Creative Zen (and other MTP players) and Amarok: A quick guide

Hi. Odds are if you're looking at this you've been directed here by a search engine because you've typed in something to the effect of Creative Zen+Amarok or MTP+Amarok. This is meant to be a quick and dirty little rundown of what you need to do to get your Zen or possibly other MTP player working. This isn't a scientific paper and thus there will be many many variables that may or may not have anything to do with getting it to work, and may not work with every other MTP player out there. Now, down to business.
The first thing you probably want to have is libmtp, Amarok, and libusb. In my case I did it with libmtp 0.2.6.1-1, Amarok 1.4.10-2, and libusb 0.1.12-3. Others have apparently gotten this working with older versions so if there is some reason you can't upgrade or you happen to be a time traveler who printed this out before disrupting the natural chronological order this might work even with older versions. If you do however happen to have an older version of Amarok you might have to compile in libmtp support, but this is beyond the scope of this little guide. Google it. Also my user belongs to audio, optical, video, storage, network, Hal, Dbus, and wheel. The only groups I believe are necessary are storage, audio, Hal and Dbus. But I haven't tested under those conditions
For some reason when libmtp is installed it doesn't install a set of udev rules, so the first thing you need to do is is create a file called:
/etc/udev/rules.d/65-libmtp.rules

LABEL="libmtp_rules_end"
This is the basic set of identifiers for Media Devices on Amarok. Amarok does indeed keep a page which may or may not be updated http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:MTP.
As it says on that page we want to make sure that the device is recognized. If your device is listed on the list above then you can skip straight to the part about libmtp but if it isn't then you need to start with libusb to construct your devices I.D.
lsusb-v
You should see a fairly sizeable output, but what we're interested in is at the very top (assuming you only have your media device plugged in).
In my case it's:
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 041e:4157 Creative Technology, Ltd
and even in that all we really care about is the ID:041e:4157. The first number is the idVendor and the second is the idProduct. All you have to do is copy one of the other examples and subsistute your numbers in mind and name.
# Creative Zen
SYSFS{idVendor}=="041e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4157", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="666", GROUP="audio"
You probably noticed that GROUP="audio" on the end. I don't know whether or not it is significant but others have mentioned that they could not get it to work until they had that. So I would add that to any device I want to use if it doesn't work and you've done everything else
Next you want to see if libmtp detects your device. Go back to the console and type:
mtp-detect
You should get a pretty long output something like this:

WMPInfo.xml Does not exist on this device
PTP: Closing session
OK.
To someone who know what they're doing, all of that code might mean something, but to me the only thing that counts is the OK at the end and that it obviously sees the device. If this doesn't happen it may be that your permissions for the 65-libmtp.rules file is wrong, So just chmod 666 for it and that should solve your problem.
Now the only thing left to do is Amarok. Fire up Amarok, go to settings. Click on media devices and add device. Very important. For the longest time I was beating my head against nearby inanimate objects because I had tried to add it manually before and accomplished nothing and made the foolish assumption that I had to auto detect it as all the people who solved their problems stated that they plugged it in and it simply worked. Anyways, add device, name it whatever your little heart desires (I simply named mine Creative_Zen) and select MTP device for the plugin and click ok. You should then be able to connect from the media device window. You may not be able to transfer any files without restarting Amarok like I did, but it's working now! Huzzah!
I apologize to the Forum Mods, I felt I needed to make this after all the time I spent trying to get it working and have no blog or personal website to post it on (le gasp! One could understand not having a website, but no blog in this day and age!? Scandalous!) and don't have any method to truly host it for long periods (perhaps indefinite) of time. This could go in the wiki, but since it's not focused so much on Arch I'm not sure if it belongs there.
I take no credit for finding this stuff, others online did all the hard work and this is just my condensed version of what I did. Good luck!

