Mounting a MTP device in Amarok

Question

I'm running Arch with KDEmod installed and I'm trying to set up Amarok to mount my 60 GB Creative Zen Vision which is a MTP device. I have installed libmtp and my user is a member of hal and dbus but everytime I try to connect to my Zen I get the error "can't mount mtp-device". Is there something I'm missing?
Kind Regards
André
PS. I also tried gnomad2 but I get the error "no device found at usb-bus".

Answer 1

I got the file from the source tarball, it's a file called libmtp.rules. I copied it into /etc/udev/rules.d  as it said in the source README. Initially that would only connect as root. I needed to add
GROUP="audio"
at the end of the relevant line for it to work as my regular user.
The latest sourceball I can find (0.2.6.1, which is the version I installed from AUR) doesn't have that file! Help?
lsusb gives me the following for the ZV+:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 041e:4152 Creative Technology, Ltd

EDIT: After some searching, I found something in the Amarok Wiki; I opened kate as root, copied the contents into a new file, and saved it in /etc/udev/rules.d/ as "65-libmtp.rules":
