MTP Device Support for Windows

MTP Device Support for Windows Screenshot (2008-02-29)

One of the big features we’ll be releasing as part of Songbird 0.5 is MTP device support.

MTP, or Media Transfer Protocol, is used by many types of devices these days. It ends up being pretty awesome because it enables device manufacturers to create devices that can all have the same great user experience when interacting with the contents and managing it from Songbird! Sweet.

Initial support for MTP devices includes manually managing the contents of your device, managing playlists and transferring media files to/from your device.

So far we’ve gotten Sansa, Creative, Nokia and HTC devices to work within Songbird. Awesome.

I’d also like to mention the names of all of the engineers that worked on this feature, without their dedication, none of this would’ve been possible. So, without further adieu, here is your MTP device team: Aus, David, Erik, Keisuke, Mark and Steven!

Tell us what you think! :) You can try it out by getting the latest nightly and add-on here.

P.S. If you are a device manufacturer and you would like Songbird to support your MTP device, do get in touch with us.
