Can the Universal Play mp3 or wma files as ringtones thru the standard contacts application? I see where to assign ringtone but my wma tones are not shown. I placed them in a folder in the mydocuments folder in the internal memory. Do they need to go into a different folder? Or do I have to use a third party application?
Also, in WM5 I dont see a Windows folder when I select Explore thru active synch. In WM2003 inside of the Windows folder I had a Favorites folder. I am looking for this folder to copy and paste a few links I saved on my PC from my Jam.
Thank you for your help!

Sorry, I figured it out. Ill leave the post just in case someone else runs into this problem. I had my file settings to not show hidden files. Changing that to show all files I now have the Windows folder. The ringtones go into the windows\rings folder and under windows there is the folder for favorites.

If you have MP3 or WMV files go to the option of the file u we be able to set that file as ring tone... Windows automatically copy that file in to Ring folder and shows u in ring tone list for u from Phone.

hello guys and girls

Or you can change the registry to read from Storage card folder, but the fastest way is in window/root folder.
Or you can use soft for assigning tone to sms
I tried to add a ringtone from Start - Settings - Sounds - Add Ringtone; but I don't see any music files in the list and there is no option to browse. Only a dropdown folder list is there.
Please guide.
Thanks.
Tap and hold music file in file explorer, choose "set as" (not sure about translation) and choose what event you want to assign it to.
Or you may copy the ringtone files into the folder \My Documents on the storage card. Then they will be found.

For the life of me i cant figure how to install ringtones! can anyone help me please?
create a folder, named 'Ringtones', in your microSD card, and put your music files in there.
The phone only read and extract ringtones from that particular folder =D

what about alarm clock ringtones
can i do the same or shall i create another folder?!
You can also set them through Mediascape. Just press options once a track OS selected and you will now have the option to set as ringtone.

Yep, once you set as a ringtone it will always be available on your list after that so you can switch back and forth without having to open the folder again.
P.S. you can put them in any folder you want to, you don't have to name it "ringtones"
i was wondering is it possible to do so because ihavent been able to find away to do it noir have i found anything on google that talks about it been trying get help with this all night someone plzzzzzz HELP! i dont want to go back to winmo just because i cant have text msg ringtones....
What I did to change mine was,
1 convert the file to .wma format
2 rename the file to Alert-05 (or 01 ,02 etc) (it needs to be Alert-## otherwise it won't be found it settings)
3 copy it to the windows directory using touchXplorer
4 select it using settings ...
there must be a better way but it worked for me, hope it works for you.
As neilarmes said.
Think that this is the only way to get custom alert tones and does work for custom ringtones as well. You have to bear in mind that when you rename the .wma file and move it using touchXplorer, it will overwrite an existing WP7 alert tone as you I don't think you can add extra tones.
Using the above method you can however add mp3 files to your ringtones folder to have custom ringtones. Would just advise not to have too much music synced to your device as the file names in the Zune folder don't immediately lead you to the file you're after.

Note about ringtones...all ended up doing is copying my custom ring tones (in mp3 format) using Zune as if they were music transfers. After syncing, go into the My Documents\Zune folder, I believe, and using TouchXplorer copy your ringtones to the My Documents\My Ringtones folder. After some lag in time, your customer ringtones will appear in your selection list. No conversion to WMA needed for ringtones.
As for the SMS sounds, I was about to try converting my mp3 notification files into WMA then renaming it Alert-11 through whatever, the copying it to the \Windows directory. Alert-01 thru 10 are already present. Going to see if naming the file other than Alert-xx.wma will work as well.
How do make the tones useable on the text messages and other notifications. Thanks

I jsut tried "Alert-VM" and "Alert-TXT" but no dice. Also tried Alert-11 and Alert-12 to no avail. Time to rename the default guys and overwrite w/ the new ones!
I can't seem to open any app that will let me search for files, and they don't show up in the "music" folder that I get when I try to press the + in the ringtones folder.

I moved the files I wanted to use as ringtones into the Ringtones folder. (It's possible I actually wound up creating that folder as well, but I don't recall now.) I don't believe I've had issues with any app not letting me navigate to that folder to set a ringtone if the contents of that folder did not show up by default.
There are three files on the internal \ sdcard: Alarms, Notifications and Ringtones. These are empty on initial setup. You can put files in those folders and they will then appear in the drop-down list in the dialogues for setting, respectively, Alarms, Notifications and Ringtones.
