I have a voice over ip phone system at work.
We are using an answering phone system where missed calls are recorded and automatically sent as an wav file attachment to the mailbox.
Now we certainly sync all PIM data to the mobile devices. The wav file attachments of course too.
And here's the problem. I can't play the wav files on my pocket pc.
If I try it with my ipaq the small play controls are displayed but nothing happens with pushing the play button. It stops at once again.
If I try to play it with my qtek2020, the album player is opened but it automatically plays the next found playable file not the one I clicked.
If I delete all other playable files the album app opens nothing and displays the file open dialog.
The file is playable without any problems with the pc. Irfanview says its 8-bit, 8,000Hz, Mono, 51.2 seconds.
A friend of mine examined the wav file and said it's in CCITT A-Law format.
How can I play these wav files on my pocketpc?

Hi
I have an xda 2.
Ever since I installed/uninstalled winamp beta it, my phone will not play wav files anymore. I have tried adjusting the wav file assocation in pocket tweak however as windows media player does not play this, what does?
Is there a quick fix to restore this setting?
Has anyone else encountered this before?
Stevo
no i've used both versions of the winampaq and i never noticed any wav issues
will it not play wav at all ?
will it not start windows mediaplayer when you doubleclick on wav files ?
will windows mediaplayer not play wav any more ?
No it will not play wav at all. Btw I don't think windows media player plays wavs at all or am I wrong?
Lets forget what program messed up the settings. I just need to know how to restore the phone or system as the default wav player.
What application is normally responsible?
if it cant play wav files in sounds and notifications in systems
then i think there is more amiss then just a associating issue
because it should not depend on that
if you open up your power tweak (assuming you have it installed) can you tell me what application is associated with "wav" file type.
I have audio files of various formats which I wish to use clips from as ringtones. I notice that the preset ringtones are WMA format, & try making the file I wish to use into a WMA, yet my Xda2 still does not show it on the ringtones list.
What must I do to make an audio file on my desktop PC into a ringtone for my Xda2?
there is a program in the settings section system tab called "add ringtone" you can use that or if all else fails you can put your WMA file directly in the directory "My Pocket PC/Windows/" in your XDA.. then try looking at your ringtone list.. it should be there..
Neither work. ;_; The file is currently in windows, & add ringtone does not show it.
some people report that the xda's cant play all bitrate wma's try to see if you can play them on media player

convert your .mp3 or any other audio file using dpoweramp converter its freeware and then copy that .wma to \mypocketpc\windows\rings and paste it there, and then just open sound and notifications on your pda and select incoming call and choose that .wma that you pasted IT SHOULD WORK FOR SURE !!

or if all else fails, instead of converting your mp3's to wma, why don't you just convert it straight to wav format? that way you won't have any problems.. because one problem with the wma format ringtones is if you use it for the sms alert once it rings it wont stop (since it is long) even if you click on everything.. which sucks big time.. while in wav you can easily cut the song to the part you only want with alot of different wav editors..
Ring Tones.
Hi there,
I have an XDA II and I hv tried this great progrm Ringtone X this is available for download / purchase at www.mtux.com not only u can use wma files but also wav and midi files to set as ring tones. U can also set ring tones by group / individual contact or by phone No. great program. try it.
Success. ^_^ Realised the 'add ringtone' option didn't detect the WMA file, so used a WAV, then found the directory 'Rings' in Windows, & switched it for the WMA again. Found out it doesn't like mp3 files for ringtones, & that any files with foreign characters in their names (eg Japanese, etc) will not transfer.
Thank you all for the help.
Help is my middle name... heehee
The easiest way to get them working is to drop a wma into the rings folder, they should appear in the drop down from phone options after doing so (you will have to exit the options page if you had it open whilst transferring the file).
Any good sound editing program (nero wav editor, audacity, av music morpher) should allow you to load your file up, chop and change it and then save out as a wma. Try lowering the quality slightly to bring the file size down even further(wma should be a lot smaller than wav).
As for other sound notifications on the Xda, just drop a wav file into the Windows folder to add it to the appropriate drop down.
well i agree WMA is slightly lighter than WAV.. but if you're not too familiar with audio editing better use WAV and edit it with Audioblock as it has an easy interface or if you are an advanced user and wants to cut WMA better use Adobe Audition or the newer versions..
How do I install ring tones on the Apache.
drop them in the windows/rings folder.

One thing is that if you have installed an mp3 player other than the default Windows Media, then you will not be able to use mp3s for your ringtones. You can always just re-sample the wav files.
I have installed TCPMP and can use mp3s as ringtones.....so I dunno what ur talkin bout.
Associate or Disassociate...that is the question..

