Weird, my XDA 2 lost ability to play WMA's as ring tone. Use to fork just fine, I've had Fantasy.wma assign to it. Now I can onlu choose Default.
Any ideas? :roll: :?:
Hey Man! I also have the same Prob.. I can only play the Windows Default ring... it just happened by itself! any Help would be great....
Found it!
It was file association problem. It happened right after I've installed Conduits Pocket Player which plays various formats of audio files, including WMA. But for norma ringer funcionalty WMA format SHOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH MEDIA PLAYER!. I've changed it back to Media player and now ringer works again. I used Resco Expolere to change this association back.
:idea: :idea: :idea:
I am glad someone could figure out the problem, but can anybody tell me where on the internet I can find wma ring tones for my phone.
Appreciate your help

I have notice that my standard wma ring tones don't seem to work anymore apart from sounds with a wav extension. I all i have installed lately is microsft voice command 1.5 pocketmusic, mortplayer and also did a full restore from xbackup. when playing mp3 and wav files they all play ok through the media player. but trying to use them as ring tones in the when played in the ring directory , you click on them and nothing happends, when you click on an wav file, that plays ok.
Has anybody else experienced this problem. :?:
I had a similar problem, it was when I changed the wma file association to PocketMusic. Ended up having to do a hard-reset to fix the registry as I hadn't made a backup.
Hi ppc users and enthusiasts, i have a question that nobody has posted i thing, i have bem looking around xda and i didn't managed to get an answer.

Try some software that overtake the system default alarm handling and see if it works for you
Wav,Mp3 Wma in Alarms
Thanks, but actually i already instaled spb time which is the best for the simple task of alarming me to wake up. I really want to know why this stupid phone doesn't support mp3 and other formats in alarms, the audio codecs are the same to the whole system but why dont they work Rrrrrrr!
Does anyone wakes up with the alarm sound that it makes? or... as my self, wakes up with the vibration of the phone... i really don't get it...
Blame microsoft... just another thing i forgot to mention is that the screen should blink but it doesnt. why? i already hard reseted the phone, changed soft. version 1.11; 1.12.05; 1.12.10 WWW-PTB, nothing it just simply doesnt react. what i really wanted was a reg change to make it work, if the device uses a .dll to control the audio codecs it may be changed by reg and so we people dont have to give away another 10-20 bucks for a thing that should work from the begining. Help?
I'm probably plain stupid cause the alarm files are all wav & I can't think of any reason why the magician wouldn't accept them as an alarm tone. & surprise surprise it does actually work on my magician with 1.13 WWE rom. Tested with an own recording. MP3 didn't work with alarm, but does work on reminders, message reception etc. WMA not tested.
Cheers, M
Put that limitation down as something that would have improved with HTC Prophet
how do use mp3 as tones for messages? i tried moving mp3 to windows directory but i can find it in tones...
Hi nm8,
Does WindowsMediaPlayer play these mp3's? If not you have to get them in a format WMP can recognize, otherwise it won't work.

I installed the NoteM program but since it crashed I uninstalled. The problem is that not all my mp3 ringtones are not working anymore.
In any file explorer the mp3s have no icon and when I tried to launch one I had to choose the program (wmp10). Now mp3 are opened with wmp10, I can listen to them, but the they have still the default unknown extension icon , not the wmp10 icon (in any file explorer). Also they are not working as ringtones either
Can anyone help, plz? I don't want to hard reset the device for now
NoteM did that to everybody. Only solution found so far is a hard reset. I tried using a program called pocket tweak to manually associate it with wmp. No luck though. I can associate mp3s with other programs and still have them function as ringtones, so i'm not sure that that is even the problem. It probably changes something in the registry that nobody has figured out yet.
I had the same problem when i install the pocket music player. Anybody has the the same problem with me?

