S22: Player Does Not Recognize File

[Mark Yarbrough]

I just got the Galaxy S22. All my files & apps were transfered over from a Note 9. The player on my S22 does not recognize the Note 9 ring tone files. What can I do to get them to work on my S22?

Welcome to Android Central! What directory were the ringtone files transferred to? Is it /Ringtones?

Yes, they are in the same folder along with all the Galaxy ring tones & a few custom ones I just down loaded which work fine. Most of them are from way back, downloaded from my Note 4, & a few from my IPhone 6, 1 of them as far back as my IPhone 3.

if they are .wav files, they won't work. beginning with the S21 family, .wav files no longer play on Samsung devices, absent a 3rd party app, like VLC. (which sucks, btw)

I looked in my audio files folder & brought up the details. They are .wma files, or that's what it reads at the end of the titles.

.wma works the same...Windows Media

You could always convert the WMA file to MP3 using a website like this one: https://cloudconvert.com/wma-to-mp3
