Do others have as much trouble as I do accessing their Android phones from a Fedora desktop?
I never liked using MTP to transfer music to and from my android devices. For years after many Android devices dropped USB mass storage access, I simply installed an ssh daemon on the device and enabled that when I wanted to send/receive music.
Slowly, it became more of a pain to do this without unlocking the device, but then I ran across Termux (https://termux.com/) and it's fantasic for this and many other situations. I much prefer using rsync to sync my music from computer to phone and vice versa.
FWIW, I've never found MTP to be capable of syncing large directories. It's sometimes alright for small amounts of files, but it's just awful when trying to sync a large music collection. It's both slow as a turd compared to rsync and the implementations I've used are buggy as hell -- disconnecting or completely failing to sync.
(And no, in case anyone asks, I have not filed any bugs or patches for mtp tools in fedora, since I simply prefer to use rsync.)