Aparently pocketmusic associates the mp3 extensions to him.
Try to uncheck the mp3 extension in its preferences, it might work then.
yes, but then what's the point of having pocket music installed if the default player for mp3 is still the windows media player.
I don't think its a problem with the associations. I have my mp3s going to mort player with no ringtone problems.

well, it's just necessary for pocket music to be unassociated to work
it's either that or you'll have to find another means for the ringtones
i don't see why you can't just open the mp3s inside pocket music
I can confirm it's an association issue.
I installed pocket player and it took the association from Windows Media Player for mp3's. For 2 days I could not figure out why mp3 ringtones stopped working. Then I changed the association setting for mp3 back and everything works fine.
Unless you use your pocket pc in some strange way i can't see why any music app needs to take over the association. To play mp3's I click on the pocket player icon on my today screen and then choose a playlist or album folder to listen to. I don't click on a single mp3 file.
Anyway try that it should fix your problem and not have any after effects.
Checking again, I agree. mine are still associated with wmp. I was just accessing them with mortplayer.
No Sound after installing Pocket Music
Hello,
I had the same problem when installing Pocket Music (no more MP3 ring tones) so I uninstalled it and linked the MP3 to WMP again but the problem is still here.
My problem is even much more important, my speaker are not working so no sound (playing MP3, phone call ...). My only way to have sound is to use my hand free hearings but the Qtel9100 is not making any more sound and on the phone calls, I can't speak and can't listen if not using hearings ???
PLEASE HELP ...
I tryed to restore my PDA but the problem of micro not working is still here. I can't even talk to someone calling me. I think about doing a hard reset but i don't know how to do it ?
Help me please, recently I just have a problem with my Dopod D810. I only can assign a low quality MIDI (simple low level polyphonic) only as ringtone and the sound quality is pretty bad. When I tried assigning a complex MIDI file as the ringtone, it just won't play when I tested it in Sounds & Notifications settings, and when there's an incoming call it will be changed to Windows Default.wav automatically.
I remember some time ago, all of my MIDI files still can be played nicely as ringtones. Now, all of my MIDI files can only be played nicely with external player like CorePlayer and only some of them can be used as ringtones (with poor sound quality).
Can anyone help me solve this problem? Any registry fix maybe?
Thanks!
I'm also having the same problem as this
"I remember some time ago, all of my MIDI files still can be played nicely as ringtones. Now, all of my MIDI files can only be played nicely with external player like CorePlayer and only some of them can be used as ringtones (with poor sound quality)"
any workarounds ?
I tried installing some cab found somewhere around here but also didnt work.
Working back again after installing this cab..

I have a Dopod D810 (WM5, ROM 1.23.707.6) and I have a strange and annoying problem...
When I set an MP3 or WMA file as a ringtone, it works on the first 1-2 occasions that someone calls then next time I receive a call, it will ring as the Windows default ring. Usually it will ring silently for about 2-3 rings then the Windows default tone kicks in. I go back and check and the MP3/WMA sound file is definitely still there and can definitely be played....
I store my ringtones under \Windows\Rings but have also tried with storing the files under \My Documents\My Tones and even \Application Data\Sounds...
Any ideas?
Or perhaps recommendations for a ringtone manager that can take over from WM's unstable handling of my ringtones...?
Thanks in advance!
This problem usually happens when Media Player is not the default player for MP3 or WMA files. Have you installed a music player recently? If so u need to make sure that Media Player is still the default player for MP3 and WMA, otherwise ringtones won't work properly.
yes, you're right, i installed pocket music and it is now the default player for mp3 files. i'll re-associate windows media player and give it another go...
hrmmm no luck, changed default mp3 player back to windows media player but it still plays the crappy windows default ring. i have no idea...maybe i just have to install WM6 and take my chances!?
are there any ringtone managers that u know if that i can try, perhaps that will stop windows misbehaving!

you can try ringo http://ringomo.com/
I store the MP3s to be used as ringtone in the root of the mini SD and I have no problem.
thanks all - am using Ringo and all is well for now!
The same happened to me
The same problem happened to me i know it's due to the new player i installed but i can't get it back to the default option ...any ideas?
I found the solution to this problem
I managed to solve this problem setup the PHM Registry Editor program
download it from this website
http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}
after installation ...open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (Keys)
Then open the .mp3 then click on values
-open the default string file
-change the value data to mp3file (i found it was avifile so it's obvious that WM can't open it as it's mp3 not avi)
i hope this is useful for u
Thanks thundermind - I'm no longer having this problem after upgrading to WM6 however I have saved your solution for future reference
