I have a problem to scan the mp3 from my storage card. It seems it can read the files but they never be added to library. In "open file" mode it works normaly.
I need the media player only for my w100 remote control that dont works whit htc audio manager. If there are some fixes to use the htc audio manager whit the w100 remote control i need that. I had tried to install the audi drivers from htc site, but it says that the drivers just installed. After this i tried to set the htc audio manager als default player whit the htc home customizer, but id had any effect.
Sry by my bad english
Thanx for all helps
I don't think you are the only one with this problem. I have a 8gig sandisk and i can add to the songs to my library, which allows me to sort by artist, song type, etc. After a while (from a few hours to a few days) i will loose this ability and I am unable to transfer these songs from my card back to my computer and play them. This happens to both songs and videos.
Other information on the card (i have TOMTOM) is not affected. So this looks like a bug in Windows Media Player.
Can anyone confirm this?
SOLUTION!

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?
Hey
*I was wondering if there is a good way to play wmv/mpg/... on the htc raphael?
As media player (on the raphael) can't find my mpg files on my disc when i update the library.
*Even mp3 songs give problems (i used media player to synch it but media player always uploads songs again you uploaded in the past too when you deleted them from the library)
For the mp3's I used the touch flo player first, which worked great, but since i quit using media player and started using winamp to put the mp3 files on it, TF3D crashes when i go to the music tab, and restarts.
Any solution for this? as Windows Media Player on windows mobile is slow and doesn't work good

hi there , i have an 8G sdhc , contains over 4G of mp3's , touch flo 3d player is unable to load all songs - when i play some files - it randomly stops playing ..., ehm ...windows media player - after some time of playing using 70M of ram ... .mmm ,nice (system speed going down) finaly nice conduits pocket player - i like it very much , but ... cpu load is somewhere around 60% , and randomize knock down system to some "agony" it's hardly slow - all system things are loading one by one - titles loading look like someone writing fast on keyboard :/
thinking about sell my TP ,I'm hardly disapointed
No matter what song I play from my MicroSD card, the whole Audio Manager just shuts down after about 30 seconds or so of playback. If I use the Music tab in my Manilla2d, the playback just crashes. I don't know why and I can't find a solution when using the search tool.
What's weird is that the songs all work fine in Windows Media Player.
Any help is appreciated.
What Pocket PC model are you using?
Sorry, I forgot the simplest of information.
I'm using an unbranded HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris), the official WM6.1 ROM and I installed Manilla2D on it.
Are you sure you have the latest builds of manila and audio manager?

can you post a screen shot cause i have only seen upto ver 1.2
I have the Audio Manager that comes with the build of Manilla2d I downloaded. I think I got it from freewareforpocketpc. I downloaded the exactly same thing for my HTC Touch Dual a few months ago and it worked fine. It also worked fine when I only had one song on my phone and that was in My Documents on the device itself.
Attached is the .cab and a screenshot of it.
Can anyone help me with this? It's really annoying. I have to settle for WMP to listen to my music and I don't really want to.
I had a similar problem - Audio Manager was using 99% CPU when it was trying to play 2 MP3 files in particular. Using WMP on my PC, I looked in the Advanced Tag Editor and under "Comments" there was some info which was not in other MP3 files. I removed this info, re-downloaded the MP3s to my phone and it started working.

Did you find a solution to the problem? I increased my music collection from +2gb to +6gb and now experience this same problem. I even re-encoded the MP3s to WMA, lowed all files to 128kbps, no folders, or album art, but same problem. The 2gb collection was resample to 96kbps to save on space. I haven’t tried that yet on the larger collection.
HTC Audio Manager ver 2.0 (build 1819.3326)
Edit:Solved - Well, for me. If any of the folder have files names FOLDER(2)(3).JPG etc, remove. It’s fine to leave FOLDER.JPG & FOLDER1.JPG.

