I hope I am posting this in the right place... if not, can a Mod put it where it needs to be ? Thanks!
I was in a business meeting and wanted to record it. I downloaded the app Tape-A-Talk to record the meeting. I constantly checked to make sure it was recording.(and it was) At the end of the meeting it showed that it recorded over an hour and 10 minutes. I guess the native format is 3gp. I saw in the settings that it could also be saved as a .wav file. So I save it as a wav file. (I guess that is where my troubles begin) The wav file shows up in the listing but I cant find it on the nexus. Also when I hit play... nothing!
The app also gives the option of emailing the wav file, so I tried that and a day later my phone and gmail show that it is still sending. I really need this recording and I would love to revert it back to the native file format. (I have since recorded several other test files in the 3gp fomat and they show up in the app listing with the wav file and they play when i hit the play button.) When I hit the play button on the wav file....NOTHING! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
pretty sure that wav file is uhh... massive. you'll never get that sent via email. ever.
hook the phone up to your computer? http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
either way, prepare for the worst. sounds like that file is corrupted (or you aren't giving it enough time to load).
Also maybe try playing it with the app called power amp
1. Send the wav from your phone to your computer.
2. Convert it to 3gp http://www.ojosoft.com/download/download-audio-converter.html
3. Do the free download
4. Send back to phone
5. Hopefully that works!
I finally got the file off of my Nexus. It is 212 megabytes, and is in WAV format. Now the problem is nothing will play the file ie. windows media player or even VLC .
I was thinking maybe if I convert it back to its native format, I might get the audio back. Does anyone know of a wav to 3gp conversion program that is free? Thanks again for all the help!

I've managed to install the cab file onto my xda 11s ( also known as XDA III / MDA3 / PDA2K / SX66 / Qtek9090), which allows me to play mp3's as ringtones. The problem is, when i select the mp3 i want to use by holding the stylus on the screen and selecting 'set as ringtone', it is not selecting it. Can anyone give me any advice please?
I would suggest putting the mp3 file into \Windows\Rings or what ever folder you have changed it to..
If you were to do the above mentioned step, you would see the mp3 file in the drop down list when selecting what audio file to be used as ringtone.
cheers.
I've still never managed to get this working on WM2003.. does it really work?
I'm still using comparably chuncky .wav files :-(

it might depend on your ROM version. I have 1.40 ROMs & have no problem. unsure if 1.3x ROMs support mp3 ringtones
never worked for me with mp3s on 2003. I just coverted it to wma, and put it in the rings folder then selected it as a ring.
Hey guys - I recently put an mp3 on the phone and wanted to use it as a text message alert. But it won't recognize it in mp3 format - just wav file.
Is there a way to bypass that setting so i can use mp3 vs wav format for text alerts?

It should recognize the .mp3... I just added some .mp3s myself, and they all were recognized as text sounds as well. Where do you place the file once you transfer it over to your phone?
Hi Rip - I had placed it in the Windows Root Diretory. Should I have placed it in another folder?
Where did you place your files?

If you have put the .mp3 on the memory card it has to go on the root dir.

I always place mine in the first screen after you've clicked 'Explore' in ActiveSync. I believe it's called "Mobile Device Center". Afterwards, it should allow you to select the file for texts.

That worked perfectly! Thanks guys
Just been syncing some music to my TP2 and, rather annoyingly, the HTC music player will not play in track number order!!
If I use windows media player, the tracks play in their correct order.
Anyone else seen this - or got a solution??
Are you using .m4a (AAC) files from iTunes? If so, my Touch Pro (raphael) does exactly the same thing. I find it so annoying too. Real shame to hear that HTC still can't even get this one simple thing right. Search the forums, there are various posts about it here and there, though as yet I don't think anyone has worked out a way around the problem - do have a look for yourself though as I gave up searching a few months ago ; )
If you use MP3 files, they will appear in track order...
Come on HTC - this is terrible!
My source music is wma lossless, and the sync process transcodes it into 192K WMA files on the phone.
Can`t believe this is a long standing bug!! V poor!!
just disavble any crappy "transcoding" in activesync - you don't need it.

