+mtpfs (mount MS Media Transport Protocol devices as a filesystem)
+
+MTPfs is a FUSE filesystem that supports reading and writing from any
+MTP device, as supported by libmtp. MTPfs includes extra features such
+as playlist and meta information support for MP3 players.
+
+Quickstart:
+
+- Ensure your user is in the "audio" group
+- Create a directory to use as a mount point (e.g. "mkdir ~/mtp")
+- Set media device to MTP mode, if necessary
+- Plug media device into USB port
+- Run mtpfs with the mount point dir as an argument (e.g. "mtpfs ~/mtp")
+- See /usr/doc/mtpfs-0.9/README, and the output of "mtpfs --help",
