MP3 file problem - The system cannot find the file specified

[orbit9]

All of my MP3's are no longer associated/recognised by Windows Media Player nor any other music program. When i select an MP3 i get a message saying

"The system cannot find the file specified"

I have also tried to open with Core Player to no success. It's almost like the MP3 extensions have been deleted or changed somehow. I have tried opening the file with Resco and doing a open with but still does not work.

Can someone help restore MP3 playback?

When is that ? Do u have ur TP connected to the pc at that moment. because when yes and its mounted as a harddrive, the sd is not accessable from within the phone during that time.

no, even when it is not connected to a PC.

Is it something to do with reg keys?

Installed the File Explorer Extension cab and did the 'Open with' instruction and now plays with Windows Media sucessfully.

However, the file is still an unknown type and causing problems with TF3D and searching the phone for music + ading tracks to playlists/libraries as the MP3's are uknown file types.

Manged to sort this one!

It was a REG KEY problem.

Had to change this entry:

HKEY ROOT > .mp3 > default: mp3-file

to

HKEY ROOT > .mp3 > default: mp3dfile

All it was is that it was looking in the wrong folder with unset/undefined parameters and entries.

This worked perfectly. Thank you
