#226 New Device Request: Sony Walkman NWZ-W273

I'm a bit confused so let me be clear on my side:

There were no other devices connected other than the Walkman (no CD-ROM).
I have no libraries that deal with android devices specifically; I simply have libmtp and its dependencies.
I'm using Arch Linux.

I plugged in then ejected the device. However, the output of mtp-detect didn't change.

Whjat is needed is usually to eject the mass storage device (a CDROM) and then the device will reconnect as Android device.

Can you eject the device and see if the mtp-detect output changes?

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way of doing that. The device is a simple plug and play. I just connect it the same way when using my windows partition. So linux recognises it as mass storage but windows as mtp and suggests Windows Media Player when plugged.

I can access this device via the MTP protocol through Sony's MediaGo. However, it isn't detected by libmtp. Though I can still mount it as a USB mass storage device.

$ mtp-detect
libmtp version: 1.1.12
