Music Sync with Rythmbox(Ubuntu)

[Guest factro]

hi

I dont if ne1 has tryed this..:( ..sorry if this is not new...I use Ubuntu 10.04 and its pretty easy to transfer music to Blade. But I liked the iphone's way of transferring from rythmbox. Iphone is recognize in rythmbox but our blade is not recognize that way. I think this method even work for itune but I have not tryed yet. What I did to make blade recognize like iphone in rythmbox as follow.

1. I copied following files iphone that has been sync.

com.apple.itunes.lock_sync

com.apple.itdbprep.postprocess.lock

com.apple.dbaccess.lock

and this folder

iTunes_Control

and place at root of sdcard.

tada ;), its now recognized by rythmbox and it also sync like iphone and i think its pretty fast tooo..

or if you dont like this way, you can just make a empty file with this name

".is_media_player" or ".is_audio_player" and place that file in root of sdcard

but the problem with this way is, it is recognized by rythmbox but it just place folder of artist in root, and its not so organized like above method.

Your last idea, .is_audio_player s the best, and if you put the right text in that file it will solve your folder problem.

it seems the full audio supported list is: AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, MP3, WMA, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, WAV OGG so I think this list will work:

audio_folders=MUSIC/,RECORDINGS/

folder_depth=2

output_formats=audio/x-ms-wma,application/ogg,audio/mpeg,audio/amr-wb,audio/amr,audio/x-wav,audio/mp4,audio/MP4A-LATM

[Guest rayraven]

Nice tip! I personally prefer using a file manager myself though :(

I'd rather have some way of using rsync, but Banshee seems to be best for me so far (and it will be the default in 11.04 :().

All I want in banshee is better TV Show/Move separation.

[Guest factro]

No.

I'm surprised if it takes a long time, it ought to be quick.

[Guest rayraven]

Isnt banshee supposed to be able to sync to android phones?

Their website has an image of syncing to the G1.

[Guest Phoenix Silver]

it's the same tip for banshee

you can add name=ZTE-Blade in file .is_audio_player (or another name no matter)

Good tip.

I use the mtools "mlabel" command to set a DOS volume label on mine, and that becomes the mount-point name
