My first post in this incredible forum, I have all ready found so much help here and are most thankful, please keep it up.
Is it possible to make your own message sounds and use them when recieving text messages etc.
If possible at all what format should the file be in (mp3 wav)?
Tried with an mp3 placed in the windows folder it seems it cant find it.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm not an expert so hopefully one will reply, but I think they have to be .wav and I think they have to go in the \windows\rings folder.
cheers

Actually, you are 1/2 right, they need to be wavs, but they go directly into windows, not in the rings folder.
Steve
Yep steve is correct the sound file will need to be a .wav and place into the windows folder, ring tones can be mid,wav and so on and they are placed into the rings folder within windows.
Sound file converter???
Morning all,
My first posting also and yes this has to be the mecca for knwledge of all Wizard related things. My question:
Does anyone know of any software downloads which can convert .wma, mp3 or similar files into .wav??? I'm a complete novice at this sort of stuff but the array of ringtones and message alert tones is rubbish on my K-jam. Thanks for any replies.

You might try Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/
It's a free download. I use Sound Editor in Roxio's Media Creator 8 -- one of the MANY useful tools in that program.

YW -- (but I'm a GAL -- not a guy)!! LOL!! But, that's ok -- none of my friends can believe how "techy" I am, either. But, I'm the first one they come running to with a problem. Go Figger!!
Cheers all,
You keep refering to ring sounds, I am looking for Sounds for alarms and recieved messages, and alerts in general.
But I will try it now with wav files in stead of mp3.
Manindesert,
I'm using Sound Forge 7, but then again I really need it for all my music stuff, so give Audacity a shot.
Update Works fine with alarm and message sounds, thank you all.
Is there any way, hack or otherwise, that will allow you to point your rings/sounds to your SD card? Thought it would be nice to free some space and stop having to move files on and off the card. I change my ring tone with my mood
Javahater,
I've been loking for a hack/program/setting that will do that, but no luck so far.
Unfortunately, all SMS & ring tones must be located in main memory!
But there's a possibility to create a program that will browse a folder of ring tones on SD card & once u select a tone, it will be copied to main memory (and of course erase the old default tone from main memory) & will set this new file as the default ring tone for the phone.
Javahater and Ezzkht,
Maybe you should look here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard_Tweaks scroll down to this "ANY FOLDER RING TONES"
You will need a Registry Editor like Total Commander 2 or PHM Regedit
Hope this helps
Javahater,
Have been trying above solution for about an hour, seems that this solution doesn't work under WM5, or at least it doesn't make any difference if you change the folder or not (it only points to windows not windows\rings)
Will have to keep looking.

Thanks a lot Mikebj, it worked like a charm & without soft reset

AGREED !! I've got WM2003SE tried the steps mentioned http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard_Tweaks no use.......it still picks up the default folder from \windows\rings, where as I am pointing it towards \Storage Card\Sound\ not working
ok just double checked.....in sounds and notifications options it goes to \windows\rings folder.....but I have o2 plus installed as well...and in o2 plus sounds and notifications options it points me to \Storage Card\Sound any ideas ?
Ezzkht,
Happy t worked for you, can't say the same for me.
Well it is getting more and more weird, when I look in my registry it only points to \windows\ not even \windows\rings\, despite this it still manages to pick up ringtones/sounds in the rings directory, and all sound files placed in the root of the SD Card(go figure).
I'm out of ideas right now, but am still looking for a solution and will be back if I find one.
I just used Resco Explorer with the registry editor add-in.
It worked with me without a soft-reset!
What device do you have, Mike?
Maybe some nice sounds
Hello everyone!
It's a little bit off topic, a little bit not
My advice: SD card is not really a good place for sounds, at least in my case. Why? Sometimes it happened that when I got a phone call, instead of my nice ringtone I've heard the standard one. I think it has sth to do with powering up SD card while changing from standby mode. It's just my impression.
Secondly: I'm looking for some nice SMS ringtones, not the funky ones... I'm getting a lot of messages and it's really boring if you hear "Heeeeellooooo! Your message is coooooomingggg!" every now and then. I will appreciate if you could share your ringtone with me

I've been poking around on my G4 Wizard with WM6 flashed and I'm not able to figure out how to use an mp3 as one of the alarm sounds.
Has anyone else figured this out or have a link to someplace that has? I've found nothing on the 'net so far.
Dave
Nevermind. Found the answer. Search FTW!
I've always found that the speed you find an answer to your question is directly related to how soon you start a new forum thread asking.
Dave
can you post the answer here for the rest of us...thanks.

