I don't expect I will have much time to look into implementing this in
the near future, perhaps it would be best if it was reassigned to
someone else if it's a priority feature?

I think in short it needs to be taught how to deal with the media files,
figuring out the artist/title and such via libid3 or some other
attribute library of the sort (as I recall, there was one generic one
which worked for many different formats), so that these can be exposed
by the mtp server when asked. From there files should show with proper
media tags rather than "Unknown".

Title:
  [generic] lack of media player support

Status in mtp package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  ENVIRONMENT:
  (any device) ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed build 13.
  mtp-server 0.0.4+14.10.20140827-0ubuntu1
  Windows 8.1 / Ubuntu / MacOS

  SUMMARY:

  When Ubuntu device is connected to the PC, selected Media Player is
  un-usable.

  PRE-REQUISITE:
  1) Ensure there are music files on the Ubuntu device

  STEPS:
  1) Connect Ubuntu device to PC over USB
  2) Load Windows Media Player / rhythmbox / any media player with MTP support
  3) Try and synchronise Ubuntu device or browse artists/albums/tracks on the Ubuntu device

  EXPECTED RESULT:
  1) Ubuntu device is recognised as MTP device
  2) Ubuntu device is listed in media player as media device
  3) It should be possible to view content on device and synchronise it with WMP

  ACTUAL RESULT:
  The track listing for the device is just a long list of files. (Unknown album/artist/genre)
  It is also not possible to add any tracks to the Ubuntu device using the sync feature: for example, Windows Media Player reports: "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while synchronising the file to the device".
