Trying to add some new wave sounds for my incoming text messages. Have copied some small wav sounds into the windows directory along with the standard ones and although they show up in the list of available sounds they dont make a sound when clicked on to play. The strange thing is if you click on them in file browser they play in wmp. Anyone else had this ?
nope, sorry - i've added loads and they work fine...
I just try a few different ones then to see if they work. Just thought someone else might have had this prob as well.
i had a deferent kind of problem, i have a wav file which plays well on my pc, but when i add it to my kjam it doesn't play even through the wmp
Sussed it. Although when you moved the pointer over the file it came up in windows as saying wav file, when you checked the properties it was actully an mp3 file.
Downloaded some actual pcm wav files and they played fine.
Looking for some really good " New message " type wav files. Anyone know of any good sites ?

i have found a fix for poly/midi ringtones for the wm2003 rom::
run the cab file from you device, and put the enclosed *.midi file in your ringtones dir, and one working midi/polly ringtone
ps the program i got from some site, so do not know anything about it as it was not in english(readme fil included in the installed cab dir). maybe some one can figure out how it fixes the problem so it does not need to be installed etc??
maybe it will work with a pcc2002 rom, i have not tried it
please let me know how you get on
The zip file appears to be corrupt
try it again, it should now work
The mimidi program is actually a MIDI player for the Pocket PC. It even works on PPC2002. The reason the included MIDI file works is because it has a different format type than regular MIDI files. This file will actually even play on WM2003 without mimidi installed. Try it.
I can say for sure that WM2003 supports MIDI ringtones, but the type of MIDI files are different. The supported MIDI files are very small compared to regular MIDI files. I am trying to do some more research into this.
Will let you guys know if anything turns up.
lol, I never even tried it before I installed that little program, as ppl in other posts said it was not working(midi) in the 4001 rom.
the midi file I included was a nokia 7650 polly. ring tone I just downloaded from the net
yeah your right If i remove the program, the file still works
correct me if I'm wrong, but the midi file sounds pretty bad when played from the phone app (the correct midi instruments do not load, ie piano & drums); the mimidi app sounds like it should (with 6-voice polyphony, anyway)
OK it was here earlier today, correct me if I'm wrong but where did the link go :shock:
Should be in the first post not present anymore.
E.
by the way, a newer version (v.1.0) of mimidi, can be found here:
http://www.pdasky.com/soft/5009.htm
cool little player btw.
now, how do your ringtones sound with the player, and from the phone app :?:
sorry had to remove my download
but yeah theres a newer version of the app out
Where is the Link :?:
Thanks,,,
Thanks,

THANKS ALOT MASTER.
IT WORKS VERY WELL.
Not working for me. Installed, no error messages, but I still can't use mp3's as ringtone. Actually in file manager mp3's are not associated with any programs. Could someone give any help?
you dont need anything to set a .mp3 as a ringtone, just place the mp3 file in the rings folder under windows and go to the tone selection screen and it will be there.
PLACE MP3 FILE IN FOLLOWING FOLDER
\\My Device\Windows\Rings
then do this
Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications(on bottom)
Then Event:.. scroll down to Phone: Incoming Call then tap the drop down box by ring tone and it will be there.
There should deffinately be a FAQ sticky for this kinda stuff

So it can't be done without placing the mp3 in the ringtones directory? In deed it's not working for me that way either. I can see the mp3 on the list, but after choosing and pressing an OK, it sets itself back to windows default. Actually I can't use anything else than windows default. I'm really getting mad, plz help! Where is the file associations menu? Maybe there's some problem there. This thing is messed up since I've installed and uninstalled winamp...
Work great on wm2005 1.60b
Man i dont know is if its the program or the windows itself..but under the settings of notifications all my mp3 is listed ..which i never knew!...this is GREAT!

It would appear that by default mp3 ringtones are allowed, however once you install a third party app to play mp3's (you mention winamp) you lose the ability to use them(it seems that the Media player engine is used for this).Uninstalling the app makes no difference, you then have no mp3 player because the mobile version of windows does not restore the file association. The best way round this that I have found is to simply use an audio app (Nero wave editor in my case) to convert/edit the mp3s to wma. This has the bonus that most mp3 tracks are too long for a ringtone (how many phones ring for 3-4 minutes without kicking in the answering service ?) so when you convert you can also reduce the length.
I cant comment on the set ringtone cab posted here, never tried it, it may work
HTH
I am able to install the cab file without any error message but still can't use mp3's as ringtone. The mp3 file appears in the Sound and Notification drop down list, but whenever I select the mp3 file and try to play, it doesn't play and return back to Windows Default ringtone. Can anyone tell me that what is the problem?

The same problem I have. Also I don't think so that the easiest way to solve it is to convert each of my mp3's to wma or whatever. Somehow there should be a way to restore the file associations. Maybe if someone would have a media player to install (re-install) that could solve it. The problem is that I've also lost my former ringtones.
Have a look at this thread here. Ive just downloaded the files but not tried em yet. Seems to be able to restore file associations so that WMP becomes your default player. This should then allow you to use mp3's as ringtones

GO TO START/SETTING/PERSONAL/PHONE (AND SELECT YOUR MP3 FROM THERE).
CHEERS,
YAARUB
So the file associations are normal again, thx to your help. But how can I set an mp3 as ringtone which is stored on the sd card other than copying it to the ringtones folder as it takes far too much space from the main memory? The settings-ringtones does not find the mp3 files either on the sd or in the system memory, only wavs and mids.
@Szilu
I'm afraid there is no other choise but to copy the mp3 ringtone to the main memory.
Im sorry
That's a pity. Anyway can you suggest any programs then to cut mp3's to smaller pieces? As 4 minutes is far too much thus the size can be shrinked. THX for your kind help.
Try "Sound Forge", But im not sure if it support mp3 files or .waqv only, their you can cut the file to small pieces.
good luck.
I have added bunch of MP3's to my storage card at the root level. 2 things are happening that are real weird.
1. They show up in the ringtone list but will not play.
2. When you go directly to file and try to launch and error pops up that reads. "the file can not be opened. either it is not signd with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore the file." The wierd thing is if I pull it into WM player it works just fine. I only get this error when I try to open the file directly which I blieve if this is corrected my ring tones will work again.
Thanks for you help

