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.

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?

THANKS ALOT MASTER.
IT WORKS VERY WELL.
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.
Trying to add some new wave sounds for my incoming text messages. Have copied some small wav sounds into the windows directory along with the standard ones and although they show up in the list of available sounds they dont make a sound when clicked on to play. The strange thing is if you click on them in file browser they play in wmp. Anyone else had this ?
nope, sorry - i've added loads and they work fine...
I just try a few different ones then to see if they work. Just thought someone else might have had this prob as well.
i had a deferent kind of problem, i have a wav file which plays well on my pc, but when i add it to my kjam it doesn't play even through the wmp
Sussed it. Although when you moved the pointer over the file it came up in windows as saying wav file, when you checked the properties it was actully an mp3 file.
Downloaded some actual pcm wav files and they played fine.
Looking for some really good " New message " type wav files. Anyone know of any good sites ?
I was referred here to you from the 3G forum as they suggested that you might be able to help
It started when i installed PocketDivx, was not that impressed with it so i removed it under the delete programs icon. Problem now is that all my MP3 files will not play with windows media player, the file icon has changed and it keeps saying unrecognised format however, if i open TCPMP and directly open a MP3 the file icon is correct and it plays ok...I am sure that when i uninstalled PocketDivx not everything went off because the launcher icon is still in the folder. I have now removed all reference of PocketDivx from the registry so the icon has now gone but the problem is still there..I suppose I could use TCPMP to play my files but i did have mp3 files set up as ring tones etc so the problem wants sorting.
I would not like to do a hard reset as i would loose all my settings however, if there is a file missing and it can be identified i have access to another M5000 to transfer it over.
Any ideas on this??

u can try resco explorer n change the app to open with...
Hi all,
After installing pocketmusic, i realised that all the mp3s were automatically played through that application rather than windows media player. I also have pocketMax phonealarm installed on my today screen, and have set mp3 ringtones (which used to work!!!).
Since i've installed that stupid pocketmusic, all i hear now is a "beep" and a "vibrate" every 3 seconds instead of my mp3s. I then realised that pocketmusic is at fault and as a result decided to uninstall it. Now, whenever i play mp3s through file explorer, it opens up in wmplayer but gives me an error for some reason (i think this means mp3s don't have a default assigned program to open up in). However, the mp3s can be played when opened from wmplayer.
I've tried everything...using rescoe explorer, i've set wmplayer as default but it gives me the same error.
Please help
Thanks,
Simon
