can anyone tell me of a good program to convert mp3 files. Just need a simple program to convert my mp3 files to 64 bit wav in order for me to save space on my storage card.
Also when I use WMP 10 on my pda is there a way to lock the buttons. I cant listen to music with my pda in the case due to the buttons and screens always opening programs when I walk?
- I use Richard Goutorbe's freeware program "MP3toWMA"
http://www.reseau.org/mp3towma/
- I find the default 80Kbps is fine for listening to tunes on my i-mate PDA2K
He was asking for conversion to WAV not WMA. WMA and MP3 are smaller than uncompressed wave, why would you want wav? Unless you actually meant WMA.
As for a button lock, I'd suggest you use ScreenOff or Spb Pocket Plus's screen toggle to turn off the screen, which in turn locks the device but keeps it on.

I've serached and searched but have not found a solution... Please help!
A2DP works great when playing mp3 files with WMP. However when playing m4a files the phone switches automatically back to the phone speaker. Once an mp3 file is played again, it will switch back to the BT headset. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Also, is there a plugin for WMP to recognize the id tags of m4a files?
are you using windows media player to play the m4a?
it happened to me back to wm5 time while i was using the windows media player
,it just act like yours.
if you use 3rd party program such as tcpmp. it will play m4a via A2DP just fine. it's a problem of pocket media player.
Yes, I am using WMP. I've used tcpmp but is is pretty cumbersome to select files when you have to many. It does not have the options to select by artist, abum, etc...
I've looked all through the archives and come up with some very good solutions that, unfortunately, don't work. Possibly some of you have some solutions.
So, there's a slew of WMA files in the Windows directory that are there as options for ringtones, notifications, etc. There are also WAV files. Out of th ebox my HD played them all, as well as a custom WMA ringtone I dropped in there. I put both Pocket Player and Pocket Music on as well as some other things, and lost access to those files as ringtones.
Over to XDA Developers, the smartest guys I know. They said, this is because these music player programs associate WMA with themselves, and in order to use these files as ringtones it must be WMP that's associated. I uninstalled Pocket Player, detached all the associations with Pocket Music, and made sure that when I click on the WMA file from a file manager, WMP opens and plays it.
But guess what, the clips still don't work in Sounds and Notifications. I click on the file, test-play, and nothing happens. If I try to close Sounds and Notifications, the drop-down tests every file between the one I picked and the last one to find a file that works. Since they're all WMA there isn't one that works. I can't close the Sounds and Notifications window until I associate a WAV file with "Incoming Call".
It's not like I can't live without my precious personalised rings. It is, however, annoying that out of the box it worked, and I did something that means it doesn't now, and I can't seem to back my way out.
As I say, there are a lot of people who've had this problem before, and several threads in the archives. I've tried to read all of them, and not to sound too stupid. But any help you might be able to offer would be totally appreciated.
Thanks
So I wanted to use my Touch Pro 2 (sprint) as a music player. After trying a few music players, because I did not like touch flo 3d's, I stuck with winvibe. anyways I managed to MESS the ringtone playback up...
So what is happening now is: my phone will not play any mp3 ringtone or choose any mp3 ringtone. if I choose a mp3 file as a ringtone, sound, etc, it will not let me choose it (windows setting will not let me choose it). this doesn't mean mp3s don't work, I can play them fine on windows media player and the music player. it just won't play back as a ringtone in the settings and can't be selected as a ringtone.
These were the last two major things I had done since it was last working properly:
1) I did a file association in WinVibe to all supported files (mp2, mp3, ogg, wma, m4a, wav, wpl).
2) While playing back music, I made a call to my celphone (that was playing music) to see if the ringtone would go off causing the music player to stop.
It was at step 2 where I noticed this bug. since then I can't figure out how to go about fixing the problem.
any one experience this while music playback? what music player did you use and did ringtone function properly or interrupt the music player?
any help, fix, info, or comment will be appreciated.
additional info: I don't think file association is the problem. There are some sound files that are unaffected. it's the very few short alarms (which I think are all wav).
soft restart did not solve problem either..
What "setting" did you use to set your ringtone?
Click into Windows Mobile settings, then go to Personal > Phone, are you able to choose and set your ringtone through that?
doesn't matter, through that, the windows settings > sound & notifications or the manila touchflo 3d, settings > sound. they all don't work.
Most likely its the media player giving you the problem UNINSTALL IT
Hi guys,
Since a few weeks I own an HTC Touch Pro 2 running Win ME 6.1. It's a company phone, bought separately (so not combined with an operator contract). I'm running it almost freshly "out of the box" with just one additional application (TomTom) installed to it.
I bought an 8 gb uSDHC flash card, and put 1g of TomTom maps and about 3g of MP3 music on it. The most mp3's are 320 kbit cbr. Please do not start a discussion whether this is useless on a phone or not; the music comes from my central library from where I feed a lot of different media devices like an iPhone, some software mediaplayers, an old iPod, a Windows (Vista) Media Center and a Logitech Squeezebox. None of these devices give problems, only the HTC Touch Pro 2 phone is giving me a headache.
To these mp3's I have attached artwork, using MediaMonkey. I thought that would give a nice look to the music app., as it allows to browse through the music library showing this art.
But! The music players goes berzerk. It leaves me waiting for hours and hours ("searching"). But even one NIGHT (10 hours or so) of searching won't give me the complete library. The artwork does not match the music, sometimes all songs have the same artwork and the player won't browse through the music (not with the up/down software buttons on the left and not with the 'sweep' move). Sometimes it starts to browse by itself, giving me a minutelong show of coverart (but without music). If I succeed to start a song to play, playback sometimes gets interrupted at random times (and sometimes not, playing the song perfectly).
What a mess.
When I play the same music from the same source using the Windows Media app. on the phone, I have no problem at all. Within 20 seconds the library is updated, coverart is shown and the music plays and can be browsed without any delay or interuption.
Things I've tried:
1) Resetting the phone;
2) Renaming the file Audiomanager_Eng which is in Application data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng, then resetting the phone, then deleting the renamed file and start a new library search (by starting the music app);
3) Formatting the uSDHC card and rewriting the content to it, followed by step 2);
4) Formatting the uSDHC card with a different blocksize (I tried 1k, 4k, 16k and 64k, doesn't seem to make a lot of difference) and rewriting the content to it, followed by step 2);
5) Testing the content of the uSDHC card in the different states while working on step 4), by playing the music directly from the uSDHC card in Windows Vista on a host computer. No problem at all: Coverart was shown and music played flawless;
6) Copying part of the the content of the uSDHC card to an iPhone and playing the music on it. No problem at all: Coverart was shown and music played flawless;
7) Removing the largest coverart and replacing it with smaller images. The largest remaining coverart is approx. 500 kb (5 jpg's of 100 kb each). Again, this is no problem with any of my other music devices.
Who recognises these problems and even more important, who has the solution?
Bump
I got the same albumart for almost all my music, the problem is its a picture that copied to all songs by itself!
On my 8GB SDHC SanDisk I got about 2GB of music - I can flip through the songs with the softkeys and with the 'sweep' move but they all have the same (anoying) picture...
Edit: What I forgot: On my SDHC there is always a hidden file named 'hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg' showing this specific Albumart that is shown for all songs - even if the songs have different Albumarts on my Desktop (just copied them from the SD to proof the Arts are still there)
Additionally, I have removed all coverart except the front cover. So each mp3 now only has 1 jpg attached. Result: The problem that all songs have the same cover has become much worse. Almost every song has the same cover now.
This thing drives me mad;-(
I can't believe no one else has this problem. Anyone?