You tried putting these in the 'ring tones' folder to see if you have the same problem?
yep same problem there. I hate to do a hard reset, but i'm running out of ideas.
Sorry if it's a silly question but are you sure they're mp3 format, not aac or wma or something else?
i double checked and they are mp3.
Have you installed a 3rd party application that is registered as the default player for MP3? if yes - you need to make WMP the default player back.
how do I make it the default again?
I to am having the same problem....... My mp3 ringtones were working fine until I downloaded Pocket Music and all my mp3's were converted to pocket music. I tried to convert them back to WMP by using RESCO file explorer. I would "play with" and choose WMP and get an error saying "The System cannot find the path specified." Of course im no the most technical person, so if anyone can explain that and tell me what I need to do to fix the problem I would realy appreciate it.
Thanks
Ring Tone
I'm having a similar problem (Wizard). The ONLY ring tone that will play is the Windows Default. It won't play MP3, WAV or WMA, whether it's in the Windows root, the storage card root, the Ring Tones directory or the Rings directory.
At least the Windows Default will play otherwise I wouldn't have ANY ring tone.
Update: In another thread someone said change the associations in Pocket Player. Well, I don't have Pocket Player but I DO have BetaPlayer. I dropped the mp3 association and the WAV and WMA associations and the ringtones are working again!
I have the same problems with mp3 files as ringtone. I even delete the GSPlayer from the PPC...and still the same error. I try moving it directly to the ringtone folder...still no luck...
Can anyone help?

Do the Mp3 have to be in a particular codec or bit rate to work? Some of mine work. Some don't and I've noticed the ones that I've made myself are the ones that don't work...oh and some trekker ringtones I downloaded
Same here.
I removed all of the file associations with BetaPlayer and I am still having problems. I have a program called PocketTweak that lets me actually assign associations, but I cannot see all of my program files.
Let me know if anybody finds a resolution to this ... or if you know how to see all of the files so I can start associating WMPlayer to them. I have a feeling if I can figure that out, the ringers will start working again. But I could be wrong ...
Kangle
I found a fix for me.
I also have GSFinder. I used that to look at my file extensions and noticed that the file extension mp3 was gone, even though it appeared in my PocketTweak program. I added the extension mp3 and chose Windows Media file as the program to open it.
Then I went back into phone settings and presto. MP3 ringtones are now playing again.
Hope this helps some of you. I think installing PocketTweak somehow messed it up b/c it was working fine before then, even after installing BetaPlayer.
However, I did change some associations with BetaPlayer last night b/c I had a problem saving internet radio stations links to my PDA b/c BetaPlayer would automatically launch/open the stream as opposed to giving me the option to save. I wanted to save them b/c I use GSPlayer to listen to audio. So there is also a possibilty that I changed something last night that caused it not to work today. Oh well ... again, I hope this helps some of you.
I suppose the solution is really simple, but i still havent succeeded in doing this. How do i add my own sounds for messages?
Changing ringtone is really simple, just add the mp3 file or whatever to folder ringtones. But ive tried to put my sounds for messages everywhere, but i still just can choose from the default sounds.
Cant the p3600 play mp3 files for sms and stuff?
/Jakob
I don't know if you can use mp3, but try setting it on 'setting panel' saound & Notify
Put the fileon windows dir.
BTW try with wav files it work
I fixed it now.
The problem was the name of the file plus format. I changed format to wav but it still didnt work. Then i renamed it from "xxx - xxxxxxxxxxx.wav" to just "xxxx.wav". Now it works. Thx.
/j
there are several WAV formats, can i use all of them?
there is one WAV format that can really compress like an MP3.
did anyone try it?
Program for it
You can probe Ringo Ringtone program. Works easy with the Trinity. Is from Electricpocket Company.
Hey guys and galls...
I've got a strange problem with my wizard..
I've got some mid files selected as ringtoned for some contacts..
Now all of a sudden since 2 days, my Wizard (WM5.0) stopped playing them..
If I select a mid file in Windows Media Player Mobile 10, it just says:
"The source filter for this file could not be loaded"
Does anybody now what the problem is?
It looks like some kind of plugin is gone missing..
It's really a bummer, since I got lots of people assigned to different Midi files as ringtones..
If I copy the midi files to normal pc, they play properly, so the files aren't corrupted...
The files also show up in the contact section where you can selct the ringtone, they just don't play anymore...
I did a search here, and on google, but if you type in mid, or midi not playing, you just get so much results, and I can't seem to find an answer
Can someone help me fix this problem please???
Pretty please with cherry's on top??
Thank you for your effort!!!
Filter??
It looks like I'm missing some kind of a midi plugin, or filter..
It seems that one midi is playing, although it is pretty distorted..
Does anyone have this filter or plugin for me??
Please help me out here...
Thanks.....
I'm having the same problem with the same equipment. Still using the factory ROM of WM5 as well. Been digging quite a bit and haven't found anything about it yet.
One thing that I found between us that is different is that mine does play the files in WMP. It still will not play them in the ringtones for the individual contacts though. Weird......
try this cab from Helmi... don't know if it will help...
