A friend of mine found this patch, and i tried it and it works
i then tried it on the New Imate 1.12 rom and it did not work...
but it works fine on my T-mobile 1.01 rom.......
Just wondered if anyone else found this patch

What patch :?:
:?: The Magician plays mp3-ringtones by design. No patch required.
That's true, but no alarm tones. You can only use wavs for that. There are many applications which provide this feature, like WolfClock. I don't know if there's a patch available for this.
could you share a link plz

Yeah mine did until i installed betaplayer, after that it doesnt show mp3's when you try to change your ringtone. Uninstalling betaplayer resulted in no application being able to play mp3's. This suggests to me a file association problem but I have no idea how to solve it. Unlike 'regular' Windoze where you can assign associations fairly easily, mobile edition doesnt seem to be able to do this. Unless someone can come up with a better idea it looks like Im in for a long trawl through the registry
I did this with Winampaq on my XDA2. There is no way to re-associate the files with media player short of a hard reset. Microsoft really dodn't do much testing on this OS at all.
I found this but havent tried it.
been using it for ages, lets you set MP3 rintones from tap and hold menu, copies them...the whole file, to your windows\rings directory and sets as default ringtone.

You should take a look at Resco File Explorer which can do exactly this.

Thanks for the tip, I will have a look at that app.
My main gripe tho is that I prefer GSplayer or Betaplayer to Media Player but when I install either one I lose the ability to use MP3's for ringtones, it seems that the phone will only allow MP3 ringtones using the WM engine (or I have missed something)
after installing any 3rd party mp3 program you need to reassociate mp3 files with windows media player to get mp3 ring tones to work correctly.

Thanks people...The app works just fine...THIS is what I had been searching...

i have found a fix for poly/midi ringtones for the wm2003 rom::
run the cab file from you device, and put the enclosed *.midi file in your ringtones dir, and one working midi/polly ringtone
ps the program i got from some site, so do not know anything about it as it was not in english(readme fil included in the installed cab dir). maybe some one can figure out how it fixes the problem so it does not need to be installed etc??
maybe it will work with a pcc2002 rom, i have not tried it
please let me know how you get on
The zip file appears to be corrupt
try it again, it should now work
The mimidi program is actually a MIDI player for the Pocket PC. It even works on PPC2002. The reason the included MIDI file works is because it has a different format type than regular MIDI files. This file will actually even play on WM2003 without mimidi installed. Try it.
I can say for sure that WM2003 supports MIDI ringtones, but the type of MIDI files are different. The supported MIDI files are very small compared to regular MIDI files. I am trying to do some more research into this.
Will let you guys know if anything turns up.
lol, I never even tried it before I installed that little program, as ppl in other posts said it was not working(midi) in the 4001 rom.
the midi file I included was a nokia 7650 polly. ring tone I just downloaded from the net
yeah your right If i remove the program, the file still works
correct me if I'm wrong, but the midi file sounds pretty bad when played from the phone app (the correct midi instruments do not load, ie piano & drums); the mimidi app sounds like it should (with 6-voice polyphony, anyway)
OK it was here earlier today, correct me if I'm wrong but where did the link go :shock:
Should be in the first post not present anymore.
E.
by the way, a newer version (v.1.0) of mimidi, can be found here:
http://www.pdasky.com/soft/5009.htm
cool little player btw.
now, how do your ringtones sound with the player, and from the phone app :?:
sorry had to remove my download
but yeah theres a newer version of the app out
Where is the Link :?:
Thanks,,,
Thanks,

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:

Not working for me. Installed, no error messages, but I still can't use mp3's as ringtone. Actually in file manager mp3's are not associated with any programs. Could someone give any help?
you dont need anything to set a .mp3 as a ringtone, just place the mp3 file in the rings folder under windows and go to the tone selection screen and it will be there.
PLACE MP3 FILE IN FOLLOWING FOLDER
\\My Device\Windows\Rings
then do this
Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications(on bottom)
Then Event:.. scroll down to Phone: Incoming Call then tap the drop down box by ring tone and it will be there.
There should deffinately be a FAQ sticky for this kinda stuff

So it can't be done without placing the mp3 in the ringtones directory? In deed it's not working for me that way either. I can see the mp3 on the list, but after choosing and pressing an OK, it sets itself back to windows default. Actually I can't use anything else than windows default. I'm really getting mad, plz help! Where is the file associations menu? Maybe there's some problem there. This thing is messed up since I've installed and uninstalled winamp...
Work great on wm2005 1.60b
Man i dont know is if its the program or the windows itself..but under the settings of notifications all my mp3 is listed ..which i never knew!...this is GREAT!

It would appear that by default mp3 ringtones are allowed, however once you install a third party app to play mp3's (you mention winamp) you lose the ability to use them(it seems that the Media player engine is used for this).Uninstalling the app makes no difference, you then have no mp3 player because the mobile version of windows does not restore the file association. The best way round this that I have found is to simply use an audio app (Nero wave editor in my case) to convert/edit the mp3s to wma. This has the bonus that most mp3 tracks are too long for a ringtone (how many phones ring for 3-4 minutes without kicking in the answering service ?) so when you convert you can also reduce the length.
I cant comment on the set ringtone cab posted here, never tried it, it may work
HTH
I am able to install the cab file without any error message but still can't use mp3's as ringtone. The mp3 file appears in the Sound and Notification drop down list, but whenever I select the mp3 file and try to play, it doesn't play and return back to Windows Default ringtone. Can anyone tell me that what is the problem?

