Unable to mount MP3 player - Mint 17 [SOLVED]

[ClutchDisc]

Hey guys, I got my dad going on Mint 17 Mate instead of Mint 13 Mate. Everything is great, however his MP3 player won't mount. Here is the error message I get when I try to mount the MP3 player.

Code: Select all

Unable to mount Sansa Clip Zip
Unable to open MTP device '[usb:001,009]'

I don't know where to go from there... any help is greatly appreciated. Here is the output of inxi -F from my dads computer:

Hi,

Can you mount it on another PC ?
Perhaps you need to change a setting on the mp3 player to put it in mpt mode
or perhaps it is defective, or the usb port is defective

Going to try another PC now. I don't think its either the USB port, or the player as both worked fine in Mint 13. Don't see any options on the player to put it in mpt mode.

To use this mp3 player in Linux, you need to set it to 'MSC' mode, via Settings > System > USB mode.

Just figured that out playing around with it! Tried setting it to mpt on the player and it wouldn't show the music files. Switched it to MSC and it works just like it did on Mint 13. Thanks all!! This is now solved.
