Now that you mention it, Isaac, I don't think there is a reason to. The default setting on the device is "automatic", so XP chooses MTP instead of MSC. I should be able to change the setting to MSC (<a href="http://service.real.com/rhapsody/support.html?section=SansaRTG">
http://service.real.com/rhapsody/support.html?section=SansaRTG</a>) and not worry about the libmtp driver.<br><br> <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/26/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Isaac Atilano</b> <<a href="mailto:aristophrenic@warpmail.net">

<br><br>I think it is using MTP (<br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol</a>). Looks like I have<br>a<br>couple of options:<br><br>gphoto: <a href="http://www.gphoto.org/">

<br>is<br>based on libmtp. Can anyone recommend the gphoto or libmtp forks?<br><br>On 4/26/06, Noah Markon <<a href="mailto:nmarkon@gmail.com">nmarkon@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>><br>> Opps should have sent this to the list..
