I can't get my LG Optimus One to sync with Banshee. I read somewhere that the root needs to have an empty file called '.is_audio_player'.

I did that and it still doesn't mount.

I ran dmesg however and it appears that the card is unmounting before I even have a change to run Banshee.

  • After you've plugged in the android device, are you hitting the usb symbol and setting mass storage mode?

I don't know about the empty .is_audio_player file.

I have had a DROID and a DROID 2 Global and successfully synced ~10GB of music, both with the .is_audio_file in the root of the sdcard and the following contents:

audio_folders=data/Audio,amazonmp3/,media/,DCIM/
folder_depth=2
output_formats=application/ogg,audio/x-ms-wma,audio/mpeg,video/mp4,audio/x-aac,audio/aac,video/H263,video/H264,video/x-ms-wmv,audio/x-wav,audio/x-realaudio,audio/x-flac,audio/x-wavpack,audio/aacp,audio/x-musepack,audio/amr,audio/midi

I found the keys for these three settings in the source of either Banshee or Rhythmbox. The folder depth is how many folders are created under the first audio_folder path when syncing. So, for instance, this will give you data/Audio/Artist/Album/Song.mp3 If you were to change this to something like 8, you'd get data/Audio/A/r/t/i/s/t.... or something similar. I know, because my initial setting was 99 (I thought it was search depth).

Having amazonmp3 in the audio_folders path may cause Banshee to delete those mp3s, so be sure to pull them to the computer either manually or through Banshee before syncing.

I always found it very helpful to add a new rule for the device like it says on the android website

LG is 1004
