Mobile Windows Media Player and WAV files
 

I now get my voicemails converted to an email with the actual voice mail as attachment in the email; the attachment is a WAV file. When I download the attachment (either in the email or on the storage card), it shows with the Mobile windows media player icon - however when I trying to play it, the Windows Media Player opens up - but I get a "An invalid media type was specified" error.

Questions are:
1. Am I missing something on my phone (a fix, codec, etc, hack).
2. If I am not missing anything then I assume I would need to download a player and associate the WAV file to that program? If that is so, anyone have suggestions for a player.

PS: The WAV file plays fine when I read the email from my desktop or transfer the file to a desktop.

Thx

tcpmp, coreplayer, s2p all should play it

Thanks.... do you (or anybody) know why WMP won't play WAV files on the handset?

I had the same issue on my Treo 700wx, I just ended up installing Coreplayer.

Is there anyway to change it so that one of these applications become the default player for .wav files as opposed to media player?

Yea check the boxes for file associations you want it to play. menu/tools/settings

I rip all my CDs to wav and then sync to my player with WMP using the custom high settings. This produces wma files that are very high quality running 600-800kbps. No need for additional player, etc..

Dare you to tell difference between these files and originals....
