I have a T-Mobile MDA VARIO, I really wanted my Bluetooth headset adapter to work with my phone using A2DP etc.. It worked and the upgrade has improved the phone no end... except.. I can only use the windows default ring tone.
All the other ring tones (fantasy, jig etc.. ) are in the Windows directory, but saved as wma files rather than wav and they just wont play..
I have tried to convert the wma file and delete the originals, but the files are in the readonly ROM!!!
Has anyone else had this issue? Do you know how to resolve it?? HELP... thanks
you need the cab that makes this possible.
See the Wizard wiki on extended ROM's fro it.
In the T-Mobile explanation is the answer on which cab you need.
Thanks edsub.. tried installing the usa t-mobile and the NL cab, but still does not work...
UPDATE : WORKING!! Thanks edsub.. Needed to re-associate the wav and mp3 files with Windows Media player, all ok now... Maybe I did not need the cab file, all I needed to do is use RESCO Explorer to associate the music files with Media player rather than imusic, which it was previously set to

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,
Working well with some MIDI
A friend of mine found this patch, and i tried it and it works
i then tried it on the New Imate 1.12 rom and it did not work...
but it works fine on my T-mobile 1.01 rom.......
Just wondered if anyone else found this patch
Marc
What patch :?:
:?: The Magician plays mp3-ringtones by design. No patch required.
That's true, but no alarm tones. You can only use wavs for that. There are many applications which provide this feature, like WolfClock. I don't know if there's a patch available for this.
could you share a link plz

Yeah mine did until i installed betaplayer, after that it doesnt show mp3's when you try to change your ringtone. Uninstalling betaplayer resulted in no application being able to play mp3's. This suggests to me a file association problem but I have no idea how to solve it. Unlike 'regular' Windoze where you can assign associations fairly easily, mobile edition doesnt seem to be able to do this. Unless someone can come up with a better idea it looks like Im in for a long trawl through the registry
I did this with Winampaq on my XDA2. There is no way to re-associate the files with media player short of a hard reset. Microsoft really dodn't do much testing on this OS at all.
I found this but havent tried it.
been using it for ages, lets you set MP3 rintones from tap and hold menu, copies them...the whole file, to your windows\rings directory and sets as default ringtone.
Speedn

You should take a look at Resco File Explorer which can do exactly this.

Thanks for the tip, I will have a look at that app.
My main gripe tho is that I prefer GSplayer or Betaplayer to Media Player but when I install either one I lose the ability to use MP3's for ringtones, it seems that the phone will only allow MP3 ringtones using the WM engine (or I have missed something)
after installing any 3rd party mp3 program you need to reassociate mp3 files with windows media player to get mp3 ring tones to work correctly.

Thanks people...The app works just fine...THIS is what I had been searching...
Recently I installed iMUSIC, However, my JAM stops playing Mp3 as Ringtone!
I uninstalled that prog & since then I have no default player for mp3 & can't assign mp3 file as ringtone !!
I tried to assosiate prog. by Resco file explorer but when pressing on the file WM10 told me it's not supported file, While I can oplay the same file if I open in from WM10 menu itself...
What should I do???
WMAFile
try hack registry :
HKCR---- .mp3----Default change to "WMAFile"
then SoftReset.
HTH
didnt' work
Thanks for ur reply..
However it didn't work
When I click the button in file explorer, Wm10 opened but tells me it cant play the file ( while if I open the same file within WM10 menu it plays) !

i have this problem too. im using iMUSIC as mp3 player and can't assign mp3 files as ringtone. i cant find a fix either so i end up not using mp3 files as ringtone but use .wav & .wmv files instead.

@rmg
not tried this app but it looks like what I have been searching for ever since I got my Jam
If it works then you deserve massive kudos for this post
I'll see to that. If it fixes my messed up file associations, I owe you a beer. :lol:
i have the same problem using pocketmusic, lets hope this software sorts the problem, have not downloaded it yet but if it works please let us know
It works just great! THX! Now I got my old ringtones back plus can play mp3's as ringtones! Great stuff on the top of all it consumpts very little amount of memory. there is only one snag: works only if installed in the main memory not the storage card.
Glad it did the trick :lol:
Could you plz advise on that matter too?

I have a Dopod D810 (WM5, ROM 1.23.707.6) and I have a strange and annoying problem...
When I set an MP3 or WMA file as a ringtone, it works on the first 1-2 occasions that someone calls then next time I receive a call, it will ring as the Windows default ring. Usually it will ring silently for about 2-3 rings then the Windows default tone kicks in. I go back and check and the MP3/WMA sound file is definitely still there and can definitely be played....
I store my ringtones under \Windows\Rings but have also tried with storing the files under \My Documents\My Tones and even \Application Data\Sounds...
Any ideas?
Or perhaps recommendations for a ringtone manager that can take over from WM's unstable handling of my ringtones...?
Thanks in advance!
This problem usually happens when Media Player is not the default player for MP3 or WMA files. Have you installed a music player recently? If so u need to make sure that Media Player is still the default player for MP3 and WMA, otherwise ringtones won't work properly.
yes, you're right, i installed pocket music and it is now the default player for mp3 files. i'll re-associate windows media player and give it another go...
hrmmm no luck, changed default mp3 player back to windows media player but it still plays the crappy windows default ring. i have no idea...maybe i just have to install WM6 and take my chances!?
are there any ringtone managers that u know if that i can try, perhaps that will stop windows misbehaving!

you can try ringo http://ringomo.com/
I store the MP3s to be used as ringtone in the root of the mini SD and I have no problem.
thanks all - am using Ringo and all is well for now!
The same happened to me
The same problem happened to me i know it's due to the new player i installed but i can't get it back to the default option ...any ideas?
I found the solution to this problem
I managed to solve this problem setup the PHM Registry Editor program
download it from this website
http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}
after installation ...open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (Keys)
Then open the .mp3 then click on values
-open the default string file
-change the value data to mp3file (i found it was avifile so it's obvious that WM can't open it as it's mp3 not avi)
i hope this is useful for u
Thanks thundermind - I'm no longer having this problem after upgrading to WM6 however I have saved your solution for future reference
hello.
i searched all the net and all the forums looking for an answer to this:
i cannot set an mp3 as a ringtone on my HTC P3600.
i do not have the option in the file explorer "set as ringtone". i copied the rings in the windows\rings directory - didn't work, and in 'my documents' in the phone memory, not on the memory card -didn't work.
i tried with many mp3s, i tried this BEFORE installing any other program.
i get everytime the same error: the ringtone appears in the list from the settings - phone - set ringtone, but i cannot play it with preview and when i select it and click ok, it automatically returns to 'windows default'.
i have windows mobile 5 ver 5.1.465 (build 15673.3.3.1)
PLEASE help me, i am very disappointed, i have bought such a nice and smart pocket pc, and it has problems with some ringtones.. (
do wma ringtones work?
it worked!!!
what do you think is the problem with mp3? i mean, they are associated with ww media player, as set by default...
anyway, big thanks!
not sure ms like to push wma which is their own format
back in the pocketpc2003 days it was not supported at all without
3th party apps
not sure if it work nativly with wm5 and 6 though
Hey guys! Well my opinion is that wm5 doesn't have the corect codecs to play the mp3 that you have made or put in... so try upgrade to wm6 i'm shure it will work... my p3600 does!
