Hii all,
I Had a problem with my HP Ipaq 6818, it can't working properly because (I guess) some of files of my Window media player was deleted intuitively, then the player can't working as expected. My Window Media pLayer can't read some of tone files such as .midi, Mp3 etc. So only standard ring can be used. As I know the only way to fix it is by re-install ROM or ROM upgrade coz Window media player is part of the window mobile. I can't found any installer for the media player mobile WM.5.
fyi, When i try to load the ring tone then the notification was "this Ring tone is corrupted or unavailable" so only old ring only that I can hear rightnow, and it so boring
Need your suggestion to the anybody who know how to fix it without flashing/re-install my ROM. it is appreciated if somebody can help me. tks

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?
hi there,
i've got a samsung omnia with a cooked rom and everything worked for a month until 2 days ago when suddenly the ringtone for an incoming call has been changed (by something i dont know) to the wm default (which i can't hear!)
when i try to change it through the sound settings it switches back to the damned ringtone that i don't even have between the list of ringtones i can choose! it's called ring-WindowsMobile .wma
something could be in conflict with the audio settings because i cannot change ANY sound notify (sms, mms,ecc..). the difference between incoming call notify and the others is that the others notifies are still the same i choose before this "crash" but the incoming call notify has cahnged and cannot be changed back!
i also tried to install some software to administrate the audio settings but has not worked.....
what can i do?sorry for my english and the lenght of the message!
no ideas???
at least some tip to change the ringtone manually from the regisrty or kind of stuff please
all that "changer;" is, is a graphical interface for changing the ringtone. even if you did it manually it would change back with what ever was in conflict.
it could be a program u you installed or a bad flash.
I recomend a hard reset to fix the problem since by your description it sounds like it may have been a program you installed that screwed things up.
I came accross a similar problem to my old TyTN.. it seemed an audio player i installed associated all media files to it.. well that makes sence.. but.. when i assigned an mp3 as a ringtone the ringtone wouldnt play!
associating mp3s with windows media player fixed my problem! maybe something similar happened to you?
check it out.. hope it helps!

I
LOVE
YOU!
you avoided me to hardreset for such a problem like this!
it was resco audio recorder which screwed up the audio settings!
thanks a lot!
ps: when i use wmp or mortplayer to play an mp3 in "MY Storage" or in "My StorageCard" both programs return an error "could not find specified file" i think it's because of the space in the name of the folder which screw up the path..
how can i solve?

Heheh glad you solved it!!
i never use media player or mortplayer for my audio files.. i either use s2p or coreplayer!
dont know whats going wrong on your side :/
try using s2p and see if it returns the same problem! have u tried audio manager?
with audio manager its all ok
but if i set audio manager as default player for mp3 when i tap on a mp3 it opens audio manager with the last file played instead of the selected mp3 and the player stays on pause
anyway...i'll try s2p
thanks again!
thank............
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?
Hi All
As the tittle says I whant to know how to hide music files in HTC Music Player
Seconded. My g alarm tone is showing up in my music library and I'd like to get rid of it. Thanks
Make them hidden. I run into the same problem today and i went to the files and made them hidden, soft reseted and problem solved.
?
Thank you But I have one question will the programs find that sounds and work correctly
Yes, it finds them by path, not by if its hidden or not. The file is there, it doesn't matter what attributes it has.
I have read on other forums where users report that their built-in default music player stops as soon as they switch away from the screen and others say the have no issue. So I guess this is a mysterious bug. It's driving me nuts. Any ideas in trouble shooting this?
no help here
Sorry mine won't turn off no matter what buttons I push. Matter of fact I can't figure out how to truly turn it off, all I get is pause. Without advanced task killer it just sits in the drop down menu, waiting.
I do have the other bug with it though, I can't sort by artist with a lot of music on there. 25gigs, hit artist and it crashes and says not enough memory. There is more than a gig free on both the internal and the external cards. Bummer.
As of today it now plays in the background. If I can figure out a rhyme or reason as to why it wouldn't before I'll report back.

Mine always played in the background. You must be confuse with stock video player which can't play in the background for obvious reasons.

Nope, no confusion. When the program "Music Player" is launched a task manager shows that it is running but if the companion program, (whos name I cant remember) is not also running then the music will not play in the background. The companion program is launched by Music Player when an audio file is started. It has a similar name to Music Player. I believe it is named Sound Player and it has the same icon as Music Player.
If you start a playlist or album or whatever in the stock player and hit the home key it will show the music player now playin in the notification bar (where you can pause or skip songs. If you go back into the program and use the back button all the way out the program closes.

Ok, now I know how you get confused. Sound Player and Music Player are two different apps. No, Music Player does not require Sound Player in memory. Sound Player can't play in background while Music Player can.
The only way to launch Sound Player is to use My Files File Explorer and open mp3 or other sound files directly. On the other hand, Music Player can only be launched from app launcher and it offers following additional features:
1. Support albums and playlists.
2. Support 5.1ch playback on headphones
3. Support playback on the background.

That was some odd notations I made while I had a task manager installed last week. I just tried what you said and you are 100% exactly right! Phweeeh thats a relief. I was worried it would go back to not working later. Thanks for the insight.

My music player shuts off when I launch the camera app. Gingerbread I think you found a legitimate bug.
Does anyone have a replacement for sound player (not music player) that can run in the background? I'm sick of having streaming podcasts end when I need to do something else with my phone.

I think that people who have very large music collections will find that the player shuts off when they go into certain applications. My feeling is that this is Android's internal memory manager subroutine figuring that the audio player is eating up way too much memory, most likely due to the database being loaded the entire time the player is running, and deciding to close that one program rather than ten others to free up the same amount of space. How much memory does your player eat up while running?
The Sound Player is opening instead of the Music Player
On my Vibrant, a .mpga file used to open using the Music Player but now the Sound Player is opening instead. My phone is completely stock, never rooted and no aps downloaded, but I can tell which player is opening: after the player opens, I close it and then press and hold the home key to see which program just opened by noting the first program name in the list of the 6. (The two player's interfaces look almost identical so it is easy to think that the Music Player is opening when the Sound Player is the one actually opening.)
Some possible clues to the cause: I had just used the sound recorder for the first time. It creates .amr files. The .amr files showed up in the Music Player's playlist, but the file wouldn't play; so I browsed directly to the file using Files, clicked on the .amr file and the Sound Player opened the file. But now the Sound Player its opening .mpga files instead of the Music Player and my Music Player's playlist is now empty. (At least that is what I think the sequence of events were.)
I imagine that resetting the phone to factory default would fix it, but I'll have to learn how to backup my address book, web favorites, and goggle map starred items.)
I posted here because I believe I have detected accurately what is happening (maybe not the cause, but the fact that the wrong player is opening), and you experts might be able to suggest a workaround or get the bug fixed.

The mp3 must be in the music folder on the sdcard in order for music player to play in the background.
Not true. I've had music in other folders that got pulled into my music library.

Try force a media scan to see if it fixes your Music Player playlist problem.
