KD Player on ATT Branded Karma QA1 - granting Read rights?

[callmebruce]

I have an AT&T Branded Motorola Karma QA1. I added an SDHC card and an able to synch my music library using Banshee under Ubuntu. Works fine, have some 1200 or so MP3s. Used MobileMediaConverter to convert some OGG Videos to 3GP format and copied over 6 old Film Noir vids off the Internet Archive. (there's something oddly fun about watching black and white Film Noir from the 40's on a phone).

However, I can't figure out Playlists, other than manually using the phone keys. That's just goofy with some 1200 MP3's. I tried copying over a playlist in M3U and PLS format, and the phone doesn't see the playlists. I tried making a test playlist then searching for it - and can't find any M3U or PLS files on the phone at all.

I loaded KD Player. It installed fine, but can not see my Music folder and subfolders. It can't see anything! I think I have to grant read rights to Java, but have no idea how to do this, and can not see any files at all on the phone, except for files on my Micro SDHC card.

So - how do I either grant rights to the Java app so I can see my Music folders, or how do I load a signed certificate so I can run KD Player? Anyone have KD Player working on an AT&T branded phone?

Edited: I installed MotoMidMan under Wine in Linux. The app starts, but I can't get it to connect to my phone. Darn.
Edited again: I connect to the phone over /dev/ttyACM0 at 115200, so used gtkterm --port /dev/ttyACM0. Not getting a response . Darn. Hoped to terminal to it and poke around.

Wandered over to the modmymoto Linux forum. Installed the Debian/Ubuntu p2kcommander package. I can't view the files on my phone, but I can restart it - so I know I'm communicating with it to some degree. Also tried moto4lin, but can't connect. While I'd like to be able to install KDPlayer and grant it read rights, I'm thinking I'll just cough up the ponies for a dedicated MP3 player that plays well with Linux and be done with it.