I was given an old 1GB Memorex MMP8568-SPT. When connected, Amarok detects it as an MTP device. What an unreliable pile of ****!
Anyway, I found the manual online and by holding the "play/pause" key down for more than three seconds, lo and behold, it switches to a simple USB flash drive mode which device managers pick up, drag and drop in dolphin etc etc. Phew!

Creative Zen 8 gb - no drag and dr

Hi there,
I just received my new Creative Zen and it took only 2 minutes until I almost decided to send it back. I plugged it in with the longest usb cable I've ever seen, opened the explorer - and didn't find the Zen.
A window opened that wanted to know which action to perform. But neither the Media Player nor winamp support work. Anyway, I do not even want that. I just want to drag and drop my files in Windows Explorer. Every 5 ? player supports that!
Windows XP, SP2
software: .2.0e
any help

Hell yes, it works. Forget that WMP piece of **bleep**! I had to uninstall it AND install this fix:
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...-v.0-WinXP.exe
This enables to use the Zen as a mass storage device. But I currently doubt that many people have that installed. Am I really expecting too much? Is it really that difficult for creative to make the Zen work at a ''normal'' PC?
the integration of SD Card music is even worse...
The device goes back tomorrow. I do not support something like that. Never again creative...

Creative Zen 8gb won't respond and just flashes blue li

Hi,
My 8gb creative zen mp3 player won't turn on and is not responsi've at all. The only response I get is when I plug it into the computer, where a faint blinking blue light flashes near the power button. However, even this blue light stops flashing after a period of time. I've tried resetting the mp3 player, and I've left it plugged to the computer to recharge if that was the problem, but still nothing.
Computer does not detect a playing device either.
Any help would be great!

My Creative zen 4gb can only be turned on when I connect it first to the computer, and after that, I can turn it on without the use of a computer. But if I don't use for a few hours, it won't turn on again, and I have to connect it to the computer again. Even if battery is full, I get the same problem. ?I've also used the recovery tool. Still same problem. Any idea how I can fix this?

Quicktime and other media players

On my girlfriends computer, when I download itunes with Quicktime on it her son cannot access multimedia that uses other media players. If we remove Quicktime, the problem goes away. We tried enable and disable access in Windows but that does not work. We need a way to install Quicktime so as not to interfere with other media players.
I dont like having to uninstall and re-install quicktime every time we want to use i-tunes. PLEASE HELP!

Thanks for your reply, Jim. I admit I'm not sure exactly what those classifications mean, but looking at all the file specs I could it was the only piece of info that didn't match.
I think something is getting disrupted during the import (possibly some strange bug in PP), because as I've said the original file exported with quicktime works fine. So I need to find a program or converter that won't alter my file at all upon import (like quicktime!!! ugh), but will give me numerous audio export options so that it's compatible with PP.
I vaguely remember someone saying to keep both the newest version of Quicktime and Quicktime 7 (??) on your computer because it had more detailed export options. Does anyone know anything else about this?
I'm afraid I can't do this project in iMovie, so I will need to get the file into PP. Maybe I'll try using iMovie just for the export options, any thoughts?
Thanks again.

Creative Zen Micro PlaysForSure/MTP Firmware 2.00

When installing the new firmware update version 2.00.2 on my Zen Micro, the Zen Micro Explorer and the Creative MediaSource Applications do not recognize the device when it is plugged in. I installed the software Update Package (v.00.) for 'Zen Micro Players with PlaysForSure/MTP Firmware' and I am experiencing the same results. I had to revert the player back to PDE Firmware v.0.03.
Please update forum if experiencing the same thing or have suggestions.

MediaSource won't work with the new v2 firmware, you can only use WMP and the updated version of the Zen Micro Media Explorer. I believe it does say this in the readme associated with the new firmware.

