Some documentation to that effect would be nice. This is not something
I would have known.

Nope. In Amarok 2.0.2, simply hooking up my MTP player causes Amarok
to crash. In the nightly build, it recognizes that my MTP device
exists, but won't do anything with it, won't even dock it.

Nope. This doesn't work. It doesn't even import my entire collection
(only two tracks out of over 1,000), and doesn't import playlists at
all. In all my Googling I have not found a single instance of this
feature working at all for anyone.

I do. I've looked at each feature, and Googled each one that doesn't
seem to work, and have not found a single fix for any of them.
