HTC Audio Manager cannot play associated MP3

[Termiter]

Hallo, I have problem with file association for HTC Audio Manager.

When I set .mp3 [audiomanager.exe "%1"] in Advanced Configuration Tool (File associations section ;)) and launch .mp3 file example from File Explorer, Audio manager run, but without playing. On screen is old mp3 file from previos playing...

When I set .mp3 back to [WMPlayer.exe "%1"] and launch some .mp3 file, Windows media player run and play .mp3 file which I select. It is correct.

I need to run .MP3 file and launch and play it with Audiomanager, not WMP.
Help me, please.

you don't need to associate mp3s unless you want to associate a certain program to play it while browsing in a file explorer.by default audiomanager will detect the mp3 in the library and should play it back with no issues

Thanks for replay. Unfortunately, I need to associate MP3 with Audio Manager.

I use pRSSread for downloading and managing podcasts. When I run podcast from this program (it is same like run from File Manager), only WinMedia play podcast correct. Audio Manager open itself, but do not play selected file, see my previous post. :-(

I want to play MP3 from pRSSread on Audio manager. This program is more comfortable, powerful volume, nice bar on HTC Home, display MP3 tags, ...

Is there anybody, who can run MP3 in file manager and Audio Manager open and play?
It is strange, that I am alone with wants of this function... ;)
Thank you!

Nope you're not alone. I just stumbled upon this thread searching for the exact same answer for the exact same reason... this problem is so freaking annoying. I'd rather have it launch into HTC's Audio Manager because I love the UI compared to all others players I've used. Plus I can turn off the display, and it keeps playing, if I could figure out how to make Windows Media Player do this instead of stop playing the podcast than I might settle for that as a work around.

Another annoying thing you may have noticed is it doesn't support PLS files either.

After trying to open an .mp3 file directly with audiomanager (using Resco Explorer) it stoped working.... Now it does open, but it skips all files in the library one by one, not playing even one of them.... whats happening??? any solution?

I fully agree with you... after hard resetting my P3300 Audio Manager is not able to find any titles to play! I spent a long time playing with playlist editors and trying to copy music files to almost every location but it still does not seem to work. I read it does not play files which does not have id3 tags and also it plays files only from device - not the storage card. Further analysis could get me the real cause of the problem but I am already exhausted. Any help guys? Do drop me a note please :)
