I am putting WMA and MP3 ringtones into the windows/ring folder of my i-mate (original like XDA2) but they just won't appear in the ringtone selection menu. They also don't have the option to "set as ringtone" when you press and hold on them. Any ideas anybody?
I have managed to get shortened mp3s in my ringtones but when the phone rings the tune has gaps in it - in time with the rings rather than just playing the tune.
Any ideas ?
What I have discovered is that if I encode the music into WMA but at a low bit rate, say 40kHz in mono, then it will work as a ringtone. Maybe the same could be true for MP3s?
Do they play as tunes or is there little gaps like a ring tone ?

Hi guys
Does anyone know if there is a limitation to what you can have as a ringtone?
I have done what *seems* right, it even plays on media player on the M1000 but I cannot get the wav to load in the "Add Ring Tone" section.
Does the file have to be some obscure wav format or no longer than say 20 seconds etc?
Has anyone come across this problem as well?
Cheers
Ben
it have to be good old std wav which is called PCM
not sure if there are any length issues
try
looking if it shows up in sounds and notifications
or make sure the file is places in windows or windows\rings or something like that
Ok - I have tried a standard PCM wav and it still doesnt like it! Also tried a short 1 second one and that doesnt work!
Confused? I am!!!
did you put it in windows ?
did you put it in windows/rings ?
did you try and see if you could choose it under sound and notifications insted there you can choose both phone rings and others
add ring tones are mainly used for adding wma's
Is it possible?
oyeah once you convert it to wav :roll: methinks

what are you talking about ? Jamin can use mp3's as ringtones - you don't have to convert them to WAV !!!
wav it's the only supported format for WM5?
And what about wma files in windows directory?
I don't understand guys....
I've mp3 file and I'd like to use it as ring tone end/or alarm sound.... can you explain me where I have to put it to be inserted in the sound and notifications list?
You can easily use an MP3 as a ringtone... all you have to do is put it in the folder: Windows/Rings and then you can select it for any of your contacts... alternatively, just click and hold on the MP3 and one of the menu choices is 'Set as Ringtone' this sets your general ringtone as the selected MP3.
Just one little comment: If you are using MP3 for ring make sure they are small (not several MB like normal music) or you will get a delay before you here the ring (maybe several tones long). There are two excellent free apps I found that let you mold your MP3's to ring size:
MPTrim: http://www.mptrim.com/ it will let you cat the length of the file and increase volume if needed.
Second:
http://www.mp3-converter.com/mp3_to_all_converter.htm not only will this let you reduce the bit rate to make the files smaller it lets you re-encode files to and from many different formats.
Final note: You can also use files stored in your SD root (if you have one) but they are very slow to load, and you can use the sound from WMV files without separating it from the video.

No Way!!
Clock alarm and SMS rings accept just wav files.Just put your wav files in Windows default folder
Many thanks guys! :wink:
Hi guys!
I've still a problem....
I justy put my mp3 in windows/rings dir but if I go to sound and notifications I can't see my mp3 in the list of rig tones...
I tryed soft reset too but the problem is still present.
I installed some sw like Photo Contact and Phone profiler ecc....
Now I have installed WMA Phone Profile and Photo contact (not Pro versione!). Is it possible that those sw can change some config on my Jamin?
Again. MP3 can ONLY be used as RINGTONES. They CANNOT be used for notifications (SMS, MMS, Clock,...).
To use MP3 as ringtones, you only have to copy them to the \Windows\Rings directory.
Enjoy!
Should be added that to select them go to:
Start->Settings->Personal->Phone
Ring tones
Curiouser and curiouser. After upgrading with Jester's 2.2 and installing Pocket Music, I cannot play mp3's as ring tones any more, but I can play .wav files. I can see them both, and both appear to open, but the mp3's are silent..... (both mp3's and .wav files are installed in Windows\Rings directory in this case). Last week the .mp3 files would play but not the .wav files!
.wav files installed in the Windows directory continue to behave as normal, appearing and opening as Notifications.
Can you still play MP3's with the built in WMP?
I suspect Pocket Music overwrote the codec for MP3 or screwed up the registry linking MP3 to it.
No idea how to fix this (short of hard reset though).
Yes, WMP still works just fine. No other impacts seen so far. So I'm happy enough, but would like to understand what happened.....
I tried putting an MP3 file in the Windows\Rings folder so it does show up as one of my ringtones in the phone options. But it doesn't play and my Windows default ringtone plays instead. There isn't a native capability for MP3 playing as a ringtone. So is there any way around this?? I know I can convert it to WAV, but the WAV file turns out to be 4MB compared to 300K as MP3!! Big difference especially if I want to assign dozens of ringtones for different contacts. Any suggestions?
The only thing i can think of is that maybe in your contact list you have the default ringtone set for individual callers. If not then i guess try to clear your data, maybe something you installed is making it go screwy.
Very easy .. Tap on the mp3 file and hold ... there is an option 'set as ringtone' All I use is MP3's as ringtones.
If what they said doesn't work then it might just be a problem with the mp3 itself. I think I had a problem like that with an mp3 once but I've had a whole lot of wav files not work even when they played fine on my computer. Unfortunately I don't know how to fix them so they will work other than to try downloading it again or downloading it from another source.

