Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Rhythmbox and MTP support

[Peter Grundström <pete openfestis org>]

Hi Lorenzo,

I've written a patch against rhythmbox that adds basic support for MTP
devices. The patch is attached to the bug-report at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345006 . At this point it's
quite useful and support most of the things you would expect it to, like
transferring songs and podcasts o the device, play and copy music from
the device, renaming the device etc. 

Unfortunately I don't have very much free time at my hands right now.
I'm graduation from high-school (swedish gymnasium) in the middle of
June, so the time I've to spend on the plug-in is very close to zero.
However if you would be interested to get involved and help out I would
appreciate it very much.
