The quickest way to disable MTP Media Player

Nov 16, 2008 Tech Tips

This will show how to solve the MTP Media Player prompt up on the new USB devices, which disallow you from browsing the devices content using Windows Explorer. I will show you the fastest way to disable the MTP Media Player, without hurting anything and you could also enable MTP Media Player later as well.

Sony Walkman NWZ-B135F

This is the latest gadget i bought myself, the new Sony Walkman NWZ-B135F. Comparing to the previous model, NWD-B105F/B in term of the functionality it has added the Bass option, and it need only shorter recharge time and longer playback time.

Recharge Time
NWZ-B135F/L – Approx. 70 mins
NWD-B105F/B – Approx. 120 mins

Continuous Playback Time
NWZ-B135F/L – Approx. 16 hrs
NWD-B105F/B - Approx 12 hrs

This is what happen when you insert the Sony walkman into the computer, which running on Windows XP Service Pack 3 or Windows Media 10 and above. The MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) Media Player autorun.

The main purpose of the protocol is to transfer media files and associated metadata to/from devices, with optional additional support for remote control of the device, reading and setting of device parameters

The MTP features is almost useless, if you’re using WIndows Media Player 10 and below, therefore I could not rename my recording or even copying the recording to my notebook. Not to mention, added songs into it. If you notice the MTP Media Player autorun, only allow media player to manage your device.

    hi sir, i have the same problem that’s driving me nuts for over 2 years. my sony walkman NWZ- B133F (B) is almost the same with your device, and having the same problem. but in addition,i have these extra problems:
     -player is dead for almost 2 years. i mean it won’t turn on no matter what i do, even i hit the reset button.
     -i tried recharging it by plugging it to my pc for a couple of minutes, but its no use. 
    -my pc detects it as removable disk, but the player doesn’t light up when inserted. 
    *my pc works on windows XP service pack 2. 
    -when the player is inserted, removable disk icon displays at “my computer”, but when opened, it displays “pls insert disk into drive F:”.
     -it doesnt display the “autoplay” options. 

    i tried your solution but nothing happened. it stays the same. hope you can help me. here’s my email: mykel2688@yahoo:disqus .com.ph. thanks!
