Cheers
for PPC2002 it's only WAV and for WM2003 you can use midi file too
WM2003 supports WMA files too.

Replace exsiting unused Ringtones!
I simply copied out the existing ones in 2003 to a directory on my PC (using activesync) than replaced them with my personal sounds and ringtones and copied them back using activesync. This let me over write the original ones and save memory. Now my PPCpe sounds like a P.A.D.D. from Star Trek! :twisted:
I even figured out how to replace the esiting BootScreen with a StarTrek boot I designed!

Hi
When i download some songs they are normally "Album : Unknown Album"
I also download some songs through the iMusic Tao app and it annoys me when they dont have an Album as the Album Art Grabber cant give it an album art so is there an apps on the market that will allow me to edit properties ?
Also whats the best ways of doing it on the PC is it just the basic vista one ?
Cheers

On the pc you can use wmp.
Nothing on phone to edit meta tags etc. at the moment (unless there is in which case do share )
There's mp3tagger pro in the market, its 99p. Let's u edit tags and album art. I used to use the free version which didn't allow for art change but was worked very well to edit the tag info. I guess the pro version will work just as well. Think it was developed by a member on here if I remember correctly.
Yes, that's right, I am the developer
You can choose "load directory" or "load by album" in mp3tagger pro and then bulk edit the album and artist name for all mp3s at once (it really writes the info into the files). Then you can automatically search for a cover with mp3tagger pro as well.
Hope that helps,
Lars
Another option (since I hate WMP for music) is MediaMonkey. It gives you a lot of options for syncing to different devices. You can tell it to copy folder.jpg into the album directory when it syncs, and you can also tell it to embed the album art into the mp3 files. All my album art seems to go across just fine with it.

Hey just bought your program the other day, really like it, helps sort out my album art problem, just one thing i would really like to see would be grouping of files by a search name as you could have directorywith 100's of different music files in them.

Sounds like an interesting option, I will add a filter dialog in the directory/file chooser in the next version.
You may want to check the latest version of mp3tagger pro in the market, it now has a filter for loading multiple files inside a directory.
imusic troubleshoot
How can i troubleshoot i music Tao?
Can some one kindly explain tome how to get my music file
associations back to standard please.
After downloading Coreplayer I noticed all my music files
had converted to Coreplayer association with the corresponding
CP icons in my file explorer,I would like to change this back.
Cheers for any help you can offer....
Open up core player, hit the menu or options button and you can get to tools then pages and you can find file associations just uncheck mp3, not the best description because i dont use it any more sorry, but its something like that

