Creative Zen (and other MTP players) and Amarok: A quick guide
Hi. Odds are if you're looking at this you've been directed here by a search engine because you've typed in something to the effect of Creative Zen+Amarok or MTP+Amarok. This is meant to be a quick and dirty little rundown of what you need to do to get your Zen or possibly other MTP player working. This isn't a scientific paper and thus there will be many many variables that may or may not have anything to do with getting it to work, and may not work with every other MTP player out there. Now, down to business.
The first thing you probably want to have is libmtp, Amarok, and libusb. In my case I did it with libmtp 0.2.6.1-1, Amarok 1.4.10-2, and libusb 0.1.12-3. Others have apparently gotten this working with older versions so if there is some reason you can't upgrade or you happen to be a time traveler who printed this out before disrupting the natural chronological order this might work even with older versions. If you do however happen to have an older version of Amarok you might have to compile in libmtp support, but this is beyond the scope of this little guide. Google it. Also my user belongs to audio, optical, video, storage, network, Hal, Dbus, and wheel. The only groups I believe are necessary are storage, audio, Hal and Dbus. But I haven't tested under those conditions
For some reason when libmtp is installed it doesn't install a set of udev rules, so the first thing you need to do is is create a file called:
/etc/udev/rules.d/65-libmtp.rules

LABEL="libmtp_rules_end"This is the basic set of identifiers for Media Devices on Amarok. Amarok does indeed keep a page which may or may not be updated http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:MTP.
As it says on that page we want to make sure that the device is recognized. If your device is listed on the list above then you can skip straight to the part about libmtp but if it isn't then you need to start with libusb to construct your devices I.D.
lsusb-vYou should see a fairly sizeable output, but what we're interested in is at the very top (assuming you only have your media device plugged in).
In my case it's:
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 041e:4157 Creative Technology, Ltdand even in that all we really care about is the ID:041e:4157. The first number is the idVendor and the second is the idProduct. All you have to do is copy one of the other examples and subsistute your numbers in mind and name.
# Creative Zen
SYSFS{idVendor}=="041e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4157", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="666", GROUP="audio"You probably noticed that GROUP="audio" on the end. I don't know whether or not it is significant but others have mentioned that they could not get it to work until they had that. So I would add that to any device I want to use if it doesn't work and you've done everything else
Next you want to see if libmtp detects your device. Go back to the console and type:
mtp-detectYou should get a pretty long output something like this:

WMPInfo.xml Does not exist on this device
PTP: Closing session
OK.To someone who know what they're doing, all of that code might mean something, but to me the only thing that counts is the OK at the end and that it obviously sees the device. If this doesn't happen it may be that your permissions for the 65-libmtp.rules file is wrong, So just chmod 666 for it and that should solve your problem.
Now the only thing left to do is Amarok. Fire up Amarok, go to settings. Click on media devices and add device. Very important. For the longest time I was beating my head against nearby inanimate objects because I had tried to add it manually before and accomplished nothing and made the foolish assumption that I had to auto detect it as all the people who solved their problems stated that they plugged it in and it simply worked. 
Anyways, add device, name it whatever your little heart desires (I simply named mine Creative_Zen) and select MTP device for the plugin and click ok. You should then be able to connect from the media device window. You may not be able to transfer any files without restarting Amarok like I did, but it's working now! Huzzah! 
I apologize to the Forum Mods, I felt I needed to make this after all the time I spent trying to get it working and have no blog or personal website to post it on (le gasp! One could understand not having a website, but no blog in this day and age!? Scandalous!) and don't have any method to truly host it for long periods (perhaps indefinite) of time. This could go in the wiki, but since it's not focused so much on Arch I'm not sure if it belongs there.
I take no credit for finding this stuff, others online did all the hard work and this is just my condensed version of what I did. Good luck!

Re: Creative Zen (and other MTP players) and Amarok: A quick guide
Nice guide
I already got this to work, in the past, but it's nice to have it all in one place.

Re: Creative Zen (and other MTP players) and Amarok: A quick guide
I was given an old 1GB Memorex MMP8568-SPT. When connected, Amarok detects it as an MTP device. What an unreliable pile of ****!
Anyway, I found the manual online and by holding the "play/pause" key down for more than three seconds, lo and behold, it switches to a simple USB flash drive mode which device managers pick up, drag and drop in dolphin etc etc. Phew!
