Yes, please see here:

What about

It is likely that the microSD card can be mounted and used as a
Universal Mass Storage (UMS) device, whose support is also planned for
this summer as outlined in the link above.  That said, devices like
the Fuze may use a particular way of organizing music in the microSD
card that vary greatly, and Amarok cannot account for all of these.
If, however, you are comfortable treating it as a UMS and the Fuze
treats it the same way, then it will be supported after this summer.
