poly& midi ringtone fix for ppc 2003

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:

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but yeah theres a newer version of the app out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,
Working well with some MIDI

New system sounds

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 ?

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.

Audio Library

I'm using the TF3D Audio tab to play music. Works pretty well, but a load of my albums have track ordering screwed: track 1 and track 5/6/7 are reversed. Tried deleting the library and resetting, retagging my songs - no help. Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas how to fix song order?

No-one else has this problem?

Hi Rick,
I also have this problem. It's always track 1 that is swapped with track 5, 6 or 7 as you describe.
I've checked all throught the tags on the WMA files for the albums i've installed and they are perfect. Looking at the other details there seems no reason why the tracks have swapped around in the order.
Anybody got any ideas, cus I'm at a loss to see why?
I don't really want to get into having to create a playlist for every album just so the tracks are in the right order!
Any help much appreciated
cheers, Jimmy

Thanks Jimmy, can't find any solution though, and doesn't seem like many have this issue. Back to Pocket Player I guess!

how are you putting the songs onto your hd? active sync or fiel transfer?
when i used active synce i found a lot of the artists and song titles missing in touch flo. when i file transfered stuff manually into the music folder everything came up as it should

Had this too with 2 of my albums, then it hit me: they were the only two albums with wma files, so I converted to mp3 and now it's all ok.

I have this problem with tracks from iTunes (m4a). For me it's usually track one and seven that are swapped around, but sometimes things are even more muddled. I can't actually work out how the order is derived. It's not by file size, file name or date created. Really weird.
As mentioned above, if you load MP3 files then files are listed in track order. This has been driving me bonkers. I wonder if newer versions of the TouchFlo Audio manager still have this problem. Anyone able to confirm? (I'm making the assumption that it is the HTC audiomanager that is playing the music files behind the scenes, but I don't even know if this is the case. Must put Task Manager on my phone and see what's running!) .

Me too...
Same issue here... any bright spark out there capable of working out a fix (prefer not to use MP3 due to file size issues...)
