Bug Description
Binary package hint: amarok
amarok is for the moment not registered as x-content/
This make it impossible to select it as the player to start when an audio player is connected (like in the Nautilus media prefs).
Adding x-content/
unfortunately, the current .desktop file passes a parameter to Amarok, which load the playlist with the content of the media device.
See https:/
So a new .desktop file will probably be needed for amarok startup when a media device is plugged in.

OK, about that playlist being pupulated.
the original amarok.desktop file uses
Exec=amarok %U
Which will populate the playlist
I created a new amarok- player. desktop and gave it the proper mime type. It showed up in Nautilus and I selected it.
I used
Exec=amarok
and still the playlist got populated
man amarok does not give much info about arguments. -- could be considered as a flag signifying the end of the options, but does not work.
I ended up using
Exec=amarok --blah
this makes amarok start with whatever default argument passed to the blah option. As this option does not exist, nothing happens. amarok starts and no playlist gets loaded from the media device.
If that can help...
