could anybody here use midi ringtone on ppc2003
There was a thread a while back somewhere about using midi ringtones. I seem to remember you need to convert them from "regular" midi files to some sort of nokia format. I tried doing a couple of them - they didn't sound real great, but your mileage may vary.
Thank you Greg, I will try to find the old thread or else I will dig somewhere else in the internet. If I could find anything new I will let you know. Thanks again for your reply

i have found a fix for poly/midi ringtones for the wm2003 rom::
run the cab file from you device, and put the enclosed *.midi file in your ringtones dir, and one working midi/polly ringtone
ps the program i got from some site, so do not know anything about it as it was not in english(readme fil included in the installed cab dir). maybe some one can figure out how it fixes the problem so it does not need to be installed etc??
maybe it will work with a pcc2002 rom, i have not tried it
please let me know how you get on
The zip file appears to be corrupt
try it again, it should now work
The mimidi program is actually a MIDI player for the Pocket PC. It even works on PPC2002. The reason the included MIDI file works is because it has a different format type than regular MIDI files. This file will actually even play on WM2003 without mimidi installed. Try it.
I can say for sure that WM2003 supports MIDI ringtones, but the type of MIDI files are different. The supported MIDI files are very small compared to regular MIDI files. I am trying to do some more research into this.
Will let you guys know if anything turns up.
lol, I never even tried it before I installed that little program, as ppl in other posts said it was not working(midi) in the 4001 rom.
the midi file I included was a nokia 7650 polly. ring tone I just downloaded from the net
yeah your right If i remove the program, the file still works
correct me if I'm wrong, but the midi file sounds pretty bad when played from the phone app (the correct midi instruments do not load, ie piano & drums); the mimidi app sounds like it should (with 6-voice polyphony, anyway)
OK it was here earlier today, correct me if I'm wrong but where did the link go :shock:
Should be in the first post not present anymore.
E.
by the way, a newer version (v.1.0) of mimidi, can be found here:
http://www.pdasky.com/soft/5009.htm
cool little player btw.
now, how do your ringtones sound with the player, and from the phone app :?:
sorry had to remove my download
but yeah theres a newer version of the app out
Where is the Link :?:
Thanks,,,
Thanks,
Working well with some MIDI
Hi everyone,
After using the Siemen WM2003 ROM to upgrade my O2 XDA 1.
I was expecting to be able to use MIDI files as my ringtones.
But to my surprise, it didn't work! :x
I copied a few midi files to the "\Windows\Rings" directory, I can see that file from the ringtone option.
After I seleted it and click the play button, it just 1 short BEEP sound and that's it.
Anyone has this problem?
or anyone can help me with this please???
thanks all.
I have the same problem. I thought that WM2003 can't play MIDI files with many tracks (e: >6). I tried editing some files and make it with only 4 tracks but still no luck.
May someone post a good MIDI that works on his/her XDA to study it as an example.
Actually, XDA II running WM 2003 can play Midi files.
I've given the one I cannot play to my friend's XDA II and it worked there.
it must be something to do with the WM 2003 from Siemens... :roll:
anyone else have a clue? I am sure many guru here who can help us...
Yeah, I also find the same problem.

This problem isn't from the newest Rom's! It's just that the Xda1 plays 1 Chord "1 Instrument" by default. When you install the Program "Album" from IA Style you'll notice that the midi files are associated and they'll be playable very well, I just wish that someone makes changes in the driver which it will let us play midi files in the full instruments and set them as ringtones... I guess that needs a .dll files to be added to the ROM so hope we can make a progress.
But for whom they want to play Midis on XDA1 ,get the Old nokia ringtones the ".mid or from the .rtx or .txt " files ,convert it and play it you'll find it running perfectly like this one >>>>>>>>Dance Poly 1.mid
Yeah, that was my first notice when trying MMS Composer 1.6.9 ... maybe the driver will be installed in a newer WM2003 releases
great. the dance poly 1.mid worked in XDA I with WM2003 os.
there's another post here which has the midi cab file to be installed and that exactly what i did and now my xda I can play midi files... but, not all of them
and since im not a techie, i dont why it can play some and cannot play the others... can somebody enlighten us on this?
thanks a lot.

