is there a way or a program to play mp3 for ringtones but without copying the file to th file windows/rings?cheers
Ringo Mobile is one of them...
Mring is recomended. It's more reliable than Ringo.
thank you very much
you can just copy it in the documents
Why not just copy the files in the /my documents folder instead?
it also works if you put the file in /storage card/my documents/
yep, i find the above post to be the best, easiest and cheapest! solution. store ringtones in the root folder on your card

I have a HTC Hermes with Schaps 4.22 Rom,
I want to know if it is possible to set a ringtone from ym memory card as the standard ringtone?
I use audio manager to select as ringtone the mp3 file I want, I believe, however, it copies it to the phone though.. There is a cab file that enables you to select from the memory card. Here is link : http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=view&entry=63
Cheers...
Thanks to Mort for this awesome cab.......
Or, you can just copy the .mp3 to your phone or SD card, then with File Explorer, navigate to the file, hold the stylus on it until the menu comes up and hit "Set as Ringtone" Thats what I always do. Then under Settings-Sounds-Notifications, it should show up and be selectable as a ringtone...
But, yes, it will copy the ringtone to your phones internal memory, so I am not sure if there is a way to run it off the memory card directly....
hi mates
you can create a folder in the sd card with the name ´my documents´
inside create a folder with the same name of the ringtones
with this you can use probally all of your music as ringtones and save more storage in the internal memory.
hope i help anyone...
Hi,which folder should I put the mp3 files to make it available for using in the Alarm of WM 6.1? (I don't want to install G-alarm)
Thanks!
hi,
copy your mp3 into \my documents on internal storage or into \windows directory
hi,

Thanks for your answer, I do the same as you say (copy the file.mp3/wmv to my documents on Internal Storage and /windows) but in notification, when I chose the song for alarm but I can't find it.
u nid to convert the file to .wav then put into the application data/sounds there
Use G-Alarm!!!
You should find it in this forum
WAV is too big. How come Smartphone edition can use mp3 files for alarm and PPC can't?
How to make HD2 detect ringtones in a folder "Ringtones" instead of "My Documents
Is there a way I can create another folder somewhere in the SD Card titled Ringtones"" and make the phone recognize the songs in that folder as ringtones instead of "My Documents"?

But that's located in the device folders..I was hoping to have my own folders in my SD Card. Is that possible?
you will kick yourself, but here goes.
in the root of your sd card create a folder called......... my ringtones
the down side is that the folder will be indexed by the music player.

Whatever I do the music app or any for that matter, just doesn't read the music off the SD card. Dunno what else to do. Tried formatting the card and naming the folder "Music", still no success. I'm not rooted, only got my phone about a month ago and exchanged it already but still the same problem. Does anybody else have the same problem? How can I fix it? Cheers
Are other apps able to pick up your music?

I've just downloaded winamp from the market and copied an album to media folder on sd card and it found it straight away, try copying to media folder (if you have it) or just copying to sd root

right dude, copied some songs on to sd root and it worked (finally!!!) but would prefer to have all the music in a folder. so when you say media folder what exactly do you mean? renamed my music folder to both "Music" and "Media" and it didn't pick up any of them. Any idea how to get it to read my folder music?

Does your folder either have a period at the beginning of its name, or does it contain a file named ".nomedia"?
Android will ignore any music/image/video files in a folder that has a period at it's start (like ".Music"), or any folder that contains a file named ".nomedia". (and any sub-folder it may contain)
Dude ur a genius!!! That ".nomedia" bastard of a file was in there. Cheers man

Glad your sorted
I created my media folder, inside the folder i have 3 more folders named ringtones, notifications and videos my music i just transfer the album to this and leave as is.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I've been searching around and have round a few Ringtone directories in the G3. However:
1. I am not having much success when I copy over a .mr4 (ringtone) file, as when I pull up a contact, to connect my ringtone to it, they do not show in the list, even after a reboot. But I am able to use mp3's from the music directory, also
2. when I pull up the contact, to edit/change the ringtone, G3 will bring up the 'stock' directory for LG ringtones (where the heck is that located as I can't find that particular directory), and if I choose the + sign to select my own ringtone,
3. it will only take me to the music directory, so I can not navigate to find my uploaded ringtones...
Any help is appreciated.
Default is system/media/audio. In there are 4 more folders, ringtones, alarms, notifications & ui.
Also in the root of internal sdcard there are the same 4 named folders where new ringtones, alarms, ui and notification sounds can be copied to.

Thanks. Any idea on why when I try and select a custom ringtone, the only directory which comes up is the music director (which is on my SC card)?
I can not find a way to 'search' or go to a different directory.

All the ringtones I've copied to the "Ringtones" directory on the internal SD card show up when I try to change a contact's ringtone. Are you sure an .m4r file is compatible? That's Apple's format for the iPhone. Try copying an mp3 file to that directory, and see if it shows up.
Here's a program which claims to convert m3r files to mp3 files: http://www.zamzar.com/convert/m4r-to-mp3/

You may easily create a folder named "Ringtones" in the internal flash, not microSD card, and copy all your custom ringtones there. The reason is if you eject your microSD card all your custom ringtones will be set back to default since folder of microSD will not be available
I don't know the .M4R thing but all phones can see .m4a format music and may use them as a ringtones

Internal flash and internal SD are the same thing.
