Version: (using KDE 4.3.1) Compiler: Whatever the Kubuntu dev's use OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages When I try to copy music from my Sansa Fuze (.mp3 player) to my home directory with amarok, amarok freezes. The exact process I go through is: Plug in Fuze Start Amarok Right Click on "Sansa Fuze" icon in playlist menu Select "Copy to local collection" Select "Ok" And then it freezes untill it is done copying the files, which can take quite a long time, and I had originally thought that amarok had crashed. However, after looking at the debug output, it seems to be copying the files just find, but the UI just stops working durring the copy process. From a useability standpoint, this isn't really that nice :/ but technically, it IS working...
What USB mode is the Fuze in? i'll try to reproduce this with mine. also what version of amarok is it?
Alright, info as requested: KDE Version: 4.2.4 Amarok Version: 2.1.1 I on the Fuze, I tried using both MSC and MTP usb modes. Amarok doesn't detect the Fuze when run as MSC, and produces the behavior I described above in MTP mode. If there's a new version of Amarok out somewhere I'd be happy to try that and report back...
Amarok 2.2 is out since a few weeks, and will be available in Karmic.
Just tried it in the Karmic beta, and the problem persists. I also just noticed that I can copy music to the Fuze from Amarok just fine, it seems that it is only the other direction which is problematic. Currently running Amarok 2.2.0 under KDE 4.3.2 from Kubuntu 9.10 beta.
FWIW, I can't reproduce this with the Sansa Clip in current Amarok 2.2-git

Is this still valid with current Amarok 2.2.1, 2.2.2 beta or 2.2-git?
Yes, I experience it consistently in 2.2.1 as I reported in bug 218158.
Right, my bad, I should have seen that. Correcting version and setting to confirmed.

Stil valid, using Amarok 2.2.2 with KDE 4.4 RC3 under Archlinux. Looks to me like this is similar tot the now solved Problem of the Amarok UI freezing while counting the Tracks on MTP Devices.

I'm currently building Amarok from current git. Will report again once that's done. The Problem basically comes down to this: Most MTP Operations freeze the UI until they are completed. The ones i have so far encountered: - Deleting Tracks from the Device - Transferring Tracks from the Device to the Local Collection The thing is that it only becomes obviuos when using said actions on many Tracks, for example one or more Albums with 10+ Tracks. My Player is a Sanza Fuze v2 One of those MTP related Problems was the one already solved that froze the UI when counting Tracks on the Device once it was recognized by Amarok. I read on the responsible Developers Blog that this had to do with the fact that all if that was aparently done in the UI Thread. So perhaps this is the cause here too?
Problems still exists in curent git.
Thank you for the fast feedback :)
Changing target.
Is this still valid for Amarok 2.4.3 or current git?
No, there is now a nice little progress bar at the bottom and ui stays fine. Fixed.
Thank you for the fast feedback.
