Playlists and mp3 with special chars, how to? - Desire General

Hi all,
I'm creating playlists with a prompt command (dir /b /on > playlist.m3u) in my computer, and then I transfer the playlist file to my Desire.
The thing is: some of my mp3 have special chars on the filename (e.g. (Beyoncé) Hallo.mp3). If I edit the playlist, I can see those files in it. I can also find and play those files normally in HTC player. But they aren't loaded in the playlist I have created in my computer, as it was supposed to be.
To put them into my playlist, I have to add them manually to the playlist in HTC player.
I have already tried changing the .m3u char encoding from ANSI to UTF-8 with no success.
How to create a playlist that actually includes and makes Desire plays mp3 that have special chars on their filenames?

Reassigning MP3s as default to windows media player

I installed a program and removed it (cant remember what it is now) that played mp3s as default.
Now my mp3s dont have a default option to play and I get the message 'system cant find the specified file'
Is there a way for me to get windows media player to play the files automatically.
Thanks
Hello,
I had the same problem, and moreover I was not able to use MP3 ringtones any more (does this also apply to you?). For me it was sufficient to add one key into the registry (I used Total Commander for it): Assign the value "MP3File" (without quotes) to HKCR/.mp3/default
Good Luck!
Thanks
Thanks,
I will give this a try and hope it works.
I have still been able to use my mp3s as ringtones but searching them in file explorer takes ages. They still also work in photo contacts only windows media player has the problem.

HTC Audio Manager Playlists?

Is there a way to import other playlists (.m3u specifically) into the HTC audio player/manager? I've browsed and searched with Total Commander, and can't find where they are located. I found a folder located at Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng called "playlists". But the folder is empty (I created a short playlist in the HTC player to help in locating the folder).
Anyone know the location, format of the playlists, and if there is a way to import or convert existing playlists from other applications? I have CorePlayer too, which works well. But I like the way the HTC player is integrated into Touch FLO 3D.
I wouldn't be that hard to re-create the playlists manually in the HTC interface. But its bugging me that there isn't an easier way to get it done!

just use the latest S2P it has imporved so much and a lot easier to make playlists
I know this is a semi-old thread, but just found it using a search. Have you figured this out? I'm trying to do the same thing on a Topaz. I did read in one post that the playlist files are .asx. I've tried copying .asx files directly to the HTC playlist folder you mentioned, but that doesn't seem to work. The playlists show up in the Library>Playlists screen, but they appear empy when selected.

I have the same problem. Originally the playlists will go to Storage Card\playlist. HTC player sees the playlists but come up empty. If I copy the playlists to Application Data\HTC\Audiomanager_Eng\playlists, the playlists are double in my playlist view.
Both will be empty but I can add songs to the playlists which are in the HTC folder. Please help..
Solution
I found the solution in another thread. Install the attached file Playlistmgr.cab on your device. (i hope i attached it correctly) Then run the program and open an existing playlist. Within that program, in the "File" menu select "HTC Audio Manager". Then select "Save Playlist As" and give the playlist a name (i belive it can be the same name). The program should automatically save the playlist to the correct location for HTC to recognize. You will probably have to perform a soft reset before the new playlist will show up in TF3D.
Hope this works for you.

[Q] WP7 MP3 as Ringtone

There MUST be a way in WP7 to set a MP3 as a ringtone. I used the a thread here to gain access to the device from the PC but all i see are the music folders. No ringtones, etc. Has anyone found a way yet? Thanks.
at this point you have to write an app that will do that .
Ringtones are most likely in the root folder and may only be in wma or wav format. Until we have access to the Windows folder or wherever the default ringtones live, we won't know if mp3 is an acceptable format.
To me, this is the most bizzare, mystifying Version 1 ommission in WP7. Surely, it can't be THAT complicated.... right?
Very simple, sync the music you want as a ring tone with zune.
Use touchexplorer and go to my documents /zune/..... there you find a folder which contains files like **.mp3.
Play till you have the right song, and then copy it to my documents ringtones. rename it if you want, close explorer and go to sound settings. now you can select the ringtone.
Wait up. Is touchexplorer actually out now?
I want it simply to make custom ringtones and alarms. Would I also need to jailbreak with chevron or is touchexplorer by itself enough. And if so, link?
I am not sure i undersand. sorry for being so slow here. I thought you couldnt get to a "file explorer". Is that what Touch Explorer does for you? Can you point me to the download please? Also, is this something you have working?

