I know this error has been mentioned on these boards but it seems to always have been in conjunction with youtube. In my case, I signed up to wauw.com to stream music from my PC and everytime it launches on my phone it uses Realplayer. Is there any way to force it to WMP or Pocket Player?
Do you know the stream format? Sometimes it will download a .m3u playlist file to \My Documents. If that is the case & you can find the .m3u in \My Documents you can change the association easily with a good file explorer like resco. If the file is there, click & hold on it, then select open with & make sure to check the "always use this program to open this file type" check box.
Otherwise, let me know the format & I can possibly help you.
No clue but I have m3u associated to Pocket Player. I decided to use Orb instead of Wauw which works fine with Pocket Player. Thanks anyway.
I have a Synology 207+ and need a music program on my TyTN II, that are able to access the share folder on my Synology and play the music. I have S2P which is great so I'm looking for a program like that.
As it is a NAS, I don't think it has streaming capabilities. You might want to use one of the following programs/plugins:

HTC Network plugin (attached)
...
Use these programs to map the network drive which contains your music. This way you can browse to your music and play it using WMP (I think).
Good luck...
I already map my Synology drive with PPC total commander, so is these plugin then nessesary? I have my videofiles working with TCPMP already, it's just the music files that are missing.
if it only show video and not audio in the same dir mounted then it sounds like the audio is not in a format that TCPMP or whatever audio program can use
p.s. streaming is not the same thing as having access to files over a network
streaming is not realated with files on the clients end at all
Okay, let me elaborate. You're right I don't want to stream. I want access to the music folder on my synology and play it from there. I have it working with videofiles in TCPMP. They are two separate folders.
i'd asume you do it the same way
as a test you could try placing a single music file in the video dir and check if it shows up
Since you were able to find the video files, it should be no problem finding the audio files.
TCPMP doesn't show files with extensions it doesn't support. That seems to be your problem. Although it would have to be a really rare extension, giving the wide support of formats by TCPMP.
Can you see your music files when you browse to the folder using file explorer on your Kaiser?
PS: Just wondering: how have you managed to map a network drive using Total Commander? I didn't know the option existed (as far as I know, the option does not exist)
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..!!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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..

...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!!!
As like many of you i have installed f.e. rockplayer to play videofiles.
When i use a file explorer s.a. astro or es fileexplorer and i like to open a videofile listed on the sd card, i would like like this file to be openend by rockplayer by default. Or give me the possibility to choose from every player installed. Sometimes a popupmenu appears, but no rockplayer or other players installed are there.
Can rockplayer acces my network shares and play the video files from there?
Coreplayer undr w.m.6.5 can do that.
Eager to see solutions.

I would to know this also, i have the same issue
Go to settings->Applications->Managed Applications->All (The Tab on top) and find the application that is currently the default for the operation you had in mind. Click it and find the button "Clear defaults".
Next time you try to open/run the file you want, the phone will ask for the desired application to do the job and give you viable options. (Adobe Reader and ThinkFree Office for .pdf files for example)
This is driving me crazy, but I never ask....
How can I set a default app to open with a certain program?
When I click a video file it opens in MX Player. Fine.
If I select an mp3 it opens with ES File Explorer's player.
mp4? flac? Says I don't have an app associated with that file type or something.
In ES File Explorer they play if I long press, then go to menu and play. But that's annoying to do everytime. I just want to click once, like I do for an mp3.
