Re: Zen Sleek

Yep, looks like you're right, it's an MTP device.  Sad.  gphoto2
doesn't even let
me list the files on it.  :(

I looked a bit more into the PlaysForSure thing.  There is a logo on
the back of the
box toward the bottom, so small it's not really readable, but it's there.

Linux users beware: if this logo appears on the box, the player is an MTP player
that is not supported (at least yet), even though the gphoto web page says
specifically that it is supported.

Linus: I would dig right into the code and implement MTP, but I
stopped coding in
C way back in 1995 when Java became available.  :)  I'm going to see if I can
find a different Zen Sleek that isn't the MTP one.

Thanks for the help and info, guys.
