=Summary=<br />
MTP is the "Media Transfer Protocol" and is used by many MP3 players such as the Creative Zen and some Walkmans. It is part of the "Windows Media" Framework and has close relationship with Windows Media Player<br />
=Using MTP With Arch=<br />
==Installation==<br />
MTP support is provided by the [http://libmtp.sourceforge.net/ libmtp] package, to install:<br />
pacman -S libmtp<br />
You then get a number of tools to use from the command line (such as mtp-detect). Use:<br />
mtp-detect<br />
to detect/connect to the device.<br />
<br />
==Using media players==<br />
You can also use your mtp device in music players such as amaroK. To do this you may have to edit "/etc/udev/rules.d/65-libmtp.rules":<br />
To do this run:<br />
lsusb -v<br />
and look for your device, it will be something like:<br />
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 072b:4847 W Technology<br />
in which case the entry would be:<br />
SYSFS{idVendor}=="072b", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4847", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="666"<br />
<br />
{{Note | After installing MTP you may have to reboot for your device to be recognised''}}</div>Ripperapidhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Media_Transfer_Protocol&diff=94744Media Transfer Protocol2010-02-01T22:32:43Z<p>Ripperapid: /* Installation */</p>
