Well, the subjects says nearly everything :
Did one of you guys notice that when the lid is closed, a 16 tracks midi ringtone would play like crap, whereas it's just playing ok in WMP (lid open of course)?
The strange thing : the midi file IS used, but it seems that only a few tracks are used...
Also, any of you has an idea on how to have the Universal use a midi file for a notification ? Can't understand why we should be bound on WMA or WAV.

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
can anyone tell me is there a function or software to make it possible for Mp3 to be as a ring tone?
I convert all my ringtones (MP3 and WAV) to WMA using Sound Forge 7.
They get really small and remain very good soundquality.

Converting to WAV is a bad idea
Convert the mp3 to WMA (Windows Media Audio) , U will conserve the quality , less file size and u can set a .wma file as a ringtone !
Recommended software: MP3 to All Converter
Oggi,zimo4321,thanx,
but plz. give direct links to download on of these programs.
google knows best

http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/
this is the best tool i've come across and it's opensource
Forget paying for Soundforge - use dbPowerAmp - it's free and integrates into the shell
Transcoding will result in quality degradation, but not in so far as you'd notice it as a ringtone

ok,where can i download(link) dbPowerAmp :?:
How about using using Windows Media Encoder which is a free download and has pre-defined settings for encoding for use on PocketPC etc?

Has anyone experienced lag when using a bigger file as ringtone?
I have. When I use a .wma file which is bigger than 500k, up to 900k, there will be a lag. When there's an incoming call, the unit will light up first, but the ringtone will not start after 2 "toot-toot" or about 2 to 3 seconds later. I've simulated this using my landline to call my mobile, the lag is terrible for bigger files.
Hardly surprising when the ring tone has to be loaded into memory before ist starts playing, why do you want or need a ringtone of 500k or more?
because a 10 to 20 seconds .wma is that BIG!
Fair enough but my ringtone is the 02 Advert theme which is 30secs in length and only 300k? Encoded from an .mp3 using Windows Media Encoder.
Thanks guys
But 1 thing, did u guys actually found out that when setting the converted files as ring tone the sound quality of the files actually became softer ? is there anyway to make it louder? no point setting it as ring tone if u cant actually hears it.. thanks
1. When converting to WMA do this into mono mode (file will be twice smaller than stereo) and lower bitrate. U can't see the diffrence with this mono, little MDA speaker. speaking from my experience best result will be with 32 kb/s which gives 45 s ring about 200KB.
Check this one out http://annawhite.net/avatar/14-samuel_jackson-gmg pocket.wma souns great IMHO.
2. U can make WMA or MP3 louder with any good software mensioned above. If UR software doesn't have this function it means clearly that's not a good one . It's not easy to find good WMA soundeditor but U can (before converting to WMA) convert MP3 to WAV and there are plenty of applications which have this functionality. There will be no quality loss becouse any converting software does exactly the same (convertion from MP3 to WMA means that software does an uncompressing to raw - Wav format and then compressing it again to desired format).
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.
Try to use Ringo Mobile from http://www.electricpocket.com/ringo-mobile/

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.....
Is it possible to make sound of a notification mp3 file?
It seems to support only .wav..=(
the only way to set mp3 ringtone on sms is programm called Ringo. but it changes phone-calls sounds too which is not good as I use PhotoContacts for this - it's better imho.
any other solutions???
thanks)
I've spend some time playing with regestry and here is what i found.
all notifications (including sms delivery sound) are played by album.exe programm. it can't play .mp3 files (but it can play .mp4 that's why you can freely use them as ringtones).
I tried to make .wav play not by album.exe but with windows media player (wmplayer.exe) - but it doesn't support .wav, too...
also I tried to make tcpmp play .wav - but it seems to me it doesn't understand command line params...=|
the thing I want is to find another player to play all system sounds and by that make .mp3 sounds for notifications.
or make .mp3 sounds on notifications in any other way
TCPMP plays everything, including - if you download the codec, AAC.
it does, but it doesn't support command line.
if in registry in file assosiations you write for .mp3 "player.exe "%1""
it wouldn't play that file.. =|
and btw I tried using another player which supports everything - but it didn't solve the problem. notifications don't look at what player is set - they directly play wave sounds or directly start album.exe - I don't know.
Even ringo doesn't disable it - it sets "silent" wave on notification and plays another sound itself at a same time - how it cathes incoming sms - I don't know...must be some .dll in memory which does it.
did u try to rename your player in to album.exe?
Finaly It seems to me that notifications are played without any player. notifications does it itself.
I just converted sound I wanted into wav and forgot about it...don't have time now for searching for another solution.
Help me please, recently I just have a problem with my Dopod D810. I only can assign a low quality MIDI (simple low level polyphonic) only as ringtone and the sound quality is pretty bad. When I tried assigning a complex MIDI file as the ringtone, it just won't play when I tested it in Sounds & Notifications settings, and when there's an incoming call it will be changed to Windows Default.wav automatically.
I remember some time ago, all of my MIDI files still can be played nicely as ringtones. Now, all of my MIDI files can only be played nicely with external player like CorePlayer and only some of them can be used as ringtones (with poor sound quality).
Can anyone help me solve this problem? Any registry fix maybe?
Thanks!
I'm also having the same problem as this
"I remember some time ago, all of my MIDI files still can be played nicely as ringtones. Now, all of my MIDI files can only be played nicely with external player like CorePlayer and only some of them can be used as ringtones (with poor sound quality)"

I tried installing some cab found somewhere around here but also didnt work.
Working back again after installing this cab..
