An interface to Digital Audio Players implementing Media Transfer Protocol with a focus on MTP features such as metadata, albums, and playlists.
The user interface hasn't yet changed much from the last published 1.3.11 version, thus the original Usage document still applies.
Rationale
I've been using gMTP built from gmtp.sourceforge.io for the past 10 years, so decided to revive the development of gMTP and build it for the modern world.
Releases
Tarballs are published at gmtp.app/releases.
Source
$ git clone https://developer.gmtp.app/code/gmtp.git
Developing gMTP has bits I discovered while working on this project. I am not accepting contributions at the moment.
