MTP Device Support

Songbird 0.5 and above added MTP device support on Windows. The following is a list of devices that have been tested as being compatible with our MTP implementation per internal Songbird QA testing or via our community input. General known MTP device open issue with Songbird are listed here.

If you have a device that is not listed here it doesn't necessarily mean the device won't work, it just means that we haven't had an opportunity to try it. Below are links for providing additional device feedback to us.

How to Provide Additional Device Feedback

  • If you have a device that works but it is not listed here please email us.
    We'll add your device to the list above and notate that it was community tested.
  • If you have a device that does not work, or does not work as expected, we'd like to explore it further.
    Please file a bug with bugzilla providing the make and model of the device you tried, what versions of Songbird and the MTP Addon you tested it with, your Operating System, and any other comments that could help us investigate the issue. Thanks!

Since the list was getting long I thought it would better if the device types had their own deadicated list if the person who maintains the list thinks it fair they can remove the merged list & start to use these pages

Any plans to support these devices in Linux. How about a generic folder-to-folder sync?

As of the Songbird 0.7 release my Microsoft Zune isn't seen by Songbird, it worked almost like a native device in the 0.6.1 release. Note I'm using the 2.5 firmware version on the Zune for both, and I have the MTP Add on installed. edited 13:57, 1 Sep 2008

Any idea when cover art transfer will be supported for MTP devices? I have a Creative Zen 2GB and everything works, except Cover Art. Occassionally Songbird will not recognize my device, and I have to reconnect it to make it work. Otherwise, it works great!

There are some Erros(as my MTP Device is SONY WALKMAN NWZ-A818): 1.when I sync AAC files(.m4a) ,it doesn't work (A818 do really support this format) but mp4(audio) files will be transfered to VIDEO file 2. Some information like year,album may lose when I sync it to my player(it displays UNKOWN) 3.Some Chinese Charater can not display correctly. BTW, I really like this software but I get in trouble with these three difficulties. Can you fix them and make the software even more better? Thanx for your nice work! ^^

I find it disheartening that a product which aims to be cross-platform and open limits its MTP support to Windows. I know, I know, write it yourself.. If I was able to do so I would.
