Declare device / SDCard in Rythmbox

Sometimes a SDcard or Android device does NOT appear in Rythmbox. :/

You need to create some folder + a .is_audio_player file to the root of your device / SDcard.


0. Create target folders

  • Create Music folder on your SDcard / device
  • Create Video folder too


1. Create configuration file

cd /media/ANDROID

touch .is_audio_player
chmod 777 .is_audio_player
vim .is_audio_player


2. Put the following content (adjust the content)

name="Xiongmaos card"
audio_folders=Music/
video_folders=Video/
folder_depth=2
output_formats=audio/mpeg,audio/mp4,audio/flac,audio/ogg,audio/aac
playlist_formats=audio/x-scpls
playlist_path=Music/Playlists/


3. You can relaunch Rythmbox. Your card should appear ! :-)
