Garmin 245 Music files MTP transfer Ubuntu Linux

I have a Garmin Forerunner 245 Music and can transfer music and audiobook files using MTP on Windows 10 fine. With Ubuntu 23.04 Linux I can see the watch, open the file system and see the files OK. However when I copy and paste .mp3 music files across the only thing that gets copied is the music folder; the music files themselves inside the folder fail to transfer. I can read, delete files OK. I guess that something is not right with the MTP transfer protocol, has anyone found a solution? 

  • Just verify that the mp3 has basic id3 information like title, album, artist, year or it will not show up on watch. Format is also basic mp3, not aac.

    Regarding MTP on linux the support wasn't good enough for me to get it working at all.
