Got this player just a week ago and Linux have already shown it's dark side. Ubuntu doesn't recognize it.it uses some kind of a getaway which works just fine with Windows Media Player but as soon as I try it on Linux, nothing happens, unless I install Wine, and even then, it just shows the file list .. no way ( Nautilus / Rhythmbox just hangs ) I could remove/add any files.
View 1 RepliesSo I have heard that it needs to be resized and be a different file type I think. How can I do this in Ubuntu?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with the system detecting my Sony Walkman NWZ-S639F. When I plug the device, the player's screen says 'Connecting', however nothing shows up on the laptop screen. When I was running Linux Mint 10, the player connected with no problem, and since Mint 10 is basically Ubuntu 10.10 with extra software, I think that I miss certain software packages.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Sony Walkman NWZ-S545. I have Rhythmbox 0.12.8. I have a System 76 amd64 computer. I have run Ubuntu (now 10.1) for a couple of years and before that Linspire and haven't had MS Windows for years.
What I want is to be able to simply transfer music files from my computer to the Walkman. Nothing fancy. Drag and drop is fine. (I was hoping that it would be shown on the desktop, that I could open it and access it and drag files to it.)
I looked in Ubuntu help and found: "Ubuntu will work with most portable audio players, including iPods. Normally, all you have to do is plug the player into your computer and then use Rhythmbox to copy songs to and from the player."
When Rhythmbox didn't recognize it and no icon appeared on my computer screen indicating it was plugged in as an external device, I went back to Ubuntu help and found and installed the mtpfs and mtp-tools packages and made sure that the MTV plugin in Rhythmbox was checked. Now Rhythmbox could see the Walkman BUT could not play any songs! And there was no Walkman icon on the desktop.
When I tried to play the 5 sample songs on the Walkman, I got one of these 3 errors:
a. Couldn't start playback - no file name specified for reading
b. No URI set
c. Unable to copy file from MTP device: PTP Layer error 02ff: LIBMTP_Get_Filemetadata(): call to ptp_mtp_getobjectpropssupported() failed.
(BTW, my Rhythmbox setting under preferences - music is for .ogg - can see other options under edit but cannot switch to them. My mp3 songs transferred from my external hard drive to Ryhthmbox beautifully and play just fine)
After further searching, I read I should confirm that libmtp8 was installed and I found that it was.
So I went to Ubuntu Rhythmbox help and read: "If Rhythmbox Music Player does not detect your device as a portable audio player, you can create an empty file named .is_audio_player at the top level hierarchy of the filesystem of your player."
OK - I am stuck here at several levels:
1) Is this what really needs done?
2) If so, how? (I searched ".is_audio_player" and came up with several comments and how-tos, all seeming to involve going into the root directory and inserting an empty file somewhere. First of all, I can't get into my root directory even as the administrator with full privileges! Secondly, I know enough to know that even if I could - I shouldn't!
Title says it all.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a NWZ-e344 Walkman and I'm trying to to get it into mtp mode. I have created a .mpi file that that shows the Walkman as a music device instead of a flashdrive.
While in root account it shows up as a mtp device but not in my regular account how can i get it to read as a mtp device like it does in root in my regular account?
It worked fine in every other version of Ubuntu, but now when I plug it in, it will appear in the 'devices' section in Rhythmbox, but not anywhere in nautilus. I am using Ubuntu 10.04, with my Sony Walkman (looks like a USB drive with a screen and buttons)
Is this some Apple-like music security feature? is there any way around it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've just today received my copy of Ubuntu 10.04, and I have to say so far I'm loving it a whole lot more than Ubuntu 9.10. However I am having one problem with managing my iPhone 3G. The device shows up in Rhythmbox, but I am unable to add music to the iPhone library.
I'm using the iPhone 3.1.3 firmware, so I know that's not an issue. Has anyone got any idea as to how to solve this?
Is there any apps for Ubuntu that can play a song at a slower speed yet keep the tone (like windows media player)? For instance I want to play a song at half speed so I can learn the guitar part... I have done this with windows.

on itunes i would just select the song --> get info (or properties for this) and add it to the song
i cant find anything in rhythmbox for this, although it does display the artwork thats already on there
i know about gtxpod but i hate the interface and it's given me tons of problems already
banshee for some reason reads my music as video and my video as music
took me like an hour to put my street fighter music on a friggin ipod before i just gave up on trying to attach the cover art
iPhone 3G; Ubuntu 11.04; tried Banshee, Rythmbox, and Amarok. It looks like the songs went on my iPhone when I look at Rythmbox or Banshee under Devices. However, when I go to to the iPhone, I cannot see the songs under iTunes. Nothing is there

View 3 Replies View Relatedis there a way of playing songs that are available in the internet using totem music player, or any other application. for example, this link http://fizy.com/s/1ai91v refers to a song that is present on a web page. i want to play it on a music player, and many other songs also. my aim is to create a playlist of songs that are available on the internet. so i can listen to those songs whenever i am online.
what is a smart way of doing it.? i dont mean downloading, because those songs cant be downloaded but can only be listened.
For some reason, Rhythmbox will show itself playing a song (the notification in the top right corner) but I hear no sound. I can go to the application itself and see the play slider moving. I can't pause it or anything. if it's a bug in Rhythmbox itself. If I browse to the directory, and right click > Open with Rhythmbox, it works perfectly (although I still can't pause it)
Also, if I jump to another song, and then play the song it was playing silently, it works. Not sure why it does this.
I doubt it's the files themselves because I've been downloading all my songs from one site, and never had an issue in iTunes on a windows PC. It only does this to about 3 songs out of 164. It used to do this to only 2, but now it's doing it to 3 since the past few days when adding more songs.
I ripped 2 music CDs for a total of 78 minutes, but K3b won't burn them to a blank CD-R. It says the free space in temporary folder is 615.5 MB, but the size of project is 691.5 MB. I don't know why the tmp directory is that small when I have 615 GB free on my filesystem. When I start the burn, it simply says copying, but nothing shows up in the progress bars. I am able to burn direct copies of CDs, however. After a couple of tries and a couple of successful burns of entire CDs, I tried again, and it crashed.

I temporarily fixed this by disabling all extensions, reenabling them, then restarting Banshee, but the problem came back a few minutes later.
I want to listen to my iPod Touch 4g using Banshee, connecting is not a problem, my problem is that all the songs are protected so when one song is done it just stays there idle it doesn't play any other songs. Is there a way to unprotect them so I can listen to them w/o worrying about it turning idle?
