ANDROID (MTP) DEvICE OPERATION
Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is a standard developed for connecting media (music)
devices over USB. It has been adopted on a number of platforms including Android.
FUSION currently supports a range of smartphones utilising MTP.
Refer to www.fusionelectronics.com for the latest list of support devices.
CONNECTING A MTP Device
Connect a FUSION UNI-Dock (MS-UNIDOCK) to gain the benefits of integrated housing
and charging for your MTP device. Alternatively your device USB cable can be used to
connect to the MS-RA205.
LISTENING TO A MTP DEvICE
Press ‘Source’ button and cycle to MTP. Playback will start automatically. Only available
if a MTP device is connected.
INITIAL SONG TITLE LOADING FROM MTP DEVICES
Following connection to the USB connector, the MS-RA205 will download the full
list of song names from the device to create a song title index. This process must be
completed before music playback can begin. For devices with large music collections
this may take several minutes. The song count will be displayed during this process.
Other sources can be selected while this process is underway. The file name download
and indexing will continue as a background task.
Note: Your entire music collection may not be available for playback. Only audio tracks
stored in MP3 or M4A format are indexed.
MUSIC FOLDER STRUCTURE
FUSION recommends that folders contain no more than 300 files each. Exceeding this
limitation may cause the phone to become unresponsive and the FUSION Stereo to
reset the USB link to the phone. Music files must be located in a folder using one of the
following names. The folder must be located in the root directory of your device.
My Music
My_Music
mobile
Music
SD cards may be used on devices that support them. Songs may be copied to both the
phone’s internal memory and the external memory. The rules regarding folder naming
apply to both memory types.
MTP DEvICE NAvIGATION
Press the ‘Menu’ button to enter the MTP menu. Songs stored in MP3 and M4A format
(see note below) can be played on the FUSION Stereo. The FUSION Stereo will display
your music collection in groupings of Songs, Albums and Artists allowing you to browse
in these categories. In addition to the above groupings your music collection can be
browsed according to the folder structure on your device. The root folder for each
storage memory on your device memory will be displayed in the Settings menu, for
example; PHONE, CARD, etc. Storage card locations on phones are also supported.
Note: Different operating systems and phones provide varying levels of support for
MTP. Please refer to www.fusionelectronics.com for device compatibility information.