Hi there, try to delete that file, activate the music player, take out the SDHC card, wait until the mp says "no music" and insert the card again. This gave me approx 98% of the covers. Still some tracks don't swow their own covers, I'm clueless on the reason for that.
Does this work for you?
I might have found something.
It seems like coverart is linked to the album tag and not to the title or artist (or a combination of those) tag.
The hidden file you're referring to seems like a default image which is shown when there's no image found with the same name as the album.
Would you please check your library and tell me if you have missing album tags?
hi
my BA recently has become unable to use mp3s as ringtones. i guess it has sth to do with permanantly associating .mp3 with a different programm (stupid me )than the windows media player. but simply re-associating mp3s with wmplayer did not work.
i however can select them in the sounds & notifications window but if i press on play nothing happens. .WMAs work fine btw.
can someone tell me which registry keys are responsible for handling ringtones and the mp3-filetype (possibly with the standart values)?
i am using d-twos wm6.5.3 if thats of any interest

file associations have nothing to do with it. i use an mp3 ringtone and have tcpmp as standard player and can still use the ringtones and select new ones. unfortunately i can't tell you more.
Have you put the mp3's in the map "my documents-my ring tones" ?
That's the place here to switch between standard en own ring tones.
But when it work's in the past well then it's may another problem now.
How can i put a mp3 file to ring on the alarms?
