help: mp3+wma ringtones no longer work - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

mp3+wma ringtones no longer work on my device. i can go to settings->Sound&notifications ->notifications andf select an mp3 ringtone but it will not play. if i click play in the preview there it will no play either. When i select someting which is wav it will play fine.
mp3 tones were working fine before. All i did last night was to install D9 and uninstall it, also i installed .mobile contacts and uninstalled it as well. I donno if anyone of there programms messed my registry and made mp3 ringtones not working.
Please advice what to do if you have any clues. I dont wana hard reset since it took me 2 days to setup my device how i want it.
Thanks in advance for any help
Edit: wma rintones wont work either

I tried to assosiate prog. by Resco file explorer but when pressing on the file WM10 told me it's not supported file, While I can oplay the same file if I open in from WM10 menu itself...

i have this problem too. im using iMUSIC as mp3 player and can't assign mp3 files as ringtone. i cant find a fix either so i end up not using mp3 files as ringtone but use .wav & .wmv files instead.

@rmg
not tried this app but it looks like what I have been searching for ever since I got my Jam
If it works then you deserve massive kudos for this post
I'll see to that. If it fixes my messed up file associations, I owe you a beer. :lol:
i have the same problem using pocketmusic, lets hope this software sorts the problem, have not downloaded it yet but if it works please let us know
It works just great! THX! Now I got my old ringtones back plus can play mp3's as ringtones! Great stuff on the top of all it consumpts very little amount of memory. there is only one snag: works only if installed in the main memory not the storage card.
Glad it did the trick :lol:
Could you plz advise on that matter too?

mp3 ringtones not working anymore

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 ?

Magician lost ring tones .wav .mp3

Hello all
I seem to have lost the ability to use any kind of sound file (.wav .mp3) except .wma as ring tones or notifications on my Magiciam
They will however play in the media player
It’s as if I have lost the file extension association
Any ideas would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

hi did u remove any program lately? a media player sort maybe? coz' if u had n u did not de-associate the wav or mp3 file type that u have associated on the program that u removed this might cause your current situation or maybe its the other way round, u might have installed some media program n u have associated the wav of mp3 file type n requested it allow the player to be the default player for those file types
Hello
Thanks for your help
I have not removed any programs but did a hard reset about a month ago but did not run the extended rom ( just picked the cabs that I wanted ,smart dialer ect from the rom) I did it like this last time I hard reset and did have all sound files , so now I am thinking that perhaps there is a cab or rom file that will do the sound function ???
Thanks again
john
actually i myself did the same thing meaning picked smart dialer and some other cabs from the extended rom and not all of them and had no problem with the sound one time i just left it blank and used it that way for almost a week without installing any of the files from the extended rom without having any sound problems so i can be pretty sure it has nothing to do with that
just try doing a hard reset again and see if that works or maybe try installing a media player it might work
Found the answer looks like I had switched it off but not obvious
Its in start \settings\sounds&notification
enable sounds for needs a tick in programs

Ring tone/MP3 problem

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.

Ringtone not working

!!!! EDIT - IGNORE POST - Must have got corrupted, copied same file again to same place and it worked. Odd sorry
Hi All,
Had a ringtone on my phone since i had it. its an mp3.
At the weekend i did a hard reset and have copied the file back again but now i cant set it as ringtone, its in the list but when i select and press ok it just goes back to windows default and not back to the settings menu, if you press ok on windows default it works.
Any ideas on this, i did do a search but they were mainly peeps putting mp3 in for first time. i know this mp3 works as ive used it before.
Any Ideas, mp3 is deffo associated with WMP but i do have tcpmp and mortplayer installed. Could these be causing problems?
Any help would be great, thanks.
