I have it set to play a custom MP3 alarm sound

Seeing the error, that's the most important information here. In which directory do you keep this MP3 file?

[GregoryBoston]

The MP3 is saved on my phone's internal storage, not my SD card but the phones storage. In the download folder.  After I saw your question I tested the alarm with the basic sound and it did work. To be honest I snagged this app specifically because it allowed me to play a custom alarm ( without raping my privacy) Gregory  Yahoo Mail: Search, Organize, Conquer On Sun, Feb 16, 2025 at 4:09 PM, Agnieszka ***@***.***> wrote: I have it set to play a custom MP3 alarm sound Seeing the error, that's the most important information here.

I have a few more questions:

1. Can this file be played in other non-system apps?
2. Do you have a .nomedia file in the same directory as the audio file?
3. If you copy this file to another directory outside downloads, e.g. Music, does it work?

1. Yes the file works in every other media playing app that I try on. 2.  Yes, the file is located in my phones download folder- which has tons of different files, many of which are non-media. 3. I moved the file to the music folder on my SD card, it works in the Foss alarm.  This resolves my issue- but I would still like to help in any way I can for the general problem to become resolved.   Thank you for your efforts on this
