Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox-plugins

When I connect my Nokia N95 and select "Media player" mode, the phone presents itself to the computer as an MTP compatible device and (with some crashing I'll report separately) it'll allow rhythmbox to manage the music collection on it.

Unfortunately when I sync new music onto the N95, it lands in the root folder of the memory card. I then need to go into the filemanager on the phone, reconnect the phone as a mass storage device or pull out the memory card and manually shuffle it such that the files are popped into the correct folder.

Is there a way in MTP mode of telling rhythmbox it needs to put the music lower in the folder heirarchy, similar to how one does it with normal mass storage devices? I tried dropping an ".is_audio_player" file containing:

audio_folders=sounds/digital/
folder_depth=2

... on the device, but I don't think it pays attention to this in MTP mode.
