how to make .ogg as ringtones?Any patch like SetMp3ToRingtone?????
I think it's not possible. Not with OGG.
There are some tools allowing to play various ringtone formats for HTC devices.
I think that the easiest way is to convert your ringtone to some standard format.

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.
I have audio files of various formats which I wish to use clips from as ringtones. I notice that the preset ringtones are WMA format, & try making the file I wish to use into a WMA, yet my Xda2 still does not show it on the ringtones list.
What must I do to make an audio file on my desktop PC into a ringtone for my Xda2?
there is a program in the settings section system tab called "add ringtone" you can use that or if all else fails you can put your WMA file directly in the directory "My Pocket PC/Windows/" in your XDA.. then try looking at your ringtone list.. it should be there..
Neither work. ;_; The file is currently in windows, & add ringtone does not show it.
some people report that the xda's cant play all bitrate wma's try to see if you can play them on media player

convert your .mp3 or any other audio file using dpoweramp converter its freeware and then copy that .wma to \mypocketpc\windows\rings and paste it there, and then just open sound and notifications on your pda and select incoming call and choose that .wma that you pasted IT SHOULD WORK FOR SURE !!

or if all else fails, instead of converting your mp3's to wma, why don't you just convert it straight to wav format? that way you won't have any problems.. because one problem with the wma format ringtones is if you use it for the sms alert once it rings it wont stop (since it is long) even if you click on everything.. which sucks big time.. while in wav you can easily cut the song to the part you only want with alot of different wav editors..
Ring Tones.
Hi there,
I have an XDA II and I hv tried this great progrm Ringtone X this is available for download / purchase at www.mtux.com not only u can use wma files but also wav and midi files to set as ring tones. U can also set ring tones by group / individual contact or by phone No. great program. try it.
Success. ^_^ Realised the 'add ringtone' option didn't detect the WMA file, so used a WAV, then found the directory 'Rings' in Windows, & switched it for the WMA again. Found out it doesn't like mp3 files for ringtones, & that any files with foreign characters in their names (eg Japanese, etc) will not transfer.
Thank you all for the help.
Help is my middle name... heehee
The easiest way to get them working is to drop a wma into the rings folder, they should appear in the drop down from phone options after doing so (you will have to exit the options page if you had it open whilst transferring the file).
Any good sound editing program (nero wav editor, audacity, av music morpher) should allow you to load your file up, chop and change it and then save out as a wma. Try lowering the quality slightly to bring the file size down even further(wma should be a lot smaller than wav).
As for other sound notifications on the Xda, just drop a wav file into the Windows folder to add it to the appropriate drop down.
well i agree WMA is slightly lighter than WAV.. but if you're not too familiar with audio editing better use WAV and edit it with Audioblock as it has an easy interface or if you are an advanced user and wants to cut WMA better use Adobe Audition or the newer versions..
Is there anywhere to amend the wizard's registry to allow it to use MP3's for the notification sounds. Wav files are massive files and take up alot of room which i dont currently have.
eversince I've been using PPCs it has always been wav for notifications. i sometimes see apps that use mp3s for alarms but these are for the alarm only [other notifications are not included]. you may want to re-encode your wavs into a smaller bitrate. iirc you can use sound recorder [on any windows pc] and save the wav as PCM 16bit. you can also chop up the wav files using sound recorder.

I've still not found a way. I would not think it possible via reg hack, mainly due to MS's own ADPCM / IMA compression on the wavs not working. Plain old PCW uncompressed only, anyway check out that thread and let us know if you make any progress.
is there anyway of changing the sms tone to something that isnt the standard boring ones in the list - like an mp3 or wav file?
Copy your .wav file to /windows
Then go to Settings, Sounds & Notifications
Click on the Notifications tab at the bottom.
Under Event drop down choose the event you want to change the sound to.
I personally never had luck getting mp3's to work for notifications. Only wav files.
Good luck.
what is the settings you all use for this to work with wav? I have converted a ringtone to wav and saved it at 8k 41000 to make the file as small as possible. and its not playing. it plays in media player but wont play as a sms tone.
Yeah, I couldnt get it to work eitherand I used quite a few different formats. Have managed to get ring tones installed no problem, jus the sms tones I cant seem to add to.....
Am using an O2 XDA Mini S, default ROM (with a few registry hacks and apps installed)
Any help is appreciated
they have to be 16 bit 44khz wav files to work as sms tones. use the excellent (free)audacity audio editor to convert

will try that. i might have missed that setting.
Ok I am trying to get some custom message/MMS tones and I have been searching the forums for the past hour and a half. All I have gotten is convert your tone to wav and stick it in the windows folder.
I've done that and it still wont work, so I was wondering if there were any special settings that I need to save the wav file with so it will work. I've tried many ways and different combinations but I'm hoping that someone would know better than I do. Thanks for any help!
I think you want to save them to Windows > Rings.
The folders for ringtones etc are;
\Application Data\Sounds\...
\Windows\Rings\...
or\My Documents\My Ringtones\...
All of these folders are checked depends on the type of sound ie , I use a simple mono 8bit wav file to save file space for sms text etc, MP3s or WMAs (smaller files) for ring tones and MIDI files for alarms.
