Hi All,
Can someone please tell me how to edit the registry to change the default Audio player from Windows Media Player to HTC Audio Manager.
More specifically...
I'm using
LVSW_Trinity_WM6_v2.0.1.1 (2007-05-27)
with
Cyberon Voice Commander 2.0
When I use commands like "play music" or "next" I would like the program to use Audio Manager (or any other player that not Windows Media Player).
Also,
With Voice Commander, does the program have to be active to use the voice commands or there a way to use voice commands while voice commander is running in the background?
Use Resco Explorer. Tap and hold the media file in question, from the menu that appears tap 'open' then 'open with...' you will get a list of programs or the option to browse for a program. Select Audio Manager (if it's in the list or browse to it if its not. Check the 'Always use this program to open this file type' box and click done. Voila
Cheers Mate... You're a legend. So simple, no need for registry editing.

if you use a regeditor goto
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT]
look for you extension ie .wmv
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wmv]
it says in there
(Default) WMVFile
goto
Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMVFile\Shell\Open\Command]
@="wmplayer.exe \"%1\""
change wmplayer.exe to whatever you use

Strange Problem with HTC TP2
I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 from US Cellular - stock rom - I have only modified a few little things...
Anyway, I recently used File Explorer to change my default media player for MP3 files back to Windows Media Player - and now my phone won't play MP3 ringtones or alets! WAV files still work, but if I select an MP3 as my ringtone, it won't let me play it - and when I close the screen, it reverts back to a default windows ring tone...
This is driving me nuts - and I would prefer not to do a hard reset if at all possible! Please help!
Never mind - I found the issue - in my registry under MP3 file info - it said "MP3-File" - then I compared to WAV - which said only "WAVFile" - so I changed "MP3-File" to "MP3file" - and walla! Fixed
How do i make a media player the default player for microsoft voice commander?
Hi,
I can initially play songs using the voice commander.. however i cant seem to use the other commands when a song is already playing (i.e next, what track is this, pause) .. i made coreplayer my default media player.. any ideas?
Thanks!
Hey guys i want to know if its possible to map a drive on my network so that i can access the files via Coreplayer to directly watch it.
Has anyone done that before? Possible or not?
Please feel free to answer, infos, tips, anything
Nice evening guys.
it's pretty easy to do locally with a good file browser. I use resco, it's a paid app but it's great. map a drive like you would on a pc with your wireless connected to your local internet, as long as the drive or folder is shared on the host pc it works great. I can watch movies stored on my pc on my tp2.
as long as you have coreplayer set as the default mp3 or whatver player as well.

No, most all media players will have somewhere in their settings the option to set the player as the default handler for different media types (.mp3, .avi, etc). Whichever media player you use, just find those settings and make sure it's set to that for whatever media types you're trying to access over the network. That way, once you navigate to the files in resco file explorer, and click on them, that player should recognize them and open to play them.
To test it just open IE and type your networkpath as URL (\\your-pc\share\mp3) and the phone should open file explorer in the mp3 folder. select a file to play and coreplayer starts. If coreplayer isn't your default player the file will be played with WMP.
This should be usefull
hi there, how can i use my own mp3 ringtones and messages alerts?
Transfer them to notifications or ringtones folder on the phone. Then go into Settings > Sound and change the options under Ringtones and Notifications. If you want to use specific sections of an mp3, use Audacity to do so.
thanks but that works in a limit possibility. i want to use in other programs like mail, k9, facebook, etc and i cant get to use the mp3 choosing in other apps
Try "Rings Extended" from Market
Thanks I love this forum you ppl are great hehe

Is there a way to simply change the incoming calls ringtone to an mp3 file that is in my music folder or download folder? I can't believe I have to hook up to my PC and copy a file to the ringtones folder. The stock music player does not see to have an option to set the current song as a ringtone. Didn't this use to work in Gingerbread?

It works fine all apps are able to see the ringtones, notifications, and alarms folder on the root of the sdcard.

You can install ES File Explorer and if you want to change ringtone, you will have to choose between options: Android System and ES File Explorer. Also it's possible to set ringtone directly from app.

But I do not want to install any additional apps or hook up to a PC and copy a file to the ringtones folder. I have had several phones where all I had to do was locate the song and make it my ringtone. Did we lose this function? Why?
Use a file explorer and move ur content to the ringtones folder its that simple you might have to reboot tho

Apparently you do not understand. I am perfectly capable of copying a file. I simply do not want to have to take those extra steps. This used to be a simple process. You just either found a song in your player and chose an option to make it a ringtone or chose it as a ringtone for a specific contact. Now, your only choices are what is in the ringtones folder. Meanwhile, the music player can see it just fine in either the music folder or the downloads folder. This is a step backwards.

It is the stock player "Play Music".
Or you could try "tone picker" available from the store.

