Search google for a mp3-wav converter, cant remember which one i use but will update post when i get home and check.
Remember also a mp3 song converted to wav form will be a very BIG file, better to sample just a small ( very small ) section of the track and then use this for sms notifications.
There is a program called phonealarm that you can use, you can choose any sound you like for SMS.
First post....hello everybody.

I use Audacity (free) to edit MP3 first by selecting the part of the song or clip I want to use as a alert. Then you can remove one channel (right or left) which cuts down the size quite a bit. As far as I know all PPC speakers are MONO so there is no need for a stereo ring-tone or SMS alert. You can also change the bit rate but don't go to low or your sound will be distorted. Audacity also allows you to adjust the volume of the output alert so you can have a nice loud sound and attract allot of attention when you pull your phone out. LOL.
Also Remember that a SMS alert is (I think) shorter than a ring tone alert. (ring tone alert is between 30 and 35 seconds) I wont get my 8525 till Monday but I have a E-TEN M600 and I believe the length of the SMS is the same as the 8525/Tytn.
One thing to note: you can mute a ring-tone when someone calls but I have not found a way to mute or stop a SMS alert when it comes in.
After you have the perfect RT/SMS alert as a MP3 find a free app out there that will convert it to a .wav. I use a app that came with Nero.
You can also try Ringo. This is a app that will allow you to assign a different sound to any incoming sms message.
ie. I get a traffic update via SMS everyday before I go to work and I assigned the sound of tires screeching and horns blowing impatiently as my SMS traffic alert.

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

All Notifications except Incoming Cal, MUST BE in *.Wav format. ANY format of data but ONLY PCM WAVE.
Incoming Call can be *.MP3.
There is no settings in Radio Module(soft) for quality of recording sound.
May be anybody will tweak it
Ringo Mobile software allows mp3 wma as alert tone
I think using midi's files are good.And it works quite well

changing ringtone
i think it was easy to choose what type of sound do you like as many as you like, but it should be in *.wav.
1. Copy your *.Wav file from memory card, then
2. Tap your windows (not memory card windows), then Paste it in. Close.
3. Now open your Settings ~ Sounds & Notifications ~ Notifications ~ Event: scroll down for "Messaging: New text message" ~ check for Play sound: just change for your favourite sound that you have already paste in.
4. Okay. Simple but sure.
ok. stupid newbie question...

Sometimes it helps if you use the manual!
thanks for your helpful reply!!
Dont you think i have read the manual from cover to cover- it doesnt say where i have to put the files for it to be used as the alarm tone or the message tone!!
THANKS

Ok ok, put in /windows/Rings folder on your device.
it seems that you can only use .wav file format, is there any workaround to use .mp3, .mp4 or .wma files? wav audio format is so big it will be a complete waste of memory, btw. for alarms sound you must copy wav to \windows folder
Did you know that actual size of predefined .wav files in windows folder is almost 2MB and you can't delete it?

you can use mp3 and mp3 has smaller Filesize than wav. just use a good converter and use low bitrate. you can also cut mp3 files as you might do not want the whole 5th symphony for a ringing tone.
yeah- i got the ring tone to be changed to my favourite Hatebreed song but for the life of me cannot get it to change the alarm ring tone to something other than those included with the phone..... i used to have an edited mp3 as alarm tone for my sony-ericcson..... i am assuming this phone is better and can do that.......
any ideas to change the alarm tone?
thanks

Yes for ringtone but NOT for alarms and sms, if someone know how to do it please xplain ...
G'Day Guys,
You need to use .WAV files bummer I know as they are generally larger but it is the only way to use them.
Convert your MP3 files to .wav with a program such as Ease Audio Converter:
http://www.soft32.com/download_15987.html
Once converted, connect your phone to the USB Sync Cable and let is sync.
Once synced go to >my computer>mobile device>my windows mobile-based device>windows and place your .wav file in the windows folder.
It should convert the file for mobile windows format.
Then in your phone go >start>settings>sounds¬ifications>notifications>events and select event, then associated sound.
or for alarm
>start>settings>system>clock & alarms>bell symbol and select sound.
I found that the sound file for the alarm cant be too long, at 17 sec it wouldnt work at 10sec it would................ Again I used "ease Audio converter" to clip the length of the wav file.
Hope this helps, spent many hours delving around on the net finding the answers.
Regards,
BIQ
can this be stickied or put in the wiki under common problems with the Trinity? just an idea

This is nothing to do with the Trinity as such- it is, and has been, universal with all Pocket PC/ Windows Mobile devices.
As the previous posters have said:
Ringtones can be WAV, MID, WMA or MP3 and need to be in the Windows/Rings folder. Later devices have other permissible locations, but Rings is univerfsal.
Other notifications must be WAV files, and preferably need to be 25KB or less. These need to be in the Windows folder, and are selected via the Settings/Sounds and Notifications control panel.
You can use MP3's as alarm, SMS and messaging tones, but you need add-on programs- SpB Time /Chronos etc for alarms, Ringo Mobile for SMS & Contacts etc.
Alright well i searched around and i couldnt really find anything.
I use a .wav song for my text messages and its getting a little annoying now because it plays the whole thing every time i get a text message...
Is there any way that i can stop the music once i hit a key just like a regular phone would?
--- I use an ATT Tilt.---
there is a program called mp3 trimmer. I would suggest converting your .wav to an mp3 and trimming it down to a much shorter length, like 10 seconds or somethign like that. I am not sure if mp3 trimmer will work with .wav files. You should then be able to save the new file to the ringtones folder, select that tone from the list of tones for when you get a txt, and wallah you have a new short ringtone.

hilarious
but seriously, MP3Trimmer would be your best bet. If you have Audio Manager, you might already have it (it's inside Audio Manager)
good luck
in order to get the ringtone to stop playing you have to pres the red end call key. i have an tilt also and thats what i do to stop my ringtone and it works everytime
Hi,
I have just been to www.comparethemeerkat.com and there is now a download section, you can download ringtones and backgrounds etc..
As I am a big fan of the jingle, I thought I would let every one else know about it..
