XDA2: No sound when used as ringtones?

Hi
Edited a WAV file and stored in my storage card. It plays OK in my XDA2 but when I tried to use it as a ringtone for the phone, it does not play any sound other than some clicking noises.
Please help.

make sure your wav is PCM.. xda II doesnt support all formats of wav.

Is there a utility to convert this to PCM WAV format? Thanks.

To convert WAV file so will play on XDA2, use the windows utility Sound Recorder: sndrec32.exe
Open the wav file in Sound Recorder.
Click File -> Properties
Click Convert Now button
Change Format combo to 'PCM'
Change Attributes combo to 11.025KHz, 8 Bit, Mono
You don't really need more than that as XDA2 doesn't play stereo.

Can anyone tell me how to set MP3 as ringtone?

Is there a software out there which would enable this to be done?
Thanks

Ringtone formats available on XDA2 are .mid .wav and .wma
MP3 is not supported.
.wma does the same job, but at slightly smaller file sizes...
Third party software would be unlikely to help, as base OS support is what governs what can be used.

Thanks

There are loads of freeware converters on the net to turn your MP3 into a WAV or WMA.

ring tone file format?

hi
i have just put some MIDI files on my xda mini, which play just fine with some of that integrated windows software.
unfortunately i cannot use them as ringtones. (i have put them in /windows/rings, where i found that o2 custom ringtone)
i think its simply the file format thats ignored by my magician.
what file formats are readable for the magician (wm 2003 in general?) for ringtone usage?

wav, wma & mp3 shouldn't give you any probs. when you put them in the rings folder. Use mp3 patch to be able to select mp3 files as ringtone with file explorer.

I'm using *.mp4 for ringtone.

What do you use to play them? Caller id?
Nice tag too.

I have converted from *.mp3 to *.mp4 using nero 6.1.Then I download TCPMP player and many plugins.After that I found that I can use the *.mp4 for a ringtone.That is! :wink:
Thank you for the tag...

Ok,
I got Nero & TCPMP, so going to try it out. I use oldphone for ring, but very curious whether this works.
M

yes its very bad.My ringtone now is Elize - Automatic.
Do yo know about the *.mp4 format?When not I tell you!

I use it for film, not for music. 'till now

it plays very very good the songs.About the *.mp4 format.It is smaller then the *.mp3.Normal the mp3 is about 4-5Mb and the mp4 is 1-2.With the same bitrate like mp3.That is.
Regards

No either with audio manager or windows media,
there is any codec for audio ?

WM6 Media Player .wav error

Hi all,
Anyone has come across an issue that WM6 Media Player can't play certain .wav files? How can fix this bug (if it is a bug)?. I have an answering service and they send my messages to my phone by email in .wav file and I can't open it with WM6 Media player error:Unrecognized file type. Any suggestions?
Thanx,
Genek

No one really has a clue?

Have you pulled the files from the phone and tried to play them on the computer?
Remember, .wav is just a 'container' for a sound file, the actual encoding could be just about anything (PCM, MP3, MPEG2 Audio, etc).

WM6 and .WAV
.WAV is not a native windows file. For this reason you are unable to play them on and WM PPC. You need to download either a player that will decode WAV or install a Codec to play .WAV files. .WMA is the default windows audio file.
Pain I know - but I think it has something to do with MS not wanting to pay for licensing for .wav playback.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong =)