The same problem I have. Also I don't think so that the easiest way to solve it is to convert each of my mp3's to wma or whatever. Somehow there should be a way to restore the file associations. Maybe if someone would have a media player to install (re-install) that could solve it. The problem is that I've also lost my former ringtones.
Have a look at this thread here. Ive just downloaded the files but not tried em yet. Seems to be able to restore file associations so that WMP becomes your default player. This should then allow you to use mp3's as ringtones

GO TO START/SETTING/PERSONAL/PHONE (AND SELECT YOUR MP3 FROM THERE).
CHEERS,
YAARUB
So the file associations are normal again, thx to your help. But how can I set an mp3 as ringtone which is stored on the sd card other than copying it to the ringtones folder as it takes far too much space from the main memory? The settings-ringtones does not find the mp3 files either on the sd or in the system memory, only wavs and mids.
@Szilu
I'm afraid there is no other choise but to copy the mp3 ringtone to the main memory.
Im sorry
That's a pity. Anyway can you suggest any programs then to cut mp3's to smaller pieces? As 4 minutes is far too much thus the size can be shrinked. THX for your kind help.
Try "Sound Forge", But im not sure if it support mp3 files or .waqv only, their you can cut the file to small pieces.
good luck.
Hi I recently installed Pocket DIVX player. Didn't like it so uninstalled it. Now Windows media Player 10 wont play my videos I recorded using XDA video recorder or mp3's unless I go through the Media Player library. When I try and play through file explorer I get the message "xxxx....cannot be opened Either it has not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file" This means I cannot have mp3 ringtones or play videos/music using file explore. Can anybody help?
anyone out there who can help?
hard reset, one of the problems of installing dodgy software...
try reinstalling the original application, then have all the default settings and file extension associations reassigned back to WMP10, then uninstall.
can try using tcpmp if that may provide an alternative.
never be afraid to hard reset, it only takes a while the first few times, and you get into a routine for it....
Maybe it's just a problem with file association? Not sure. Probably search the registry to see what program opens the MP3 and change it back to WM10
I'm probably wrong, but give it a shot
At the moment there is no programme associated with opening mp3's or the avi videos. Excuse my naivety but how do I do a hard reset? And what did you mean be re-install original application? Do you mean the Pocket Divx programme again? Thanks for your help by the way!

How do I search the registry?
To hard reset, select CLEAR STORAGE in the programs folder and then enter 1234. This will erase EVERYTHING saved on the phone and will return it to how it was when you first bught it, i think.
Regarding registry, use a registry editor. I use the one of Resco which comes with Resco File Explorer. There is a free one called TRE just look for it thru google.
Don't re-intall the Divx player, maybe re-install alll the other programs you installed in the first place when you bought it
Ok cheers I think the reset will be a last resort. All the programmes like WMP10 were pre installed on the phone so I dont have the disc and you can't seem to download WMP10 4pocket pc on the net. I think it's a case of trying to associate mp3's avi's etc with WMP10 as it seems to play wmv files no problem but I've tried everything to no avail What I can't understand is why mp3's and avi's can play on WMP10 by using the library and not through file explorer :? Once again thanks for your suggestions
the library and application itself understands that it can run the mp3 etc
however windows not wmp10 has associated the file extension ".mp3" to another application which no longer exists.
I have attached my file association for mp3 and avi from my registry. import it if you understand and acknowledge the risks with registry editing and I accept no responsibility AT ALL.
Hi mate. Thanks for your help. You were correct, in the registry mp3 and avi are were assigned to Pocket Divx I imported your 2registry edits using the registry editor TRE and avi and mp3 appear to be assigned to WMP but still no luck in playing them through file explorer. Any ideas on what to do next.
After a bit of browsing I've installed The Core Pocket Media Player (TCPMP) which seems to play everything no problem and has an option to associate files rather than force it upon you like Divx did. Thanks for all your help but i've given up on WMP10 if you come up with an answer to my problem please feel free to let me know
under hkey local machine there are settings for wmplayer default extensions, perhaps this has also been changed. I have these attached for you to compare.
I also found more under multimedia extensions for microsoft which could also have been changed. the only other location where references mp3 came up related to arcsoft multimedia, so after this you should also test this area to ensure that mms hasn't been changed.
see how you go, but you may never be able to fully undo the effects of dodgy software and incorrect installations.
let me know if you need further keys. note, I also use tcpmp for my videos due to full screen and have allowed this to superscede some of my own wmp10 settings.
cheers
I think we were writing simultaneously so thought I would write again to see if you are interested in trying the above.
if you associated them to tcpmp, you may need to run the previous edits again to reassociate.
your call leave it with you
I will give it a try but tcpmp seems pretty good so far so I may leave it but thanks for your help mate!
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.
