So, february 2010 and still no support for MTP in MAC??? I see posts from 2008, come’n, people is getting their new mobile phones (n900 for instance) and their new beatiful macs, this is the time when the industry starts to battle the iphone and the itunes, I guess (for your future sake) that these basic features are very near to be presented. Otherwise, not mentioning that a group of users (me included) will be crying out there, you will lose a good oportunity to face itunes.

However, perhaps itunes is not you enemy, but spotify is …

I bought a Zen V Plus 4gb yesterday, got home and installed everything from the CD, but when I connected my Zen and the program tried to register it, it said it found no unregistered components. I ignored it and tried to open the Media Manager to add songs. It said there’s no player connected. I opened Windows Media Player and clicked ‘Sync’ and there’s no player there, either. Every time I connect the player, a Windows Wizard comes up asking me if I want to connect to the internet to install the driver for it. I tried clicking ‘yes’ once, but it said it couldn’t find any drivers. I checked the Device Manager and it says there’s a Creative Zen V connected but there’s a yellow warning icon next to it. I’ve tried reinstalling the software from the CD 4 times, and restarted my PC numerous times as well. My player does seem to be charging, as I left it connected to the PC for about 2 hours and now when I disconnect it the battery display is about 1/3 of the way full.

I tried the troubleshooting on Creative’s website, but no luck. I also tried a fix that seemed to be working for a lot of people with this problem, which was modifying the registry permissions for USB. I did that, but still no luck.
I’m running Windows XP Service Pack 2, 768mb ram, 2.8Ghz Pentium 4 on an HP Pavilion a410y machine.

This is an interesting development: my dad got one of these (a 1gb Zen V) for his birthday, and installed all the software on his PC (an HP Pavilion, different model than mine, 512 ram, 3.0ghz pentium 4). He succeeded in putting all his songs on my player, so I decided to try his PC, since he already had all the software. His PC’s Media Explorer recognized my player… and my player can play the radio and everything, so I’m guessing the problem is with my PC.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

@medyum, Songbird does only support MTP through the Windows Media Player, since all MTP player are supporting Windows, it should work with yours. And the most users are whining, since it is now over a year and there is no specific date or at least a milestone which you can find “MTP for Unix”.
I believe they don’t really want to support Unix. Since it is too unimportant for them.

This is exciting news. I can hardly wait for MTP support on Linux (although dismayed to see the whiney nature of the previous comments regarding multi-platform MTP support). Anyway, I’ll have to start looking into libMTP and see if there’s any way I can help out. Any idea if Samsung MTP devices will be supported? (It works in rhythmbox)

MTP support for Linux: please respond if you are working on this. If there is no-one working on it, I would like to have a go – I am at least somewhat familiar with the internals of libmtp which would appear to be the best choice of library for such an implementation. I am NOT, however, familiar with Songbird add-on development – so pointers to that side of it would be much appreciated (especially as it concerns “front-ending” an existing library).
