WM6 can't play MP3 files as ringtone anymore

[Guest Wayne1]

Hi

After I installed and after deinstalled the PocketMusic player on my HTC Vox smartphone, I can't use MP3 files as ringtones anymore :( If I open the MP3 files over the MediaPlayer, all songs where played normaly, but I can't choose a MP3 file as ringtone! Only WAV files can used as ringtones now :D

Any suggestions?

Thx

Wayne

I'm surprised this is still happening but this should fix it :

Basically you need to reassociate MP3s with Windows Media Player.

Could be association problem as stated by Disco Stu. Kindly check if the following registry values will work on your phone:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MP3File\Shell\Open\Command]

"Default" = "wmplayer.exe "%1""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MP3File\Shellex\EventSoundHandlers\{245F94CF-DD9C-46F9-B4C8-D2B14A877893}]

"Default" = "XME EventSound Player"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MP3File\DefaultIcon]

"Default" = "wmplayer.exe,-2001"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MP3File]

"EditFlags" = dword : 00010000

"Default" = "MP3 Format Sound"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3]

"Default" = "MP3File"

Had exactly this problem on my E650 and the bold entry was the one - there was a pmbak entry set to "MP3File" but the default was something like "pocketmusicfile"

Edited the default to "MP3File" and deleted the pmbak entry - all now works fine :(

The GSPlayer causes also the same error on my Himalaya with WM6, but follow this reghack now works fine! Thanks man!  :)  (Stupid GSPlayer! - I sweat with this for two days!)
