I have the Moto Q (WM5 smarthphone) and am unable to open WAV email
attachments. I have no problem opening mp3 email attachments. Am I missing
something? Thanks.

two possibilities...

first make sure that the file association is correctly set so a wav
player will run when a wav file is launched

next... on the assumption that the files you are talking about are
voicemail wav's, know that the cisco wave encoding used by some of the
most common voicemail systems does not have a ppc codec option... to
find out what the codec being used is, use file explorer on a pc to find
one of the files, then rightclick on it and open properties/sumary and
check the audio format.

Thanks Beverly. You're right, it is a voicemail wav with unsupported
encoding. So here's my current issue. I've now downloaded a player that
supports this type of file. Do you know of any way to associate this player
with all wav files so that Windows does not attempt to open the file in
Sound Player?

I can't seem to figure how to change file associations in WM5.

Thanks for the help.

First, I'm not a smartphone person, but there are a number of "tweaks"
programs which will set file associations on the ppc platform, so
suggest googling for SMARTPHONE TWEAKS as that yields a number of results.

I also have the same device and problem.
I would like to know if MS plans on making ADPCM codecs for windows media
player available, and if not if you know if there is freeware that plays
ADPCM voicemail file and where it can be downloaded. Thanks!
