Re: [Banshee-List] Sony Walkman not recognized by Banshee

[Lorenzo Bettini <lorenzo bettini gmail com>]

Hi

I don't know whether it's my case, however playlists are not
supported... I think this device supports MTP (but how can I check
that?); I've also done what you suggested but if I unmount it from
Gnome, Banshee does not see the device at all...

thanks in advance