I cant do that - my source files are *lossless* - that means file sizes of around 40mb per track!!!!

I have the same problem. I'm use the same songs from my fuze and the fuze loaded them right
anyone found a fix for this yet?
My source files are also lossless wma and the sync transcodes them to 128kb/s wma and I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to convince some HTC tech support guy that this is actually happening. I'm about ready to pull my hair out, this guy will not admit even the possibility of this happening. He keeps coming up with yet another thing to try or another reason that it is my fault.
I'm OK with the occasional bug in SW. Just as long as the company acknowledges it and works to fix it but when they go to this much trouble to avoid even acknowledging it ...

i had been looking for a fix to this issue for a very long time, until i found out that the problem is caused (in my case) by
1) windows media player not saving the track numbers correctly into the files
2) touch flow only looking in the "right" place for the track information, which is not the place where wm player stores it
my solution:
1) download mp3tag (freeware app)
2) put all tracks of album you want to fix into the program
3) select all tracks and re-save the tag information (you don't have to change anything, the program just saves the information that is in the audio file "somewhere" into the right place)
4) place the fixed files on your phone again
easy fix....use coreplayer
I never liked the way WMP or the native media player handled files, etc. Coreplayer has been such a better experience!
hi there,
There's something that's bugging me lately.
With any music player (stock, meridian, ecc) when i go to "all songs" (or i think it's called "tracks" on stock player) it only shows a half dozen files, as opposed to the 400 there should have been.
Funny thing is that when i explore with those music players inside the folders, the files are all there and magically from that point on, they appear in the "all songs" section and they play fine, but looking better, when i explore the sd card, it says "refresh to scan media" under each previously invisible file.
Every time i reboot the phone those files became invisible again and it's kinda annoying... anybody has some ideas?
Is there any difference in the music files? What format are they in? Maybe the scanner doesn't scan certain formats automatically. Just a guess though.
thank you for the answer, however, the issue disappeared. Don't know if that's what healed my phone, however i went exploring with ESfile explorer and found a rather useles file called "nomedia" with no extension and no format which appeared in the music folder. After that everything went back to normal.
I forgot to say that i recently bought a 16gg class 4 sd card and almost thought to call for a replacement... but things are working now!

.nomedia files are there to tell the default android media scanner to ignore that folder. It's used so sound and picture files from apps and games don't show up in media players. That was were your problem was

The number above is what appears when I open the file I'm the html viewer.
Every time I delete this file it reappears, but only if I'm connect to a network via WiFi or cellular. This file is not on my external sd card/removable sd card but rather on the phones storage.
I read somewhere that it has to deal with music setting for some mp3 but I don't buy it. Please any help or further study into this would be awesome cuz I'm stumped. I'll attach a photo when the filename.noextention shows up again.
Thanks

Do you download music? And where from? It's probably some key used to play downloaded music but just a guess.
I do download music. But this is a new phone and I recently factory reset it but before that I removed all music files except for things that came with the phone. I even removed the removable sd card all together just to be sure
I downloaded from multiple sources. Mainly soundcloud, sometimes bandcamp.com, less often mp3juices and some others.
In addition, I don't even have to play a particular song or music extension ie. Flac, wav, acc, etc... For the nmdsdcid.noextention to reappears. All that's required is an active connection and time
Even using different music playing apps the file won't reappear in the file manager.
Lastly it's not in any particular folder, which gives even less clues to which app or other file created it. It's just sitting under all my folders in:
Device/sdcard
When it reappears I'll attach a photo to this post.
That hexadecimal number changed

Either you leave it or you delete it. its a no biggy! If you flash a custom rom, be prepared to see it. That's all
