Hi,
I use all my music library as common playlist , and it is quite annoying to hear mp3 ring tones in Storage's "My RingTones" folder.
Is there any way of avoiding to the Library to include those mp3's.
Thanks in advance for your help

you can specify in WMP how large the files minimally should be before they can be added in your playlist
if all your music is above 1mb and the ringtone is lower than 1mb then set 1mb
Thanks Prewien.
I'm sorry but I've looked at WMP in TouchFlo and WMP app in programs and none of them has that "minimum size" option.
Can you please explain me where can I customize that value?
Thanks
P.D. ROM = udk HD
Does anyone know how to change that option?
sorry! i just checked it out at WMP but that option wasnt there sorry! i thought i saw that once..
but its strange i dont have that problem
maybe if you delete them from the WMP library it 'll be gone..?
bumping for the answer. it's quite annoying to have all these small ringtones and stuff in the music player.

I can't assign mp3's as ringtones anymore for some reason.
They used to work, but now Windows doesn't allow me to even select them from the list of all available ringtones (they are listed, but when selecting them and pressing "ok", Windows automatically selects the next song from the list, which is in mwa format)
When I convert my mp3's to mwa, they can be played.
No one having the same kind of problems?
I can't set mp3's as ringtones or sms-sound. But I can play those same mp3's with AudioManager, with Mediaplayer, TCPMP and with Gsplayer.
Wav and mwa files can still be used (lucky me)
Is there perhaps a default player or some setting in the register that points to a default player that needs adjustment?
Had same problem before
I also experienced this problem before. I found out that in order for mp3's to work as ringtones, they had to be associated with windows media player. To fix this, go to GSPlayer, TCPMP, and any other media player you have, go to their respective settings, and uncheck Mp3 as a file association. Your mp3 ringtone should work now.
I have my mp3s associated with tcpmp and can assign them as a ringtone just fine. Not sure how you are assigning them, but this is how I do it.
Open file explorer, browse to mp3s, click-hold the mp3 I want as ringtone, choose "set as ringtone" from the context menu.

Ahh, thanks a lot. That seems to be it!
At least I was thinking in the good direction with that default player

This is exactly what I did when I had the same problem. Those file associations will cause you some problems.

If it works just fine with you with TCPMP, then the problem must lie with Gsplayer, since that was my default player for mp3's.
Fixing Ringtones
I had this problem and worked out how to fix it.
Look at the following Reg Key (change midifile to mp3file for mp3 issues)
Delete any EventSoundHandlers already in place and add this Key.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\midifile\Shellex\EventSoundHandlers\{245F94CF-DD9C-46F9-B4C8-D2B14A877893}]
@="XME EventSound Player"
Problem fixed.

Hello everyone,
audio manager searches the whole phone for mp3s. since i have quite a few mp3 ringtones it is very annoying when htc audio manager thinks the mp3 ringtones are music files too.
is there any way that i can make htc audio manager only search a specific folder on my wings for music? this way i wouldnt have to remove the entries everytime or i wouldnt have to make new playlists every time...
thanks
no solution right????????
Sure...
Place your ringtones in the path noted in the registry value:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager\ring_tone_path
Default value: \My Documents\My Ringtones\
Done.
Now help with my _setup.xml
this solution doesnt work because the sound files from the windows operating system are still included in the default playlist of the player. so for example im listening to music, then suddenly i hear the "battery empty" sound and it scares the **** out of me because i think my phone ran outta battery AGAIN
that's interesting. those sounds don't show up in my library.
That is very weird, I dont have those sounds either, could you have changed something somewhere that import's every music file on the phone & card?
Guys I have a about 1 GB of music on my memory card and guess what the HTC Audio manager does not play music anymore. It shows me all the tracks I can scroll through the list but as soon as I press the button to play it pauses and then reboots the phone.
Howevr, I can play the same music via the windows music player. So there is nothing wrong with the memeory of the music tracks.
Any suggestions
Call HTC Tech support, reset the phone to default settings. Sounds like something is causing an error and then a reboot. Or something infected the phone and now its sick. I would reset the phone first then call HTC and see if they can help. Plausable they shipped it out with a bug...
I think the newer versions of the HTC audio manager uses a different registry entry device_scan_path and device_scan_path_path0
just enter where your music files are located under these entries and put the ringtones somewhere else. this worked for me.
I too am look to solve this problem... I had downloaded a bunch of extra sounds for my verious notifications. currently I have them stared on my sd card \Storage Card\My Documents. My Music is on \Storage Card\Music. When I start up AudioManager it finds the files in both folders. I changed the 2 registry key and put them both the same witch place the songs 2x in the library and I also tried leaving the second entry black. both occasions the files from noth folders were in there.

Have you tried moving your ring tones and such music off the SD card and into the handset location for that type of audio file? Also check in audio manager, I havnt looked recently but I thought you could tell it to check only the SD card? Maybe I am just loopy (wouldnt surprise me)...

I'm not suggesting you move your music, just the files that are not for musical enjoyment, the other misc sounds that get used for ring tones etc off the card. Its been a while since I have been in audio manager and will have to play around with it.