touchexplorer needs the phone to be jailbroken I think and can mess up the device.
This does work actually. The easiest way to find the song your after in touchexplorer is to find it by size. I knew my ring tone i made was 2 meg so i just looked through the folder 0100 (on mine it has 3 subfolders) till i found one at that size. It saves playing every Mp3 on your phone anyway. Oh and by the way it will play Mp3 as ringtones.
Use ChevronWP7 Custom Ringtone Manager for custom ringtones. WP7 doesn't support MP3 for ringtones, so you will need to convert your MP3s to WMA first, then use the Ringtone Manager to deploy them to your device. Easiest way to convert to WMA is with this free converter for PC. Make sure you convert to 48Khz WMA or WP7 might not recognize the file once you deploy it.
Is there any way we can choose tone for sms/email?

Overwrite the existing Alarm-##.wma or Alert-##.wma files in the \Windows folder using TouchXplorer or any of the other file exploring solutions.
Need to convert in Wma. no mp3
can;t convert in 48khz

the easiest way, imo, is to unlock phone and deploy TouchXplorer. put your ringtone, in mp3 format, into zune and sync it with your phone. then you can enter TouchXplorer and navigate to where all the music is stored on your device. once found, copy the mp3 and navigate back to my documents and then my ringtones, and paste the mp3 there. then go back to the main screen, go to settings, ringtones & sounds, click on the ringtone part and you should now be able to see your ringtone
YES- MP3 files are able to be ringtones
Just download the RingRing7v1_1.zip. found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990022
Make sure you extract all files to use the application
The file will then change from RingRing7v1_1.zip to RingRing7v1_1
READ THE README.txt first. you have to add ffmpeg.exe file into the RingRingv1_1 in order for the application to work. SOURCE-http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/files/FFmpeg/git-c9e16a9/FFmpeg-git-c9e16a9.7z/download
Click and drag the ffmpeg.exe file to the RingRing7v1_1 file to add.
After that, you should be able to open the application called RingRing7.exe
Pick any song, every song is then converted to the required wma format by itself, drag the song to empty bar next to Name, pick a start time for your ringtone and keep the duration to 30, its just a good duration time for a ringtone, but it can be changed.
Make sure the start time is like this 00:00:42.824
the 42 is seconds and the 824 is milliseconds.
PREVIEW the ringtone duration to make sure it where you want the ringtone to start on. It should preview on your zune software program.
If you like the ringtone.
Make sure your phone is on and your live tiles are showing, zune software is up, and the phone isn't syncing anything, and then DEPLOY.
The RingRing7 application should pop up on your phone, after it says SUCCESS. hit the menu button, and your custom ringtone should be added to your list of ringtones in settings!!!
Hint I found: Change the name of your song on the application if you want you ringtone to show up in alphabetical order. The name should pop up with the track number with it. Ex-"02SongTitle" Get rid off the track number before the song, then the phone will display only "SongTitle". Add the artist too if you would like.
ONE THING YOU SHOULD KNOW- Right now, there is no way to delete the added custom ringtones on your phone, only way is to do a hard reset or restore your phone to your previous update.
And that is how you add mp3 songs as ringtone without reformating every song to the dumb 48 Khz, and .wma formats. Also formats any other audio files too.

[Q] How can I copy HTC ONE X playlist?

I want to copy all the song titles/artists from my playlist into word or notepad. I mean somewhere in my phone must be a list of XXX song is in this playlist.
