I was able to fix this on Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic), which comes with libmtp-common=1.1.13 by installing a newer version of libmtp 1.1.16. Now Ubuntu transfers huge numbers of songs between my phone and laptop by simply drag-and-drop in Nautilus.
sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config wget libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-dev
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/libmtp/libmtp/1.1.16/libmtp-1.1.16.tar.gz tar xzf libmtp-1.1.16.tar.gz cd libmtp-1.1.16
./configure make sudo make install
I didn't even have to uninstall the old version, and also no need for android-file-transfer or jmtpfs.