Cheers bud,I've done that,unchecked a few things and it seems the
WMA files I've got have reverted back OK to
Windows Media Player and have the right icon,but all my MP3's have the
Windows icon you usually get with programs and aren't selectable to play
from File explorer,if I select a track it just drops back to the home screen.
Music tracks are still selectable from HTC Player....
I'm at a brick wall at the moment,don't know what to try next ?
have you tried a soft reset?? and all so tried opening a track through windows media player that way it might pick them up
Yep tried that and updating my WM library,everything plays OK
but I still have this strange icon issue in File Explorer and
of course I can't select them to play from within there...
Seems like I will have to delete all the music and re-load them again,
all my ringtones and notification tones have stopped working.
Strange that they will all still play in hTC music player,but
are not selectable via File Explorer.
I would have liked a definitive answer to how to cure this,but
hey ho something to do on a rainy Sunday removing all my music files.
I ditched Coreplayer,not only did it cause this issue by associating all my
MP3's to itself,I found it quite irritating to use.
Well...deleted everything and uploaded all music files from my laptop again,
still no joy,I really need some more advice...
All my music files are still showing as Windows files with no music association...
please someone help !!
I can't get any of my music files to select as a ringtone,I missed several calls,texts and emails...
for the ringtone try dropping it into device-app data-sounds, i have no music on my phone, but i put ringtones there cause ms instructed me to do so, only problem is ringtone showed up in player and is ur music in ms format - wma i believe - i do not use i got 1.5 gb songs ipod format hope it helps
i decided to try and answer here instead of hd2 place
I have replied to your issue in another forum. Try using Resco File Explorer or Total Commander to set the file association back to wmplayer.exe.
Thanx Web,
but the issue isnt where the files are stored,they do already show up in my
selection of available ringtones and notification sounds (I had already been using them,so they are correctly placed in the phones folders.
The problem is if I click on one to hear it before deciding to select it for
shall we say my main ringtone nothing happens due to it
not having the correct file type....
I have selected 'Opens with' as WMP and they will open up from File Explorer
and play perfectly OK
and also in HTC player,but the file type is showing as 'unknown type'
instead of the generic HTC music icon it should have....
Hope that makes it clearer ?
OK I tried your suggestion Web and ringtones work now... thank fook for that cheers...
although they appear as more than one copy of each in the
selection folder now,this isnt a problem as I know to select the top
version of each to my alotted ring tones and can just delete the
other copies from where I have them stored.
So everything plays as it should now,it's just the icons that
are wrong.
thanks markt77 - appreciate the input - i try - and i am learning good knowledge from u and the other folks over there - boy it is sometimes really hard to get a response at xda when u request answers
but
it's the most innovative forum on the planet
so my dad just started using his vibrant for music, and it annoys the both of us that all of the ringtones show up. I tried the .nomedia file, and that did work for the music player,
but it also made picking the ringtone for the phone impossible.
so is there anyway to do this?

place an empty file called .nomedia in the directories where the ringtones, notifications are.
I do as follow on the linux box
Code:
touch .nomedia
adb push .nomedia /sdcard/media/ringtones/
And so on

apparently you didn't read my post. I didn't use adb, but i created a .nomedia file, and put it in those folders. And it did work, they didn't show up in the music player.
however, it ALSO removed all those files from the entire system. If i go to pick my ringtone, they don't show up, not in the stock picker, or rings extended.
anyone have any ideas?
Back in the days...i had the same issue with the G1.....

I doubt if there is a solution to this, unless someone is hiding it from us. I also only know about the .nomedia file, but it does totally eliminate it from the system and not just from the player. The same thing with the picture Gallery - it shows all the icons and folder.jpg files also = VERY annoying.
As far as I know, it has always been an issue which I only have to live with. - any updates will be appreciated, please.

I use an appacalled ES File Explorer to do any file management.
the .nomedia files appear to hide files from the gallery, music player and video player apps when that "media search" occurs upon disconnecting USB or powering up. Doesn't seem to remove them from the system.
Using the file explorer above I can very simply navigate to and play/view any such media in with whatever player I wish to. Suggesting trying ES file explorer out.

interesting, i'll give this a shot. I know manually adding the .nomedia file through windows or astro kills it from the entire system, except obviously for file managers.
well i tried creating a .nomedia file there, same thing.
but i really do like the UI of that app, so i guess the best thing to do now is just put .nomedia files everywhere and use that app to find my ringtone.
The album covers can all be hidden from gallery by calling the files AlbumArt.jpg - Im still looking for answer to hide music from player

hi
i have winmo 6.5 and deleted winmo default media player
so now when i put ring tone or tone for my alarm they dont work
and i cant switch on the media player
i am currently using nitrogen player and everything seems fine with it(so my sounds is ok)
just my ring tones are gone please help
how do you mean deleted?
windows media player is not in the program list so i assume you mean the shortcut in the program list?
if this is the case it should still be in the windows folder (in explorer) and even in that case should not affect your music.
on the other hand if you mean you deleted the files containing the ring tones you should still be able to use the HTC mp3 trimmer to make new tones from any mp3's you have.
a little more detail on the problem would help
audit
p.s. whatever the case reverting to factory settings will sort every thing out however keep in mind you WILL lose all your data so if you choose this option backup your phone.