Dido,
The Poly 1.mid works fine without the MIDI56.sa.CAB file installed into your device bcz you got WM2003 and it's a 1 instrument Poly, but if you do what's written in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=46903#46903 all the midi files will work properly.
I did it and it's working like a charm with all the midi's instruments
Try this midi after you install the cab file into your device >>DJ_SAMY.MID<<
hi ramram,
hmmmm, we tried the DJ_SAMY midi file but it sounds quite distorted, i.e., when we play it on the PC (we use jetaudio) and listen to it on the PPC, the sound coming from the PPC is very different from the PC.
what gives? we installed the MIDI56.sa.CAB but the dj_samy is not quite good to listen byt the dancepoly is still nice.
thanks.

Hello Dido,
Man what do you expect from a PPC!! It doesn't have a speakers like the Pc thus computer midi instruments differs from our device. This Midi plug-in that what could output from sound and I'm so glad that we could hear polyphonic ringtones thanks for the updates they made in the Himalaya's.
I'll attach another ringtone for you hope you will like it.
Ps: While playing those ringtones my ppc don't sound distorted at all.
Another Midi ringtone
Try this as well I took it from the Nokia phone.
thanks guys.
we both tried rkelly and songette but for the latter we only heard beep beep
is there some properties for the midi files that would work for XDA I ?

Anyone here can convert mid to wav ?
i been trying to find software for my apple to do this, where i do not have access to a peecee i dont know how to do it.
If someone could convert these
http://www.m3nf.com/TLZone/ringtone.zip
I be so greatful, email me @ m3nf(at)m3nf.com
Your wizard should be able to play midi. You probably need to convert only those messages tone.
Update: Attached 2 message tones in mp3. Using standard sound card midi-wav.
Yes they work fine as ringtones, but i like to use them as message tones, but unable to convert them into wav for them.
I'll convert the files for you with professional instrument sound libraries (think a 2GB piano, for starters). Just give me a little time.
If I posted them as MP3s (to save space), would you be able to then convert them to WAVs?
Yes i have software for that so that would be really great, many thanks for your time
Done the first, AutumnSky...
The board won't let me post MP3s, so here
I'll be on vacation until Sunday, so I won't be able to get any more done until then.
Many thanks, i very greatful for your time.
midi 2 wav recorder
you can use this app, but it is not free
http://www.midi2wav.com
Thanks for the link, but as first post say i use a apple mac computer, so i am unable to use what most of you do .
Thanks again thou.
I have been looking all over the place and so far I haven't been able to find a solution anywhere. I want to use a music file (in .wav format) as a ringtone. I am able to select it from the drop down list, but when I press the test button, it doesn't play. I have read somewhere that in needs to be within a certain length. is this true? if so, it is a bit disappointing as I like to listen to my ringtone for a bit before answering my phone. Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

have you tried converting it to an MP3?
Now it works. I changed it into an mp3 file and put it into my documents. for some reason it wouldn't play it from my ringtones folder as an mp3 or a .wav and I couldn't figure out what the problem was.I put it into my documents and now it works. thanks for the reminder though. I kind of gave up on trying to use mp3's.
Hey guys and galls...
I've got a strange problem with my wizard..
I've got some mid files selected as ringtoned for some contacts..
Now all of a sudden since 2 days, my Wizard (WM5.0) stopped playing them..
If I select a mid file in Windows Media Player Mobile 10, it just says:
"The source filter for this file could not be loaded"
Does anybody now what the problem is?
It looks like some kind of plugin is gone missing..
It's really a bummer, since I got lots of people assigned to different Midi files as ringtones..
If I copy the midi files to normal pc, they play properly, so the files aren't corrupted...
The files also show up in the contact section where you can selct the ringtone, they just don't play anymore...
I did a search here, and on google, but if you type in mid, or midi not playing, you just get so much results, and I can't seem to find an answer
Can someone help me fix this problem please???
Pretty please with cherry's on top??
Thank you for your effort!!!
Filter??
It looks like I'm missing some kind of a midi plugin, or filter..
It seems that one midi is playing, although it is pretty distorted..
Does anyone have this filter or plugin for me??
Please help me out here...
Thanks.....
I'm having the same problem with the same equipment. Still using the factory ROM of WM5 as well. Been digging quite a bit and haven't found anything about it yet.
One thing that I found between us that is different is that mine does play the files in WMP. It still will not play them in the ringtones for the individual contacts though. Weird......
try this cab from Helmi... don't know if it will help...
