On the Dream's and the Sapphire's native browser, where do the media files save to?
For example, go to myxer.com and save a ringtone (.mp3 extension)... what is the path the file is saved to?

Is it possible to remove Windows Media Player?
Or at least set it to NOT be the default MP?
TCPMP is light years better and I'd rather make it default.
Any tips?
hmm, I guess the lack of response indicates it's not been possible.
I had hoped somebody would have worked it out by now! same reason for me, TCPMP is my player of choice...I have no need for WMP now.
Just set TCPMP as the default in file associations within the settings. When you click on a media file within file explorer, PIE etc, tcpmp starts up.
Though if you do this (and don't quote me on it), I believe that if you want to set an mp3 or m4a as a ringtone, then because WMP is no longer the app associated with those files, the option won't appear when you tap-n-hold on the song.

How do you set it up? In which settings?
I just set TCPMP as the default app and copied the mp3 I want as a ringtone to \windows\rings folder. Then I just set the mp3 in phone options as the ringtone.
I was referring to the option "set as ringtone" in the context-menu, as it not only copied to windows\rings, but then sets as the current ringtone.
As I said, though, don't quote me.

Just tried it now and....... it works. There is no option within Resco File Explorer but there is in MS File Explorer.
All it does is copy the file to the \windows\rings folder and sets it as the ringtone.
@cktlcmd
start TCPMP, -> options -> settings -> select page -> File associations Then select all the media files you want associated.

Hi ALL
here is my question.
i like to use MANILA music player but i have a lot of ringtone files on my storage card and it always search the whole memory so i end up with many music files in my player which i don't want there.is it possible to choose folder for music player to use as the one and only?or any other idea how to stop music player to search on entire storage card?
thx
+1 for this!
A mod can probably merge this post with:

There's a registry entry that declares a folder which is not scanned by Audio Manager. It is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\C onfig:ring_tone_path
By default it would be "\My Documents\My ringtones\" (don't know for sure, I'm on a dutch ROM atm). You can change this to another location if you like, but I it won't take a location on your storagecard, unfortunately. It means you will have to keep ring-tones in the device memory. For me this is no problem because I only carry a few dozen tones with me.
thx for reply.i have done this by using Resco Explorer.all the folders that contains ringtones and files i do not want to show up in music tab i simply set as hiden.that did the trick for me.manila will no longer pick them up.

Thanks for this, this has helped improve matters somewhat, but I still have a folder full of audio books (very large, so needs to be on storage card) that still show up and I would rather they didn't. Any one know of a way of hiding these from Audio Manager?
I have a bunch of audio books I keep in /sdram/abooks and use MortPlayer which can be configured to use any particular directory.
Problem is the music player now lists my audio books. I want the music player to just list my music files (i.e. what I put in /sdram/mp3). I can't seem to find any way to do that?
Is there an alternative app that will do that? (will have to be in the free section of Market as the powers that be prevent us non-americans from searching through paid apps, go figure).

extract the attached file on your pc, then copy the .nomedia file inside the folder to those folders that you don't wish to have them show in either Photo or Music Player...
Hope this helps,

Thanks for the suggestion. Creating an empty .nomedia file in a directory seems to stop the media player from looking into this directory for media files. It isn't the best way to do it though, imagine you have to go through this process every time you install software that creates a directory on the sdram card. I can't understand the developers of the media player didn't at least make it an option to limit the search for media to certain directories.
I added the .nomedia file into the desired directories but the unwanted songs are still visible in the native HTC music player.
Is there a way to refresh the track list somehow?
same here, probably we've to restart the phone.
I solved his by connecting the Desire to PC via mass storage and disconnecting again. The SD card got "refreshed" this way
MortPlayer Music (free on Astroid Marked) lets you define a directory for music files.
I move tv recording and video to my Windows Home Server and when I use the EStrong Explorer on my phone and click on a file it opens the default movie player and says it cannot read the file. But if I copy it locally I can open it with RockPlayer. Also, is there a way to browse the network from RockPlayers file open menu. Right now I can only see the SD Card.
I got the Axon 7 4GB/64GB on B04 rom last weekend china version. All is set up except I cannot work out where sound files for ringtones/alarms/notifications should be stored for the Axon to recognize them and be usable.
I have tried on the phone storage, sdcard storage etc on various paths, media, audio, ringtones etc but nothing ever works.
Does anyone know what folder or path the Axon expects such files to be stored?
Any help would be much appreciated.
There are file explorers that support this. I think ES File explorer had this functionality.
I always use Zedge to configure a ringtone.
Thanks but it doesn't allow me to place my files so that the built in ringtones in setting can locate my own files or to set my own files. Anyone have any idea where the Axon 7 locates the ringtones apart from \system\media\audio etc? I have no root so cannot write to this location.
Have you even tried ES file Explorer? It gives you the option to browse to your own audio files when you want to select a ringtone.
I want to freely assign my own files for ringtones, message, notifications and alarms. Problem is this phone has 2 sim slots and requires me to assign to a specific ringtone 1/2 and message 1/2 etc which es file explorer won't support.
Okay if you say so. I don't have the device yet so I can't tell.
But what I mean is that you only have to install ES File Explorer, you don't have to open it. Just install it.
Then go to your phone settings > ringtones > choose your correct SIM and it will give you the "Complete action using" dialog.
ES File Explorer should be in that list and you should be able to browse to any audio file you want.
No joy after installing ES file explorer. Going to settings, sounds and vibrations, ringtones, it brings me to the default ZTE page for choosing which sim etc then opens the default app for selecting ringtones/notifications etc.
I found out that putting the mp3 file in the folder \Phone\Records then it appears in the "Recordings" tab when choosing the ringtone/alarm.
This took me a long time to figure out. I put the files where they are supposed to go (Notifications folder under /mnt/sdcard/Notifications, Ringtones in /mnt/sdcard/Ringtones). However they don't show up under the main "tone" section when changing tones, you need to swipe over to "music" and it's mixed in with all your MP3s, at least that's how i've been able to set custom sounds. Kind of annoying but it works. Not sure if there's a way to get them to ACTUALLY show up in the tones section.
i noticed for whatsapp, u can only set to the default ringtones that you set on your text message or call ringing tones. You can't custom your own preferred tones. This MiFavor got a lot of flaws.. and ZTE is too slow fixing it. Other than that, great hardwares
\Records on works once

That did work for me first time. I created the folder, added files and it all worked as you suggested. I tried to put in additional files in \Phone\Records and they don't appear. It looks like the system need to do a reread of some sort. Anybody have a clue how to force that reread.
I did a search up on the subject and I think the method that I did is relatively straight forward. What I did is I copy from my dual otg data that contains the ringtones that I want to folder of phone/zte music download folder, from there I Opened this download folder and select whichever ringtones then on the Bottom Right click Set Audio as 2 Choices, Ringtones or Notification.
Hopes it help.
With ES File Explorer Pro, I've placed additional ringtones and notifications in the following locations:
/storage/emulated/0/Ringtones
/storage/emulated/0/Notifications
Note that your phone may categorize the sound files under the header "music" when selecting them.