Thanks for that. I will try this after I update to AM 2.0 again. I'm currently using 1.0.
Anyone encountered the "Can't load AAC decoder" error?
Volume
Is there no volume control in audio manager 2.0

Where this folders and folder's names usually are?
Ok I now can tell you that by using a program called Bulk Rename utility I renamed all of my mp3s and anything else in the directories that had any ( ) or { } in them. This seemed to work as for the first time I was able to listen to at least 5 songs in a row... Will test further but I believe this will fix it for good.... Thanks again to Silverexp!
I had some media files (2 albums) stored on the Device memory. I cut and paste to the storage card and now the media player won't play anything, and it won't recognise new albums on the storage card?
Error message is...
We're Sorry....
A problem has occurred with AudioManager_eng.exe.
I have tried a soft reset but no luck, is there a way to reset the media player to default in anyway? or reload the sw?
I am using XDA Serra.
Cheers, Blair
re
Bump.......does noone know how to fix this?
Cheers, Blair
Same issue with me. I'm using NATF's 2.3 on the Fuze.
re
Well I am using S2P now which is working really nice, and is better that the Touch Flo player, although it doesn't have a playlist option.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417511
However I would prefer to get the TF version working, even if I won't use it much now.
Cheers, Blair
I'm not sure but if you don't sync youy music library trough media player on your pc you're not be able to see it in Touchflo media player...
So try to sync some music this way or scan trough wmplayer to update the library, maybe this way TouchFlo media player show the list.
However I used to refresh the Touchflo music library deleting the folder called HTC under Application Data Folder at the root.
Reset the unit.
Just because TouchFlo does'nt seem to refresh any change made if I keep the same name on playlists or make modifications on albumart.
Hope this help! But I really recommend conduits Pocket player as the best player (lyrics, bluetooth, fullscreen albumart, equalizer, dsp, etc.)
TF3D Music player..
Thanks! Just downloaded the Conduit Pocket Player. Still wish I could use the TF3D interface to this or WinMediaPlayer. Maybe will be addressed in future NATF rom...

Anyone else have trouble w/ Pocket Player on the Fuze? It seems to 'skip' about once or twice a song, w/ no exceptions. I can't figure out how to fix that. Any ideas?
Hello,
yes, I'm new to this forum. And yes, I right away have a really special problem
I have ripped my 2000+ CD's onto a harddisk. Now I've bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 which has the USB host feature which works without problems.
When I use the stock music player, I can't remove the USB harddisk with the large MP3 library because when I do, the automatic media scanning removes all files from the database, and when I connect the harddisk again, all files are scanned anew which lasts an eternity
So I looked for a music player which maintains its own database independent from the Android one. After a REALLY long search I found TTpod which works well - when I remove the USB harddisk, the TTpod library remains unmodified and doesn't get rescanned when connecting again, just like I wanted it. The music folder on the harddisk got a ".nomedia" file so it's invisible to the Android media scanner.
BUT (!), and that's why I'm asking here for help:
TTpod doesn't have a search function! (The stock player and some others have.)
But I need one! Often I have to search for something like "Err... there was this piano prelude by Brahms...", and in other players it's easy: I type "brahms piano prelude" into the search box, and voilà - there are all matching files listed. But with TTpod it's very awkward to find something in a larger collection!
So, my question in short:
Is there any media player
1) which has an own independent media library with search function
2) which can use a folder on a USB device as root folder
3) whose library remains unaltered when the storage medium is disconnected
4) which can index this folder in spite of a ".nomedia" file in it?
Or is there any other possibility to solve my problem and maintain a huge MP3 library with my SGS2 comfortably?
Thanks in advance,
best wishes,
Hasenbein1966
Try PowerAmp,
You can turn off system media scanning and i believe it keeps its own database.
I'm sorry, but PowerAmp uses the built-in Android library.
AND it can't use a folder on an external USB device.
*sigh*

Try power player..
Do you mean "Power Music Player"? There's one app named Power Player but that's for streaming...
Power Music Player doesn't work. Shows empty Library tab; I can't choose any folders.
I don't want to be impolite, but please suggest an app ONLY if you tested it yourself, otherwise this thread will be filled with suggestions like "Try Mixzing...", "Try PlayerPro..." I REALLY have tested MANY apps myself already, otherwise I wouldn't ask here!
Thanks!