I think the problem is that if you install 3rd party appl MP3 player and allow it to be associated with MP3's specifically, then Windows & phone rings will no longer automatically be associated with MP3's. This happened to me using PocketMusic, where on installation it offered to be associated with all these different formats. I thought 'Yeah Great' why not? Afterwards none of my MP3 Ringtones worked until I found this out.
So try disasociating all MP3's from your media player if you want Windows to recognise it for Ringtones. The downside is that in order to play your MP3's through your chosen MP3 player, you will have to 'File/open' (or something similiar) from within the player itself. Not a major problem, unless you like to select your MP3s through File Explorer, in which case you would have to associate your chosen file-type (MP3) from within the options menu of your 3rd party player.
Same goes for TCPMP and WMP10. If you associate .wmv or .wma in TCPMP and then usually select single tunes/vids through file explorer, then WMP10 will no longer be the default player as you associated that file type to another program!
Sorry bout the long post but It frustrated me to no end when I first got my WM device. Hope it helps.
I have added bunch of MP3's to my storage card at the root level. 2 things are happening that are real weird.
1. They show up in the ringtone list but will not play.
2. When you go directly to file and try to launch and error pops up that reads. "the file can not be opened. either it is not signd with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore the file." The wierd thing is if I pull it into WM player it works just fine. I only get this error when I try to open the file directly which I blieve if this is corrected my ring tones will work again.
Thanks for you help

You tried putting these in the 'ring tones' folder to see if you have the same problem?
yep same problem there. I hate to do a hard reset, but i'm running out of ideas.
Sorry if it's a silly question but are you sure they're mp3 format, not aac or wma or something else?
i double checked and they are mp3.
Have you installed a 3rd party application that is registered as the default player for MP3? if yes - you need to make WMP the default player back.
how do I make it the default again?
I to am having the same problem....... My mp3 ringtones were working fine until I downloaded Pocket Music and all my mp3's were converted to pocket music. I tried to convert them back to WMP by using RESCO file explorer. I would "play with" and choose WMP and get an error saying "The System cannot find the path specified." Of course im no the most technical person, so if anyone can explain that and tell me what I need to do to fix the problem I would realy appreciate it.
Thanks
Ring Tone
I'm having a similar problem (Wizard). The ONLY ring tone that will play is the Windows Default. It won't play MP3, WAV or WMA, whether it's in the Windows root, the storage card root, the Ring Tones directory or the Rings directory.
At least the Windows Default will play otherwise I wouldn't have ANY ring tone.
Update: In another thread someone said change the associations in Pocket Player. Well, I don't have Pocket Player but I DO have BetaPlayer. I dropped the mp3 association and the WAV and WMA associations and the ringtones are working again!
I have the same problems with mp3 files as ringtone. I even delete the GSPlayer from the PPC...and still the same error. I try moving it directly to the ringtone folder...still no luck...
Can anyone help?

Do the Mp3 have to be in a particular codec or bit rate to work? Some of mine work. Some don't and I've noticed the ones that I've made myself are the ones that don't work...oh and some trekker ringtones I downloaded
Same here.
I removed all of the file associations with BetaPlayer and I am still having problems. I have a program called PocketTweak that lets me actually assign associations, but I cannot see all of my program files.
Let me know if anybody finds a resolution to this ... or if you know how to see all of the files so I can start associating WMPlayer to them. I have a feeling if I can figure that out, the ringers will start working again. But I could be wrong ...
Kangle
I found a fix for me.
I also have GSFinder. I used that to look at my file extensions and noticed that the file extension mp3 was gone, even though it appeared in my PocketTweak program. I added the extension mp3 and chose Windows Media file as the program to open it.
Then I went back into phone settings and presto. MP3 ringtones are now playing again.
Hope this helps some of you. I think installing PocketTweak somehow messed it up b/c it was working fine before then, even after installing BetaPlayer.
However, I did change some associations with BetaPlayer last night b/c I had a problem saving internet radio stations links to my PDA b/c BetaPlayer would automatically launch/open the stream as opposed to giving me the option to save. I wanted to save them b/c I use GSPlayer to listen to audio. So there is also a possibilty that I changed something last night that caused it not to work today. Oh well ... again, I hope this helps some of you.
how can i play lossless music (wav) ? use hd2 wp7
This is not easiest way but I did get this to work in playing wma lossless music on my HD2 Winmo 7.5.
First create WMA lossless files with spec of 16bit 44.1K.
This is where you will go off-road..
Find a link on web on how to turn the winmo phone into a usb drive.
i found a link on wpcentral.
Goto the usb drive'd Winmo 7.5 phone and look for folder named Music.
Inside create the folder you wish and copy those wma lossless files you want.
These files will show up in the phone as "Various Artists", so they won't catalog properly.
So, go back to the usb drive'd winmo phone. Go back to the Music folder where you copied those wma files. Right Mouse click on one of those wma files. A choice to create Playlist should be there. Create one.
Rename the playlist as you please. Then right click on the file and goto properties. Then goto "references" tab. Select all the wma file names and "drag" them into the "references" tab. You may have to rearrange the order of the songs, but there are buttons allowing you to do this.
After everything looks right save this file.
Then, look for folder called PLAYLIST. MOVE the .pla (playlist) file you created into this folder.
unplug the winmo phone and you should be able to play this "playlist" full of wma lossless files.
there maybe easier way to do this... but I have not found a method on the web..
The way i do it is, first of all, convert the wavs to wma lossless with a converter. I use dbpoweramp.
If you have wav\ape\flac\cue files, get a virtual drive emulator like daemon tools and load the cue file in that, then get dbpoweramp or zune software to convert.
I then sync the music with the zune software to the phone. Done.
There is a minor bug. This happens on a few builds of wp7 ive tried.
music skips when trying to play from phone speaker.
If you use headphones or an external speaker the music does not skip.
personally, the audio quality of the phone is not as good as a real zune hd. I would convert to mp3 instead.
check the size of those files you transferred using zune.. i have tried your method.. however, even when the files are only "sync'd" not convertered, they were fraction of the original files..
the sync problem seems random to me. try to transfer one album at a time and check that theyre synced before continuing
