is possible to use mp3 as ringtone? or other soundformat or only midiare accepted? :roll:
Yes you can use MP3s as ringtones. Just copy the file to the /Windows/Rings folder.
you can use windows media and wave ....
.wma and .wav
Ah! ok many thanks!
you don't have to copy them to the rings folder
start photo contacts and the you can assign a ringtone, you can now choose al kinds of music files, also files that are on you storage card
saves space on your internal memory

I put my .mp3 ringtone at /Windows/Rings and set my ringtone to that MP3.
It should work, right?
:shock: But it always kick back to boring Windows Default !!!
I have to set it back everytime.
Any idea? :roll:
i m not that sure but i guess it can only use WMA or WAV ringtones
Try to transform your .mp3 into .wma (same quality / size)
try to make short ringtones, no more than 20sec.

jarmsk, I got my K-Jam the other day and placed some MP3 files into the rings folder to use as ringtones. Utilising MS Outlook, I have assigned MP3 tones to different people with no difficulty at all. Are you using Outlook or another PIM (such as Pocket Informant).
Sorry that I can not offer any advice on how to get it working on your device but I just wanted to let you know that it is possible and that it does work.
The ringtones that I assigned to each person in my contact, are working correctly.
The only problem is the ringtone that I assigned as the default ringtone.
I tried change convert from mp3 to wma but it always kick back to the original default ringtone.
I didn't use any other PIM just the one from the factory.
Any idea guys?

You got eg. pocket music installed?
Some programs is associate the MP3 as their default.
That can be the problem, just try to uncheck Mp3 in that kind of software..
notem screwed my mp3 ringtones up. uninstalled it but still windows default so converted them to wma and work fine now. had to reassign tone for each contact again.
is there a registry hack to revert things back?
mp3 ringtones for wizard
You can use it, no problem, I've tried my old magician mp3.cab file, it is working with wizard. Find it here, somewhere on magician forum.
Yes but why do we have to store our files in the Rings folder??
Any way to use the SD card? I have fifty or so ringtones, they take too much space if I place them all in the Rings Folder.
If you use the original explorer you can assign mp3 as your ringtone
just browse with the original explorer on your wizard to the mp3 file ...anywhere it doesnt mather
tap and hold on on the mp3 file.....in the drop down menu there is a selection for "set as ringtone"...when you select this, the file will be copied to the rings folder in windows. it also works for me by just copying them to the rings folder

that's exactly a problem. in my case i have gsplayer associated with mp3 files so mp3's as ringtones never work (only windows default ringtone). when i uncheck mp3 association in gsplayer, mp3 ringtones are working fine... now i'm converting ringtones into wma format as a workaround of this problem.
I was trying to change the ring tones and I have only a limited selection in the menu. I want to be able to put my own ring tones, and even mp3.
Thanks in advance

to change ur sms tones, put a wav file on the windows folder of your device. to put mp3's to be used as incoming call tones, place ur mp3's on the root of your my documents folder. u can also create a my documents folder on an external storage (sd) and put your mp3's there.. it will automatically detect in the sounds and notifications tab.
cheers mate
I forgot to ask... what about midi files, where should I put those.
Thanks
Oscar
i think that goes too for midi files. depends on where u want to use it. just follow my instructions above
What sounds do my music have ot be in to use as a sms notification sound aleart? and also where do i have to save them on my phone to work.
ive got mp3 to work as ringtones but i want some sound clips to use as sms sounds.
thank you once again for your help guys and girls
The sms alerts need to be .wav files and copied to your \windows folder or the root directory of the storage card
Have a look at the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271390&highlight=sms+alerts
when u say root directory of my storage card can u explain please thanx
The Root Directory is the highest level directory in your storage card. Meaning, drop the file inside your storage card, but not inside any folders within your storage card because the phone will not be able to detect them.
You can also try Pocket Ringo, which allows you to chose MP3 ringtones for your ringer and text messages, and allows you to customize ringtones for groups or individuals. Its a great program!
Hi, how to use wav or mp3 files as ringtone or message alert tone? My device is X01HT.
Have a nice day.

For notification audio, put the audio files into the \Windows\ folder (via ActiveSync or from the memory card via File Explorer). Ringtones need to go into \Windows\Rings.
Once the files are there you can just choose them from the dropdown lists in Sounds and Notifications.
I tried that and it did not work. I then looked at the properties of one of the built in alarm wavs. I converted my wav to the same bitrate, mono, 22hz and then it worked.

And what format (ie. wav) & bitrate is recommended for ringtones?

how cano play mp3's ive i get new sms sound tried to put the mp3 in the same folder as the other sound but it just dnt see it? can any 1 help
Use MP3 for SMS/alarms/events.... notifications
So for having a mp3.file as ring for incoming text messages you have to put the mp3.file in the windows directory on your device. Simply copy it from your Storage Card(or elsewhere) to your \Windows Folder.
The next step is to click on start->settings->Sounds¬ifications->Notifications->Choose your event(here: Messaging:New Text Message) and choose your ringtone which you copied to the windows directory in the upcoming list.
And that's it xD ... normally this works also for.wav and other music files ^^ xD
EDIT:
I encountered a problem with my method ... Windows doesnt not allow you to use .mp3 Files for Notifications as Sms/MMS/Events etc... You have to use .wav files instead of .mp3 files and copy the specific file into the windows directory. ^^
Useful INFOS:
Directory for ringtones and it has to be a .mp3 or.wav file -> Windows\Rings
Alarms, Events, Notifications etc have to be a .wav file -> simply copy it to Windows directory.
After that you should be able to acces and select the ringtone in the Sounds¬ifications menu.
So Hope this helps ^^ xD
Create a new folder in your Storage card. name it as My Documents. Put there whatever sounds you want (mp3, wav, wma, mid). Go to Start, Settings, Notifications and Sounds and you will have all these sounds available. Then choose the sound you want for text messages.
Happy New Year
Or something like that xD
found out why cheers checked file format was a nokia format acc cheers
i was looking for this for ages, should be added to wiki, under tweaks or tips, i dnt think any1 wants to use the phone storage for ringtones or any other tones.
