Working with Media Devices
Use Amarok to play music from media devices such as MTP devices, iPods, and generic USB devices.
Connecting Media Devices
Connect your media device using the USB cable. The device notifier applet in KDE will automatically pop up with a list of all available media devices. Click on the 
icon to access your device.
Play Music from the Media Device
Or just wait until your device shows up in Amarok, which will take anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or more, to scan the device for music tracks. Until then the vfat volume will show 0 tracks.
After the scan, Amarok will display all the music tracks available in the Media Device, which you can then move to the Playlist to play them, or copy or move to your Local Collection.
