Mint 17.3 unable to write to FIIO x1 player


I have installed mint 17.3 KDE, after 17.3 Cinamon corrupted when i tried to install Nividia drivers. It is a lovely system, and runs my laptop almost silently, but it will not write music files to my FIIO X1 MP3 player. I have install MTP tools but I still get the massage cannot write etc. I have not had this problem with mint Cinanamon or Ubuntu. I presume there is an easy answer to this problem.
I have looked on the player but there is not way of changing from MTP to something else.

All suggestions most welcome

I just tried with my X1 and it doesn't use MTP -- it just appears as a USB mass storage device like a USB stick would.
Is the device itself working OK, is the SD card seated properly?
Edit: I put the micro SD card into a reader to transfer music so I hadn't used the USB cable to do anything up until now.

You're welcome. It seems odd that Nautilus is having issues -- could it be that the device is being mounted somewhere else and you're looking at the old mount point in Nautilus or something like that?

Do you see the existing files in Dolphin? As I mentioned, perhaps it's looking in the wrong place?
