Hi,
Could someone please tell me how can I reinstall Window Media Player for my Tornado and where can I download it ?
The reason I need to do this is that my WMPlayer does not work & MP3 can not be used as ring tone.
If I select any MP3 or WMA file in the setting / Sound, it will say the file is corrupted or not supported. My Phone will only play *.mid file as ring tone.
I installed TCPMP afterwards, and my MP3 files are working fine under TCPMP.
Thank you
AP
You can't reinstall a program being in ROM. You need to do an hard reset...
You need to do a registry hack in order to associate your MP3 files with WMP instead of TCMP.
I'll check later which key you need to modify.
Don't think so.
Dont' uninstall WMplayer. I'm sure that you installed PocketMusic on your device, this has made you could'n set ringtone. If you want to set ringtone, you must paste *.wma (windows media audio 9.0 file) in applicationdatas/sound. Good lucks

Hey everyone
I need some help with my XDA.
I can no longer play wma files as ringtones. I could a few days ago.
Im a registered user of PocketZenPhone and I used to have different wma ringtones on different profiles.
Now none can be played.
If I use Pocket Music I can play .wma files but if I go to "Settings --> Sounds & Notifications --> Notifications" and select any wma file, even the build in ones and press play I hear nothing. The strange thing is that I can't even leave the "Notifications" menu.
Each time I press Ok it returns me to "Incoming Ringtone" I have to force to go to Today screen to leave this menu. If I select wav file for ringtone its played OK.
I checked out the forums and the net and found some references to Windows Media Player file associations.
I removed all audio progs and even removed any registry key concerning wma files. I created new association with Media Player but still no ringtones.
If I tap a wma file from file manager the first time it starts WM Player and the file is being played OK but if I select a second or third etc the media Player does nothing or most of the times it gives me the following error:
X in red circle
"Windows Media Player cannot play this file
because the required codec is not installed.
Try using Media Player 9 series or later to
copy the file from your computer to your
device again"
What the hell is that? Media Player version is 9 built 14053.
All my ringtones were and are in the \Windows\Rings directory
Registry looks OK
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wma only has a (Default) String value of WMAFile
and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMAfile has association with mwplayer.
Any suggestions.
P.S. Sorry for the big post. just tryed to give as much info as possible.
Wma ??
Does anyone has or had similar problem that can help?
i got that problem..
i got that problem too.. mine i uninstalled pocket music.. then it went fine.. i guess all your wma files was running in pocket music.. that it won't play with windows media.. that i didn't get.. coz if a file is associated it still should and can play.. try it if it works...
You are right wma files were played by Pocket Music but not only did I remove the association and unistalled it but also restored association to Windows Media Player. Still no joy though.
Same problem here!
Well, sort of... The thing is that SOME .wma or midi files don't work as ringtones anymore but some others do.
I also use PocketZenPhone.
Weird...
Media Player error reproducing wma files.
Can anybody more experienced with XDAs help us here. The Media Player error when playing wma files from a file manager can be replicated by anyone here?
The firt one plays but the subsequent ones produce the foll. error:
X in red circle, and,
"Windows Media Player cannot play this file
because the required codec is not installed.
Try using Media Player 9 series or later to
copy the file from your computer to your
device again".
Is sometheing wrong with Media Player installation?
file association
The key is making sure that the .wma is associated with windows media player. you have to go into the application and un/select .wma to default to windows media player. you can also do this with a tweak program, but its best to do it within the actual applications. otherwise, you will hear either nothing or a warning beep in place of the selected file. This will also hold true for any ringtone program you may have.
I just got this problem too. Tried to open a file through explorer and nothing is set as the defult player for wma files. Any ideas how to set them back to windows media player? Is there a simple reg key that can be changed?
Edit: I installed pocket tweak, but when I go to choose a program it starts in my documents with no way to go back up a level to get to the windows folder (where mplaer.exe is).
Edit 2: I did a soft reset and ringtones worked again. How strange.
Media Player error message on wma lpayback
Well "davidleecpowell" if you read my firts post you will see that not only have I removed association from oher audio player but also completely removed the software except media player. Also re assigned association with Media Player but still no ringtones.
If I tap a wma file from file manager the first time it starts WM Player and the file is being played OK but if I select a second or third etc the media Player gives me the following error:
X in red circle
"Windows Media Player cannot play this file
because the required codec is not installed.
Try using Media Player 9 series or later to
copy the file from your computer to your
device again"
Its very strange indeed and the last thing want to do is YET ANOTHER HARD RESET.
Suggestions anyone?
all
is there a way to;
A) change the actual volume of the alert (I know about turning vol up/down) but what I want here is a louder alert when I recieve a message.
B) can I download new wav files to add to the default ones with myxda2i?
B1) if the above is answered yes, can you advise how I install them please?
Thanks
Pete
I would like to add to this.
I have downloaded .wav files and copied them into the windows directory, but when I go to listen to them in the sounds and notifications section they don't play, this has happened to all .wav files apart from one so far.
Look for the Nokia sms sound file uploaded somewhere in this forum. it works on my imate pocket pc and is loud.

I've also noticed that many wav files are some how encoded in mp3. So they have a file ext of .wav but ppc will only play pure wav files. If you switch the file ext on the wav's that do not play to .mp3 they will sudenly play in windows media player. this will tel you that it is not pure wav encoding.
if you choose properies of the wav file on the pc
it should ms ad pcm as format then it's a pure bred
puls modulated media
who mp3 song icon is not windows media player icon ,like picture below.
If your mp3 song icon is not windows media player icon,u cannot set mp3 as ringtones or just set windowsdefault.wav as ringtones only...........................
u should try to install mp3 reg file,
copy and paste into your device, click on reg file.
and then soft reset.
just try it ....
just paste the mp3 tone to windows/rings and after that just select your favorites mp3 ringtones at your phone option. good luck.

I have some .mid files from my old spv c500, which i kinda like. However, even though the ringtone selector see's the files it won't play them. Is there a way to use them? Or is there a way to convert them to .wav?
Shouldn't be a problem.
They need to be named .mid, and they need to be in the \windows directory.
No, didn't work. It's like there is no file type association in WM2005. The icon for the file is just the normail icon Windows applies to unkown file types. Even the Mobile Windows Media Player doesn't play it. It's just a standard midi file, about 8k in size, and is call grandstand.mid The ringtone selector see's it, but won't play it.
Is there any way of downloading a new version of mediaplayer or a codec (not that i've ever heard of .mid files needing a codec) to support it?
check this thread.

That did the job, thanks alot.
That link has disappeared, can you post the cure or another link please as I have the same problem.
I recently upgraded my treo 750 to wm6 and installed and unistalled gsplayer. After I unistalled it none of my .mp3 files work. Could anyone please tell me where to modify registry to get the .mp3s working with windows media player.
USe Resco Explorer (trial will do) click on the file u wont to open if is not set to any program it will ask (open with) or u cen hold stylus on the button and select (open with...) and there shuld be a tik set as default
Vladimir, thanks for the response. I was able to associate the mp3 files with Windows Media Player, but they still won’t play. But at least, now they work as my ringtones. They used to work with no problem before I upgraded to WM6.
