Can I fake Amarok into thinking my SD card is a "Media Device"?

Amarok only supports iPods. Not very handy for any other media
devices.



I've created a workaround solution of sorts.

You have to download a python program I have written called
m3utransfer, available at http://linux.marklambert.net/m3utransfer.

Then make the file executable. You can cover both steps with the
following commands:


Code:
--------------------
    $ wget http://linux.marklambert.net/m3utransfer

  $ chmod a+x m3utransfer

  $ sudo mv m3utransfer /usr/bin
--------------------




Create a playlist in Amarok, then save it. For demonstration purposes,
let's say this playlist is called *playlist.m3u*

Make sure your SD card is mounted (do a quick listing of */media/*), in
my case it is my mp3 player mounted at */media/JoyBee120/MP3*



Then run the following command:


Code:
--------------------
    $ m3utransfer playlist.m3u /media/JoyBee120/MP3
--------------------




The program will parse your m3u file and copy the mp3 files to whatever
directory you have specified.
