it doesnt adds the Album-art covers.
    It would be nice if that could be fixed =)

    I second the album-art request. All my portable mp4 player needs is a .jpg file in the album directory and it displays it.

     Also... where can i comment on "podcast" management ( i know we dont call them podcasts anymore but sorry ) --- even though its a bit off topic here .. i would like to be able have expiry limits so as not to have to manually delete from my HD and also maybe a way to automatically transfer to a portable MP3 player.. (ie, wake up, unplug my MP3 player and have the latest news report waiting for me.) THANKYOU:.. i downloaded SONGBIRD yesterday and i really like it...

    I am using SB version 0.7.0.

    I have both a vista and a xpsp2 machine.
    My device is a creative Zen -V (1gb model)

    This device worked correctly on both machines with 0.6.0 and after the upgrade to 0.7.0 it does not work at all

    please let me know if I can help with this in any way I have a debugger on the xp machine.

    The problem seems to be Linux.
    I've tried it under Windows with the same playerversion and my YPK3. I have NOT installed Win Media Player 11 an it works fine. The YPK3 is shown as an device and can be filled with music without any problems.

    In Linux Ubuntu 8.04 and the 0.7.0 Version of Songbird i can't install this add on for MTP device support. The Button is grey and unusable. Why i cannot install this addon!? Is it an Linux Problem...or a problem between Songbird and Linux. Don't they like each other? ;o)

    Please keep working on it...i love Songbird and don't want to use another player.

    Greetz and sorry for my "school-english"...i'm from germany. erdhase.

    Erdhase: When you go to the download page for this add-on, you'll notice that the only version available for download is the Windows version. That's why you can't install it on Linux.

    I just grabbed Songbird RC1 and MTP is finally working! Fantastic.

    However I do have a question. I have an MTP device that has two separate storage pools - an internal memory on the device, and an SD card. When I connect the device to the computer, both memories show up. However, Songbird only seems to see the total of the two memories - ie, 1 gig internal + 7.5gig SD = 8.5 gig MTP device. When I sync my library, it first fills up my device's internal memory, and once that's full it moves onto the SD card.

    Is there a way to tell Songbird "only pay attention to the SD card"? Otherwise my music library is spread across two separate memories, and that sucks. It would be great to get it to sync only to my SD card.

    doesn't work with Nokia n95 in media player.

    Shows up ok and can read tracks on the n95, but can't copy tracks to it, nor sync.

    When copying tracks/playlist (in manually manage mode), nothing happens:
    tried dragging and dropping playlist, dragging dropping files, also tried selecting files and right click->copy to device,.

    when I try to "send to device" it shows an error: "songbird encountered and error that resulting x files not be copied" reason: unexpected:

    If I try to sync, it tells me it's already synced with another library, do I want to erase everything and copy new stuff over - which I clearly don't want to do.

    Currently device is music free, but DOES have podcasts on it

    I agree with matcatc -- a readme or something would be helpful. I've got my Zen Vision M hooked up - when I open Songbird, the Zen screen shows itself as docked, but there's no indication in Songbird that the device is attached.

    So I am in the market for a new MP3 player. I want to use songbird, but it appears my only choice will be an ipod. The samsung 2P is what I think I want to get. I am running mostly Linux and some Windows. So from what I can tell, it won't work with Songbird 1.0 or on Linux. Comments?

    My Sensa Fuze 4GB doesn't work with it. When I drag files onto the device, it will copy some, but then gives up halfway through with no error displayed. You need to then go to the device screen and click the warning icon to see "Songbird encountered and error...". The details just says "Unexpected:".

    At this point, the only way to do anything with the device is to restart songbird.

    I could only get it to sync with my iriver clix by right clicking all the songs and selecting "add to device", but that doesn't always work either and even then it doesn't sync ratings or album art.

    Just a follow-up: My bad, I'm an idiot. I thought I had WMP 11 installed, but I actually checked and realized I was still on 10. Upgraded to 11 and Songbird now recognizes the Zen Vision M.

    First of all, Songbird should be a native MTP/MSC application. Which means it should be integrated instead of handled through an add-on.

    I have a Sony-Ericsson C905, it works. But it sends the data to the phone memory instead of the memory stick. Seems like it can only handle a single MTP device on the same device.
    Which means it doesn't fully support the MTP standard, only partially. So that needs to be fixed.
    Aswell as support for multiple operating systems, but this is possible by integrating it natively in the application. Don't know how the whole XULRunner thing works though...

    Unfortunately, and has is at been already mentionned, there is no support for MTP :-( My YP-P2 must live with Rythmbox, and this, people.. this really sucks!!! because Songbird is way better!! :-)
    Hope we will see soon a MTP-LINUX :-)

    It worked for a while under XP with my Sony A818 unit, but now.... well it does not work...

    I used to be able to play some tracks from the unit, now I can't and and can't transfert either.

    As a user, an updated (and working) version of the add on would make me go back to Songbird as my main music player (I switched to winamp when the add-on stopped working properly).

    Otherwise, great job.

    I'm disappointed to find that this does not work on Linux. There is an MTP library for Linux, and amarok (e.g.) will work with MTP devices. I'd be happy to do some work on this if someone could give me a few pointers about where things would need changing.

    Works perfectly with my Samsung G600 mobile phone.

    Adds albums and tracks correctly and creates play lists in the format the phone understands.

    Only drawback, doesn't seem to upload the album art or if it does, it's not being displayed. It could be that the Samsung doesn't reads ID tags (?).

    I became disappointed cause I don't have and neither interested in Windows Media Player 11. MTP Device should work directly with transfers between a PC and other devices like pen-drives. What about this idea?

    Moreover, if I used WMP 11, I certainly wouldn't have Songbird.

    I am so pleased with this add-on, and actually... this is what made me continue to use Songbird because I was looking for a media player where I could plug in my Sansa player. It works great, and the only problem I had was Songbird not recognizing the MTP device when it was already open, but I re-opened Songbird and then it worked fine. :D
