mp3 player not recognised

[pelouk]

Having previously managed my Zen mp3 player on a Windows machine, I've now switched exclusively to Linux Lite 2.8.

My machine now will not recognise the player plugged in to any usb connection. Any ideas?

Also, and I guess it's a long shot, is their any possible support for Zen Media Manager/Organiser on Linux?

Try this software, open a terminal and do:

Code:

sudo apt-get install gnomad2

[pelouk]

Thanks for that. It looks simple and I'll certainly try it.

First, though, I've got to get the system to recognise my usb-connected player. Doesn't show up in Drives.

Install the software first, then you can move onto the next step.

[pelouk]

OK,  it's installed.

The software installed but the player is still not recognised.

You may need a restart. Can you also tell us the make and model no. Also please paste the output of lsusb in the terminal.

Just tried a restart and has made no difference. Here is the result of the lsusb:-

The player is a Creative Zen 8gb model.

What is the output of:

Code:

sudo mtp-detect

with the Zen plugged in?

[pelouk]

OK, here's the result:-