How to Set up the variables and others to compile and Run Java Programs

Hello,
I have just downloaded the jdk1.6.0_07 and jre1.6.0_07 and installed it in C:\Program files\Java in my Windows XP ,So please tell me how to sett up the enviroment variables etc to compile and run Java Programs from Command Prompt.
thanks

To set the PATH permanently, add the full path of the jdk1.6.0_<version>\bin directory to the PATH variable. Typically this full path looks something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_<version>\bin. Set the PATH as follows on Microsoft Windows:
1. Click Start > Control Panel > System on Windows XP or Start > Settings > Control Panel > System on Windows 2000.
2. Click Advanced > Environment Variables.
3. Add the location of bin folder of JDK installation for PATH in User Variables and System Variables. A typical value for PATH is:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_<version>\bin

L.G. Schneider and others: About CS6 and CS5.5

I am well behind the curve and ashamed. Be that as it may, I remain on OS10.6.8. AICS5.5 has performed well for me, and being the risk-averse coward that I am, I've stuck with what has worked. On a lark, today I downloaded AICS6, haunted all the while by memories of posts here about folks returning to 5.5 because of 6's (and then CC's) problems and insufficiencies.
Pattern maker and gradients on a stroke in CS6 are pleasing additions. I'm sure I'll find others. But can I trouble you for a brief overview of the deficiencies and setbacks in CS6 relative to 5.5? It would be helpful as I try to navigate from ancient software history to slightly less ancient software history.

Always value hearing from you, Monika.
I see the significant differences between the tracing features in CS5 and CS6. And now that you mention it, I recall some folks reporting some aspects of the CS6 version being better, some worse. But no GLITCHES in the newer version that I recall.
And yes, the potential Pantone problem is easily remedied.
Not to beat a dead horse, but I thought there had been reports of some bona fide DEFICIENCIES and BUGS in CS6 and maybe a few useful features that had been REMOVED from prior versions or that are PERFORMING LESS WELL. For example, one that I recall is that you can no longer select multiple layers in the Layers Panel by option-dragging through them (a pity).
Oh well. I'd posted the question looking for other such changes to be aware of (I know it's been a while since CS6 was "the version").

E90 - How to switch off GPS and other apps etc and...

I have just got my new E90 a few days ago, it is back on the market, so far it is terrific, no issues what so ever. However I thought I had exited the GPS app correctly, but the battery drained quite quickly as I think it was on ( few hours). How does one know what is running, eg is there is an equivalent Task manager like in Windows ? When I reboot and dont start the GPS the phone battery has lasted for days.
By the way - initally my E90 GPS took less than 1 minute to lock in, and thereafter it takes seconds. Quite amazing.

Not sure what you mean, you can only connect to a PC running PC suite and having the usb drivers installed.
More then this, access is triggered in one way PC to E90, not in the reverse !
I didn't event tested it, but almost sure it won't work.

HT1338 Selecting HD DVD will this work on other DVD Players and a PC?

Is anyone aware if you select HD DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4 and then burning a DVD, the DVD will not play in a regular DVD Player or a PC.
However, it will work in the Mac Computer. I read that HD DVD will work on eairler Mac and some Toshiba DVD Players.
If this is true, has Apple corrected this problem? Thanks in advance for any info regrading this situation.
Have a great day.

Creative Zen X-FI 2 rebuilding and start up problems!

I finally upgraded and got a new Zen X-FI 2 64gb player and so far it seems to be a nice player. But there are two significant problems that are making me really miss my Vision W and making me consider returning my player.
The first problem occurs when ever I sync or charge my mp3 player on my computer. Whenever I'm done charging or syncing my player and disconnect it from my computer, it takes a long time to rebuild and it rebuilds multiple times before the player finally starts up. Also, I not sure if my player is suppose to rebuild oppose to just updating the library like the way the Vision W did.
Second problem occurs when I actually shut down my player. It also takes a significantly long time to turn on to the point where I am considering of never turning my player off which is not convenient when it comes to trying to save battery power.
So please tell me if this is normal for a Zen X-FI 2 64gb player and if not, is there any way to fix these problems? By the way I have the latest firmware.
Thanks!

