Sounds very nice!

For what it's worth, what I have been looking at is adding support for
media-player-info to the udev backend.

This should allow us to report what protocols a given device supports
("storage", "ipod" and "karma", in addition to the already supported
"mtp"), this is what is needed to make Amarok's ipodcollection work
again. We will also get nice names and icons for the various devices
(screenshot with current code attached, the plural device name is a
bug in media-player-info).

I think everything works nicely (it was a very minimal amount of code
needed), except for one thing:

I'm using QSettings to parse media-player-info's ini-style config
files to get the required information. However, I cannot seem to make
it read past the first semicolon in a key, this means that when the
supported protocols are listed as "storage;ipod", QSettings only gives
me "storage". If anyone knows why this might be, and how to work
around it, I'd be very happy ;-)

Cheers,

Tom
