Pocket PC Journey - playing VoiceMessage.wav files

I just got this new Pocket PC--Cingular 8525; got the email setup.  On the way into work, I got a work voicemail.  No problem, this is a perfect opportunity (I thought) to see just how cool this is going to be.  I opened up the .wav file (it's a Cisco IP phone system), Pocket Media Player opened... and it wouldn't play the .wav file.  It said it was an unsupported file type.  Really?  a .wav? 

After getting to the office, (and after taking care of the voicemail), some google research, and a few attempts to get Media Player to work--I simply gave up and instead loaded TCPMP; and associated .wav files with tcpmp.  Now a work voicemail in my work inbox, which is simply an attachment called "Voicemessage.wav", if I tap the attachment; it downloads it, launches TCPMP, and it plays perfectly.

Windows Mobile plays .wav files without the need for Windows Media Player.  Its part of the "Notes" application.  Methinks it isn't a standard .wav file?

Hey Sherry,

What app did you use to change the file association.

Thanks,