Hi,
The player is supposed to rebuild, but not multiple times in a row, and it shouldn't take very long. I've read about others who were having the same problem, and they solved it by formatting the player. You might want to try that, but first make sure to backup all your music that's on it! You can format it from the Recovery Mode.

Ghettoblaster, a term that can be considered insulting or complimentary depending on the context, is a portable [url="http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=6pibvpi5v022?method=4&dsid=2222 &dekey=Stereo&gwp=8&curtab=2222_&sbid=lc02a" target=_top>stereo[/url] system capable of playing [url="http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=6pibvpi5v022?method=4&dsid=2222 &dekey=Radio+station&gwp=8&curtab=2222_&sbid=lc02a " target=_top>radio stations[/url] or recorded [url="http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=6pibvpi5v022?method=4&dsid=2222 &dekey=Music&gwp=8&curtab=2222_&sbid=lc02a" target=_top>music[/url] at relati'vely high volume. Synonyms include boombox.
The word ghettoblaster originated in the [url="http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=6pibvpi5v022?method=4&dsid=2222 &dekey=United+States&gwp=8&curtab=2222_&sbid=lc02a " target=_top>U.S.[/url], apparently reflecting the belief that such systems are popular in [url="http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=6pibvpi5v022?method=4&dsid=2222 &dekey=Ghetto&gwp=8&curtab=2222_&sbid=lc02a" target=_top>poor inner-city neighborhoods[/url], especially those populated by [url="http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=6pibvpi5v022?method=4&dsid=2222 &dekey=African+American&gwp=8&curtab=2222_&sbid=lc 02a" target=_top>black Americans[/url].
The term carries a connotation of power and disregard of social rules, shown in the ability to blast music to overwhelm those around you, as portrayed in the film [url="http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=6pibvpi5v022?method=4&dsid=2222 &dekey=Do+the+Right+Thing&gwp=8&curtab=2222_&sbid= lc02a" target=_top>Do the Right Thing[/url] by [url="http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=6pibvpi5v022?method=4&dsid=2222 &dekey=Director+%28film%29&gwp=8&curtab=2222_&sbid =lc02a" target=_top>director[/url] [url="http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=6pibvpi5v022?method=4&dsid=2222 &dekey=Spike+Lee&gwp=8&curtab=2222_&sbid=lc02a" target=_top>Spike Lee[/url]. Dispute over a ghettoblaster was a central role in that movie's culminating riot.
The word is racially inflammatory in some circumstances but has also been embraced as a term of black, urban pride?and, like many such terms, has been adopted by parts of the non-black American community. It is used as the name of at least one [url="http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=6pibvpi5v022?method=4&dsid=2222 &dekey=Magazine&gwp=8&curtab=2222_&sbid=lc02a" target=_top>magazine[/url] and one [url="http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=6pibvpi5v022?method=4&dsid=2222 &dekey=Record+label&gwp=8&curtab=2222_&sbid=lc0 2a" target=_top>recording company[/url].

II'm having the same exact problem! I rented this movie and tried to download it. It got all the way to the "processing" stage at the end but then failed and I had to retry the download. Well it kept saying that I had to retry so I restarted my iPad and checked tried to I check under my downloads in the iTunes Store. The downloads tab had disappeared so I decided to check under my videos and sure enough it was there. I went to the movie and there was a play arrow and a cloud with an arrow on it to download it. I tried to play it and I brought me to the movie screen but then closed and brought me back to the home page. Then I tried to download it from there but it would just say: "You've already rented this movie but it is not download. Go to the iTunes Store to manage your downloads." So I go back to the iTunes Store but can't find downloads anywhere. (it's not by the purchased tab on the bottom right) I tried to search the movie again and instead of saying rent or buy, it says watch but when I try to tap "watch" it bring me to videos and the black movie screen but then closes again!! This is extremely frustrating and if anyone knows what to do that would be great. also I rented a movie today (divergent) to see if my previous movie, Hancock (the one I'm having troubles with) would appear in the downloads also. Sadly it did not, but divergent downloaded and played with no problems and it is also a larger movie.