THats what I am talking about also... I dl a zip file with a bunch of sound (not music) too much to move to the device
Hmm I recall Audio Manager having more options, but I am not always with it
If I have the time I can take a peak into the registry but others are more aptly suited for such an adventure.
For now my suggestion (if you have not already done this) is make play lists, I dont know how much you have as music and how much is random audio clips. You can also try going through and removing some of the audio clips you are not using? With playlists at least while the program may list all the music files on the card the ones you dont want to hear wont be in your playlists so you wont have to worry about them quite as much...
I have the same problem. I've modified also the registers but there is no effect.
Thx for help, i had the same problem on HD2
Hi,
after try and fail of the Vibe player (or something similar), because i don't like the media player the fileassociation is lost.
How can i rearrange the files back to the MP?
And another question is there any player wich is similar to Winamp?
or any other good advice for playing mp3?
THANKS!!
OK... To find out how to change the File Assocs was easy. When i start investing some more time in it.
But(Why is there always a but?) when changing the File Assoc now mediaplayer starts, but with an error. It says that the Path is not correct.
In the properties of the playlist item i can see that "/Internal Storage/Music/ is missing so i entered these values manually in front of the %1 parameter.
But... that doesnt change anything. The Path will no be recognized.
How can i do that?
Thanks!
So... at least i found out myself...
Just set the %1 in parameters into doublequotes (").
That was all...
And for refreshing WMP library just close WMP.
Delete MSMETADATA and WMDRM directories from Internal Storage.
Start WMP again and refresh library.
mp3 file associations - RSS Hub and TF3D player
1st_Xypher,
I have a related issue with mp3 file assocations.
For me, I use RSS Hub to automatically download my mp3 podcasts, but the problem is, is when I click on the podcast in RSS Hub (after it is downloaded, WMP is launched to play it).
I don't want WMP to launch and play the podcast, I want TF3D player to play the podcast.
So, I think I have to:
1) change the mp3 file assocation in Windows mobile to TF3D - but I have no idea where to do this. I have looked in the registry but I am a bit of a lamen.
2) Mod the registry for RSS Hub, but again, I don't know how to do this.
Do you experience similiar issues with RSS Hub? and do you have any suggestions?
Thanks.
I have the same problem.
My file association for MP3 is gone. No idea how to get it back.
All my ringtones that ive used now dont work and the phone uses the default windows ringtone when i get a call.
sigh
The same thing happened to me when I installed a media player. I used total commander to fix the association, it worked.
However, media player can play .mp3 but I cannot use .mp3 as ringtones???I can select them, but they will not play. The default phone ringtones are .wma, how can I use .mp3 ones??
Bump...this is so important..!!

Use the File Explorer(Not 3rd party File Explorere) from /Start/Programs, goto the Music folder where you place your .mp3 file. Click & Hold, a drop-panel appeal select "Set as ringtone"
Hmm...thanks man, but there is no such choice...
I only get:
"cut,copy, rename,delete,send, beam file" .....
any other ideas guys??
....bump...
Why don't you try Schaps Advanced Config?? on the right context menu there's an option File Associations??
That should do the trick....so start advanced config and tap on 'menu' and then File associations
Hope this will help you all..
Greetzz Jeroen
...the association is fixed, I can select and play .mp3 files now with media player BUT when I select them as contact ringtones (in the contacts information tab) they WON'T FUNCTION...no sound, NOTHING...while the default .wma ringtones work fine...
other ideas??
i got a similar problem but its with image files. I recently installed coreplayer and it took the file extentions jpg jpeg png etc over i removed them from coreplayer and now none work with i click on them. I will give this mentioned total commander a try and that other one. I hope one of them works!!!
Does anyone know a way to "block" folders from being scanned (added to the library)?
The reason for this question is that I have my music in \My Documents\My Music & my ringtones in the folder \My Documents\My Ringtones
The problem is that wmplayer also adds (scans) the "My Ringtones"-folder and I was hoping someone could give me a HowTo to block it from being scanned....
It is really a pain-in-the-*** when playing "all music" as it also plays all the ringtones......
Thanks
as far as know you cannot 'block' files or folders from being added, but the best way i find to get round it is to make a playlist in windows media player on ur computer of the music you want, then sync the playlist to ur phone, not the individual music, then the playlist will show up in media player on your phone and play that, as the playlist will only contain the music you want and not other files that have been added to the library by media player,
hope this helps!
Adam
That's what I have done myself, but sometimes I get music, when at a friend or something, and want that to be played but it is not a two-step-way to add to playlist on the phone itself
FYI: In CorePlayer they do it in some other way (much better ) There you can set the folders you want to be scanned.....
Thanks anyway
thats ok, i tried!
the other thing i would have said would be to use the TD3D music player! as you can edit the playlists from the phone itself, then you could add files at a friends house, then add them to the playlist on the phone.
Adam
Sorry if this issue has been posted before ... my search didn't find it ...
My Xperia X1a has quit playing my MP3 ringtones, and instead seems to only play WMA. If I try to designate a MP3 as a ringtone, and sample it, no sound happens. If I browse to the MP3 file and try to open it, a message appears that states no application is associated with MP3. But Media Player still plays MP3s ok(??)
Please advise ...
TIA, and cheerios from the Avalon Peninsula

Thanx for your reply. I would describe it as a "generic" icon, white with the "Windows" flag.
