Sansa m250 in Clementine

[AnotherUser]

Hello,

I have an old Sansa m250 portable mp3 player. When I plug it into my fully updated PCLOS system, notifier tells me that I can mount that device which, if I do, I can see the files and folders within it. However, when I go into Clementine and click on Devices, nothing shows up. Any suggestions?

Here's some interesting info from CLI

Code: [Select]

Have you tried accessing it from Clementine without allowing anything else to mount it?

Also this quote might help, although it relates to a 280

• Use under Linux:
  After upgrading the Firmware in Windows using the firmware updater downloaded from SanDisk, I set out to see if the device would work under Linux (Suse 10.1). With the USB mode on the player set to "MSC", the e280 appeared as an ~8GB storage drive, to which .mp3 files could be added. Music could also be added easily using Amarok (version 1.44). Artist and title tags used by Amarok were recognized by the e280. Currently, only MSC mode appears to be useful--when the USB mode on the e280 was set to "MTP" the device would not work with Amarok. The lack of MTP function is not critical--the device in MSC mode works very smoothly with Amarok, and I would still recommend this player to Linux/Amarok users.

Is it possible to set the Sansa as a storage device?

if i remember correctly that device works only as mtp device

mtp in linux has no real support yet, if clementine with the plugins to handle it can't open the contents to manage songs, the only option would be dualboot with windows to copy files i think
