The Galaxy Nexus is detected, yet dropping files on it shows a notification that the files do already exist on the device.

mtp-connect --sendfile works.
jmtpfs works, kio-mtp works as well. This clearly hints at amarok being the culprit.
In case mtp functionality is simply unmaintained, please remove it from amarok.

Removing it would be actually a regression, which we try to avoid. Complete rewrite of the MTP Collection is needed, you can help us achieving it by either writing code or financially.

Even if it works for some it is broken for most and does not get better over time but worse. That bad experience falls back on the rest of the application. So removing it is the only sensible thing to do IMHO. > Complete rewrite of > the MTP Collection is needed, you can help us achieving it by either writing > code or financially. It's too late for that. Since there was no feedback and hence no perspective that it will ever work or that anyone is interested in the buggy code I simply left amarok and moved on to the tools that work for me and are maintained.
Since reporting bugs and writing down which other apps work using the same libs, i.e. trying to find out whether its a lib or amarok problem is called nasty in the amarok community, I'll close this bug and act as if it never happened. If you do not want people to care about amarok, that's what you get.
