Right now I use my Mda Vario to wake me up,I have it set to the Dog Barking...Does anyone know how to change it to music that I have saved on the device. I don't want to buy or install more software.
Newbie....
The only way I know how to do that without installing software is to record music as wav (low bitrate) and place it in the \windows\ directory.
Free software wise there is an english version of pocket wakeup here that plays mp3's

I use mobialarm free as it plays wma's/mp3 most other formats
enjoy
Another way would be to use (if it's not already installed, I'd recommend it!) MortPlayer (Freeware!), plays all kind of audio, lots of skins etc... and it's got an alarm!
Two steps:
1. Set the integrated alarm of the Qtek to the time you want to get up (to make sure the Qtek is ON at the desired time).
2. Set MortPlayer to the same time (or a minute later) to play whatever tunes you want to hear in the morning.
Done... 8)
Try this pocket wakeup. It play a single mp3,ogg,wav as alarm, and works well with me.

Wav,Mp3 Wma in Alarms
Thanks, but actually i already instaled spb time which is the best for the simple task of alarming me to wake up. I really want to know why this stupid phone doesn't support mp3 and other formats in alarms, the audio codecs are the same to the whole system but why dont they work Rrrrrrr!
Does anyone wakes up with the alarm sound that it makes? or... as my self, wakes up with the vibration of the phone... i really don't get it...
Blame microsoft... just another thing i forgot to mention is that the screen should blink but it doesnt. why? i already hard reseted the phone, changed soft. version 1.11; 1.12.05; 1.12.10 WWW-PTB, nothing it just simply doesnt react. what i really wanted was a reg change to make it work, if the device uses a .dll to control the audio codecs it may be changed by reg and so we people dont have to give away another 10-20 bucks for a thing that should work from the begining. Help?
I'm probably plain stupid cause the alarm files are all wav & I can't think of any reason why the magician wouldn't accept them as an alarm tone. & surprise surprise it does actually work on my magician with 1.13 WWE rom. Tested with an own recording. MP3 didn't work with alarm, but does work on reminders, message reception etc. WMA not tested.
Cheers, M
Put that limitation down as something that would have improved with HTC Prophet
how do use mp3 as tones for messages? i tried moving mp3 to windows directory but i can find it in tones...
Hi nm8,
Does WindowsMediaPlayer play these mp3's? If not you have to get them in a format WMP can recognize, otherwise it won't work.

First: I hate how wm2003SE plays ringtones :evil:
I did bigstorage trick, tested all the testable and got ringtones work (mp3 in storage card) :roll: BUT, I was in searching of some software that can assign mp3 even for sms: tried the one provided by ringo, but as expected I had no luck
Then, I managed to install pocket bluetooth tools: great bt app, played with it a bit, but uninstalled it because the audio system thought that a bt headset was linked (and consequently, when I received calls the bt turned on itself)
Then the problems began to come: the default ringtone kept playing even if a picosecond before I changed the ringtone to something else :? after heavy registry tweaking (all related to ringtones, default ringtone changed) I get a wav file to being executed in the storage card as ringtone, and can change it in the phone settings applet.
BUT: I can select every wav files to play, even if it's on a storage card; I can select wma files to play as ringtone ONLY if they are in the \windows folder; I can see all the mp3 in the storage card, but I can't reproduce these in the applet - if I tap the ok button, the applet won't exit because it need a playable ringtone (I think so)
Tried to set mp3 with the excellent wma profiler, playable but not as ringtone; with mortring, when someone calls me I get an error bip sound (with the vibration :wink: ) I don't want do make hard resets or so, not now that my baby is just fine
Sh*t of a bugfilled ring manager :x
Any help appreciated, MocciJ