Ringtone manager is included in a few of the ROMs, including Faria's The Real Thing. It automatically finds all mp3s on your phone or storage card and includes them in the list of possible ringtones to choose from
For alarms or for ringtones?
I can use mp3 ONLY for ringtones
Is there a registry edit you can do to enable MP3's for Alarms as well?
Ringtone Manager
Where can I download it?
This is the one?

I still can't change the tones for my alarm using this. Am I missing something here?

Hi Moti,
Can you please provide the link to the MIDI support for WM6? The previous link has been removed.
Thx a lot

No problem. Here it is again:
Thx a lot Moti for such quick response. I have downloaded and installed the file. It works well now on my Window Media. Great man you are.
Hi Moti,
It is me again. Not withstanding my earlier reply, after installing the midi cab, midi files play well on WM player (Version 10.3 Build 21202 by xplode). However oftentimes when WMA files start to play for a short while, they will pause a little before continuing. Please help me again. Thx a lot.

If I am not mistaken (and please correct me if I am), WMP does skip/freeze, every so often. I don't use it so I can't really say, but I have read countless posts with reports from people having this same kind of issue with WMP.

Like egzthunder1 said, this is an old problem. I only really need midi support for my ringtones so I never really cared that it skips after a bit.
Sun dream's 6.5 ROM has midi support built in so you might want to give it a try and see if it is better at the skipping problem.
You are right, Moti and thank you for the help thus far, and thank Egzthunder for his reply.
I have used Sun dream's 6.5 Rom before, the WMP plays well with both midi and wma files- no skipping problem. A great Rom indeed. However, and this is not to discredit Sun Dream at all, a number of features still need improving, including Today Screen that wouldn't respond instantly to changes, no One Note mobile and it happened to me the IE stopped to function and displayed no connection after a few usage.
I have since moved to Xplode's ROM, which provides me with those needed features thus far. A great ROM indeed. However no support for midi files. I may seek help from Xplode on this, as he has developed his ROM, to some extent, with help from Sun Dream's.
Hi motisu,
thanx for the cab - MIDI is now working. The sound quality is a little bit poor, but anyway: At least I hear something with my MIDI-ringtones.
Sorry, but the sound is really not so nice - maybe that is concerned with my BA.
Thanx and Greetz,
hamaman
Hey out there,

Try the following:
Search your music database for a folder with write protection enabled. Disable this write protection and see if this fixes issue.
Manila player needs write permissions to these audio folders, because manila puts a hidden cover art file in each audio folder: hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg
Hope this helps...
Solution from vBoedefeld
same issue for me too.
this solution did not work
Hmmm. Okay, what can we do alternatively?
Anybody here to help us?
I think this bug is because of the writing protection which can not be disabled for an unknown reason!
Was doing some fiddling last night (as mentioned in another thread) and it, for me at least, appeared to be a problem with the program a mp3 was compressed with.
All my lame mp3s work fine but as soon as I copy one which dbpoweramp says was compressed with FHG all mp3s stop after a few seconds.
thanks!

It works for me: I reencode all my music with dbpoweramp with lame codec and I don't have anymore the issue.
Great thanks.

I also have the same prob using Miri WM 6.5...
hello wonderful people of the xda community!
im desperately trying to set a mp3 track as my alarm ringtone without any luck sadly. Can someone please help me? Thank you in advance!
Solved by converting the mp3 to a wav file and placing it to the windows folder.
G-Alarm is the best (UI). Now is not free. So you will need to look for old free version
BUMP
Really need to know this. I have been searching, but it seems like there are differences between the WinMo 6.5 builds, and I have tried different things, but none worked for me. pls help ppl!

You can use mp3 files for the alarm, but there's a size limit, and I can't remember what it is. I compressed a song down (I think it was about 2MB when I finished) and it then worked, but wouldn't before that.
Just copy it to the Windows folder and it should show up in the list.
Actually, I take it back. I had to convert it to a WAV file before I could use it as an alarm. There definitely was a size restriction too.
If you don't have anything, googling will turn up plenty of freeware apps for converting audio files from type to type.
thank you very much sir. if that works I will be very very happy. there is no problem in converting the mp3s to wav files.
If you use G-Alarm, there is an issue on HD2.
It could be the g-sensor - if you deactivate all settings about the g-sensor, then G-Alarm is running without freezes.
