View Full Version : No MP3 ringtones when WMPlayer not default player!

I've encountered a little problem. I'm using PocketMusic as my default player because it sorts by track number (unlike the built in media player), and thus the filetype .mp3 is associated with it. However, if I try to assign an mp3 as my default ringtone, it firstly won't let me preview it, and secondly, it reassigns the default ringtone when I press ok. However, if I remove the file association from PocketMusic, then it works fine again.

I suspect that the audio notifications engine must run on the built-in Media Player and that this cannot be changed.

Is anyone using another media player and having the same problems?

Yep, I have seen this installing any other media player that want to take over the default file associations. Don't let them associate or you won't get any ringers =[. I also suspect that Windows Media Players shares the 'engine' for ringers.

same here, does anyone have a solution to make pocketmusic not a default player?