Morning All,
I'm new to the forum (well posting) but have been reading the wealth of information on here for the past few weeks - this site is an awesome resource, I've learnt so much!
Anyway, I've had my Mini-S (wizard) a week now, and am mostly happy and impressed by it. I guess my main (few) annoyances are WM5 related, rather that with the device itself.
Anyway, I always use my phone as an alarm clock. I wanted to play an MP3 as the tone, so have converted one to wav, and saved in the windows directory.
I've set up my alarm schedule, for all weekdays at 6.30. Then click on the little bell icon and set the 'play sound' to my wav file, 'repeat sound' is unticked, 'flash light' is ticked, and vibrate is unticked.
But, for the past two mornings, all I get is the device sounding the standard notification alert tone, and popping up a message box for my alarm. Luckily my wife was awake this morning when it went off - as the tiny alert tone would never have woken me up.
Any ideas where I'm going wrong - I can't think what else I need to set for it to play that wav file????
Cheers all,
Paul
How is the wav file encoded? That may make a difference. Maybe you're using too high a bitrate. If you feel like buying a program, SPBTime is what I use, and it lets me specify MP3's as ringtones. Great prog. Only thing that'd make it better is if it supported WMA, but c'est la vie.
WAV file...
I assume that you can play the wav file thru media player on your device?
How big is the wav file?
Charlie Grillo
Hmm, I don't think the encoding or bitrate is a problem, as I can play the wav file fine, and when I select it in 'play sound' it plays just fine.
I also converted an mp3 clip to wav to use as an mms/sms message alert - and that works fine too.
My problem is not with assigning mp3's as ringtones, it's just with the blumin' alarm functionality in WM5. :evil:
Perhaps I should try a seperat alarm prog? Any suggestions....
It just bugs me that such a simple function should work without problems....

Hi Mate, yep - can play it fine.
It's <1MB I believe....
I've given up on Windows Mobile alarms about 2 years ago. I highly recommend this program which is ingeniously named Alarm Clock. And best of all, its freeware!
I also use my phone (Vario II / HTC Tytn) as my alarm clock but found that I couldn't get on very well with the standard WM5 alarms (I am very difficult to wake and need a heavy duty loud and constantly repeating alarm ... with snooze function ).
Instead of using WM5 alarms, I downloaded a freeware audio player named Mortplayer (Click here to go to Developers site) and it works brilliantly. It has lots of functions like increasing volume alarm, run playlist or particular file, snooze function at your own definable intervals etc.. really good little free program.

Hi toxic,
Official support was not built in the ROMs so you have to use an extended software to attain it. Try SetMp3AsRingtone. You can also manually copy your MP3 ringtones to Windows/Rings folder. Then you can select them from the Sounds & Notifications.
Try installing SPB PocketPlus. It comes with a whole range of functions and displays.
Cheers!!

I agree with this, but there is one more way to set mp3 for ringtone. Probably you will install some programs for playing mp3 music (Pocket Music or some other), but the key is in setting which program will associate that *.mp3 extension, if u allow some program (different than Windows Media Player) to automatically play this files, it will make u trouble when set the mp3 for ringtone, it won't ring, not any sound at all! So be carefull when choose file types in any program for multimedia file types (*.avi, *.mpg, *.mp3, *.wma ...) the best is to not associate them at all with any other program except WMP. This will work 100%!
Cheers to all!!
Thanks iwans for the addition.
u can try phone alarm too for mp3
Is there a way, using Total Commander, or otherwise, to create a link to play the current ringtone on a WM6 machine?
****Here is the background to this question*****
I am working on a project using an old Samsung i760 WM6 phone as an MP3 doorbell. I have torn apart the phone and dissected out the center button so that when it is in Windows Media player, if the center button is pushed, it plays the current song, amplified through an in wall speaker.
It works great, and made for some good laughs on Halloween.
Now, I would also like to use Pandora throughout the day to add some ambiance to the downstairs, but still have it that if anyone pushes the doorbell, it plays the song in windows media (even if that app is not active).
I was thinking that if there was a way to link to the current "ringtone" selected in the phone, that on a daily basis, I could just set whichever MP3 I want to be the ringtone for that day as the doorbell, and then whatever other app is active, when a certain button is pushed, it plays the ringtone.
So, the question:
Is there a way, using Total Commander, or otherwise, to create a link to play the current ringtone on a WM6 machine?
Thanks