What are you running WM5 or WM6? I have found with WM6 that in the phone settings when you select a ring tone and exit out it automatically changes back to the default ring tone. If that is what's happening then there is a workaround. Just something to look for.
dont put the mp3 in any folder, that worked for me. i even tryed putting it in the ringtones folder but it wont find it when i select a ring tone.
Actually, I think what the o.p. is talking about is this;
Say you have a default ringer for all people. Default, or whatever. Go into your contacts, and edit one, placing a MP3 file as a ringtone (I guess you'll have to move it to windows/ringtones?). Now, if you highlight the file on the person's contact page, it should 'play' for a preview. Mine does not play. The ringtone I've set happens to be >5Megs. not sure if that matters.
So, setting individual ringtones for people doesn't seem to work. However, I have previously been able to assign a MP3 as a default ringtone for 'all' people.

I can't get this option if the MP3 is in MBs. The thing to do is copy the MP3 to My Documents and paste it under UA Contents. Go to phone settings where it says ring tone, scroll down the box, find your song, tap on it. It will pop up in the ring tone box. Be sure that the MP3 is associated with windows media player and no other you may have, otherwise it cannot be used as a ringtone. That's why I didn't get the option to set as the ring tone. The MP3 I tapped and held was associated with GS player, but that was easily solved.

Simply tap/hold/cut or copy the MP3 you're transferring from, go to windows/rings , and paste. The MP3 has been moved to the Rings folder.

Question: Why would you want to set a MP3 as a ring tone regardless of who's calling you? Are there any 30sec. MP3s out there because the longest you can listen is 30 seconds. MP3s eat up your memory in MBs that you might need to have at a later date. Why not download effects or tv theme ringtones as a suggestion only. You can download thousands, maybe more at www.polytones.net.....www.freemobilefun.net, or funformobile.com. You can download videos, music videos, other types of videos at www.mymobileclips.com. Free registration, and after registered no need to log in future visits. Check the box remember me each visit. On this website you can browse or search Metacafe, Dailymotion, Google, You Tube, etc. Select where you want to search from, type in the search box, ex: elvis presley, and videos about him will come up for downloading.
Google for Audacity. It's a ringtone creator that will cut an MP3 down to a usable size by allowing you to select just the part of the MP3 you want to use as the ringtone. It's also free.
is the a solution for higer volume on ringtone speaker becouse when i put a mp3 as my ringtone it is very quite even on 100% volume
thanks
Did you try with another MP3?
I don't have the problem.
I used to use a program called Power Audio editor to rip 30 seconds of an MP3, save as WAV or smaller mp3 for my old phone. With this sound editing program, you can highlight the sound wave and increase the volume by a certain percentage. Perhaps this might help for the creation of ringtones?

hello
i want to increase the sound of the ringtone when i have an incoming call, because i cant hear it, i have an mp3 song
i tried editing
HKLM/Software/HTC/AUDIOGAIN/EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME: 19 => 1000
HKLM/Software/HTC/AUDIOGAIN/RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME: 00 => 1000
and its the same .
what can i do?
thanks
Is only the ring tone (the one you are trying to use) low volume? everything else is plenty loud?
If so you might try re encoding the mp3 with higher volume..
There are various options how to do this depending on what software you have available to you.. But i am pretty sure you can Google up a solution

I always use audacity to amplify the mp3 past the clipping point. This always make any of my mp3 ringtones just as loud as the standard ones.