There is supposed to be a ringtone editor in JB, but not in mine. And I just got a Play Music app update yesterday and it is still missing.
Well what do you know..... they took it out of the list of JB features on the official site.

Patent issue perhaps?
Lots of people ask me the same things about "simply" adding an MP3 to the ringtones list... But, since Google Play Music arrives, the option disappear. It's good to know the AOSP Music App (really ugly application) has the option to use a Music as a ringtones, but when you install Google Play Music, this app disappear, so as the option you are searching.
In order to help you, I advice you to use a File Explorer Application (Solid Explorer for me) to copy/paste the MP3 on the ringtones folder, it's simple, and I think a file explorer app is a must have on the android world

I already have a file manager app. I was merely pointing out that the JB feature was removed.
Is there any way to separate podcast mp3s from Google music? My podcasts are infiltrating my artist list and recently played view.
I don't think so without changing the genre to podcast or something, though it won't get rid of it from the recently played list
Google does have it's own podcast app called Listen which is pretty old but works. You can dump also your already downloaded episodes to /sdcard/com.google.android.apps.listen/
Just an alternative
Is there a location I can store my podcasts where music spent search?

Put a .nomedia file in the folder where the podcasts are. You might meet to reboot afterwords.

also, if you use beyondpod there's an option to "share media miles" that's enabled by default. Unchecked it then clear user data for the media storage app and reboot/rebuild your library. Can't remember if there's an option like that on dogcatcher but ever since switching to beyondpod its the best podcast player in my opinion.

I added a blank .nomedia file using Root Explorer and rebooted, but when my feeds updated, they are all seen in Google Music.
I am using Doggcatcher at the moment.

I use doggcatcher too, and what I did was create a folder in the sd and named it .nomedia
I then moved all my podcast stuff there.
Make sure you go to doggcatcher settings and change the location of your podcasts to that location.
Next you need to go to app settings and delete all google music app data so it can rebuild it's cache and scan the sd card again.

I've seen some references to that online, but it doesn't seem to exist on my copy of BeyondPod (version 2.9.15). After going into Advanced Settings (which is hidden in a very WTF-esque manner), where it allegedly resides, there simply isn't a share podcasts / media files setting to be found.
Where do you find this beastie?

I know this is a really extreme solution but have you tried Pocket Casts? I used to be a huge fan of beyond pod also until I tried Pocket Casts. Its way more pretty and easy to use.

The thing with .nomedia files on ICS seem to work only after you clear the cache in manage apps-> all-> media storage
I switched to BeyondPod, which doesn't have this issue.
Thanks!

I second pocketcasts in terms of ease of use and appearance.
.nomedia file doesn't work with pocket casts, but creating .nomedia folder and moving podcasts there worked.

It's in 'Playlist and Widget Settings' these days.
I tried .nomedia and it didn't work for me. I use BeyondPod and PlayerPro now. It has a feature to only scan music from a certain folder.

how to Run Google Podcast without Google App?
i have disable Google App, when i try to open Google Podcast it says it requires Google App.
Please tell how to Run Google Podcast without google App.
Just got an M8 and noticed the HTC music channel on it--basically allows you to run the visualizations along with lyrics to any song you are listening to--be it through music player or Pandora, for example.
Daughter has my old M7 and I was wondering if it had the same option, sadly it didn't. But google is a good friend and here you go:
Step 1:
-Open ES File Explorer and make sure ES File Explorer has the right permissions. So from the sidebar, tap Root Explorer -> Mount R/W and make sure /system has RW permission.
-Open up default.xml from /system/customize/acc/.
Step 2:
Open the file (default.xml) with ES Note Editor, then scroll all the way to the end of the file to find the line that starts with support_music_channel. Change the value to true, save the changes, then reboot your device
name="support_music_channel">false</item> <---------------change to >true<, save file, then reboot.
After the reboot, open your Settings app and toggle on Music Channel. Now whenever you play a song through any music app, Music Channel will be activated and will display a visualizer along with the lyrics to your song, as long as GraceNote has it in its library.
Works but for some reason the on screen buttons don't respond
good to see that you fixed the button issue
option not showing up in settings.

Are you sure you typed it up right and, more importantly, saved the file?
Whatever you save must be exactly like this:
name="support_music_channel">true</item>

That's weird. .this is only what i could think of. .some songs might not get recognized by the gracenote database. .you could try playing the same song in the stock htc music player and see if you are getting the lyrics for that inside the stock music player itself. .also is there any option to update lyrics like there is in the stock player?it doesnt work with both wifi and mobile data?Also how did you guys get it to work. .the only thing to be changed is the support music channel parameter from false to true right. .maybe you could just check my screenshot in the previous post to see if everything looks alright. .Thanks!
Thanks for sharing!
I wonder what all the other flags are doing.. I guess there's no such thing as a description or any documentation of them is there?
