Anyone know how to assign a program to launch a specific file extension? Ie I'm having problems with the fascinate music player not opening mp3's if I select one thru another program (astro file manager). I'm running noobl kernal and epic experiance. Thanks!

Go to the mp3 file using astro open the file then it should prompt you of what program to use by default. Also try to open the file in the player.

I try to open a large movie (over 2GB) on my HD2. The problem is that when I open TCPMP and try to select the file the 'navigator' sees a folder not a movie.
e.g. The movie is called Movie.avi but the program shows a folder named Movie.avi. I can click on it and it appears to be an empty folder.
If I use File Explorer I can see it as a normal file but it won't open because it launches WMPlayer instead if TCPMP.
All other movie files tried so far work perfect but they are all under 1GB. Does anybody knows a fix for this bug?
Thanks
I found a workaround: Options -> Settings... -> File Associations. Selected AVI and now I can open it directly from File Explorer.
I have a mp3 ringtone that I want to transfer to my phone. How can I accomplish this?
TIA

Have you plugged the phone into your computer and copy pasted the file over?
I am not sure where to start, how new are you to smartphones?

I am pretty new. I have not pasted the file over. I guess mainly I am just wanting to know what directory I need to put the file in? Do I need to create a directory? I have Droid Explorer working, and Root Explorer installed on the phone.
Ringtones:
path /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
ringtones. note, they must be of a certain size, I cant remember what, but it will tell you at the time of assignment
Notifications:
path /sdcard/media/audio/notifications
ditto to the ringtones.
NOTE:
/sdcard is what android sees it as.
When you mount it in to your computer, it will just be /media/audio/ringtones.
I'd also like to suggest Free application RingDroid http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.ringdroid for on-phone editing of ringtones from sound files. Very useful, very friendly, works quite well.
The file directory is:
sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
You should be fine using the default My Files app and not Root Explorer. Make sure to convert the MP3 to a WAV file.

DO you have to use WAV? I use mp3s for my ringtones and they work just fine..
mp3s are fine. and no size restriction. i've used up to 5meg files. it only plays the first 30 seconds, but it doesn't seem to have a size restriction.
if you want a specific part of the song, i recommend Audacity. easy free audio editor
ok, I created a folder /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
I then dropped a 1MB MP3 into that folder, I then noticed in the notification bar that the media scanner had started. But when I go to the sound and display menu and look under voice call ringtones, the mp3 I put in there isnt in the list. How do I get android to add it to the list?
Edit: Nevermind. I found out what was going on. Android browser had downloaded the mp3 and for some reason gave it the file extension of .mpga Once I renamed it from *.mpga to *.mp3 it worked fine.
You do not need to create /sdcard, it is the main directory. I also recommend converting the MP3 to WAV.
why do you recommend it? there isn't any need to convert the file...is it just personal preference?

THE free trial version of audacity now overlays a "Voice Logo" on any file you use it to create - basically every 5 seconds you hear "AVS Media Demo"
i tried using it last night to edit the mp3 file from that samsung promotional video
ended up downloading adobe audtion 3, you get full use of the program, free for 30 days with no logo overlay
I have tried the built in media player, doubletwist and also 'MixZing' I can't seem to figure out how to navigate to a particular folder to play an .mp3. What am I missing here?
I do not know how to do this from the player but here is what work:
Open File Manager (My Files)
Navigate to the folder
Double click the first mp3 file in the folder
File manager will offer a list of music players to play the file. The player will then proceed to play the files from the folder
In general, it seems like the use of tags in MP3 files is the way to go though.
Great tip! I never thought to use "My Files" since I normally use ES File manager, but that works great! Thank you.
So I am not doing anything wrong, these options are just not part of these players?
Im not sure I understand the question. Whatever files i have on my sd card show up in Video player/ Music Player, or whatever files the player is capable of playing, no matter where they are on the sd card.
The built in player doesn't have a file explorer
The built in player doesn't have a file explorer, but it should have all your compatible files indexed. It has an ok search function that you can use to find what you are looking for after you enter the app. click on the search touch button on the bottom right of your phone.
I'm looking for a way to assign extension like .jpg or .zip or .flv to a program, like android comic viewer, unrar, vplayer... I'm using estrongs file explorer
I am using mainly MX player to watch videos on an Samsung S3 Galaxy Tab.
Videos are located on a smb shared drive on my network, and i select the file to read using a file browser app.
since sevral months, display of the file name looks like an encoded string (>200 random alphanumerical caracters) but i cannot see the real path/file name anymore.
is there a way to fix that?
Best regards

File Manager HD is transcoding file name to their own format which can't be recognized by other apps.
I recommend using other file browsers which does not change file name such as BubbleUPnP, ES Explorer, etc.
