Custom ringtone?

Hi, I was wondering how to set a custom ringing tone for the incomming calls. I tried with MP3 and WMA formats, placing them in My Music and Windows folders. Nothing. The ring tone list just doesn't include my file.
What's the trick?

Makes muuch more sense, thanks a lot :wink:
But for the alarms? \Windows and \Windows\Rings don't work.
for alarms you would have to use .wav format files...just paste them in the windows folder and you should be able to select the tone you want when setting up the alarm or reminder.
Alarm must be in wav format, and place in \windows, ringtone can be in \windows\rings or \Storage Card
For alarms, you can use Pocket WakeUp 1.1 and so use MP3 Files :lol:

SMS Ring Tones ?!?

I just want to know how to change the SMS tone to be .mp3 ??
i've placed the mp3 file under the windows folder but couldn't
see it in the drop-down list of SMS tones !!!
thank you in advance geeks ..
you need to use wav files in the windows folder for it to work
I am not a Geek!
But if I can use MP3 Files as a normal Call-Ringtone, why not also using MP3 Files as a SMS Sound?! :?:
I have absolutely no idea!! does that help?
Thanx ..
thanx guys for the help. In my opinion, it's impossible to set mp3 files as sms ring tones, you have to convert them into wav files.
havent tried it but I think you can use wma files with phonealarm

Where did you find a dialogue to select different message alert sounds? I can only find choices for ring tones, not message alerts. I've looked through the phone options and the manual but can find nothing about changing message alerts.
Doh! I just found it in Settings/Sounds & Notifications. It's a shame there is no consistent approach to setting ring tones and SMS alerts. No matter, problem solved.

Is it possible to use mp3 tone as sms/text tone?

Hi,
I have tried to use mp3 tone as text/sms tone but it couldnt work.
Anybody know how to change it?
Help pls
Thanx
Not that I know of!
needs to be a .wav file i belive
WM6 can use mp3 as this tones
For ringtones, a WMA is smaller than a MP3 with the same sound quality. (and it's supported for incoming calls... but not for incoming text message )

MP3 & WAV as sms alert

How can i set an Mp3 or wav as ringtone alert?
Thanks
I want to now that too? i have tried set the tones in my device/windows where all the alert/notification are but not working?? why is that? you dont see the tone in the list att all when you set a notification tone. I have tried mp3 wav wma tones.
what I did (and which is working) : I have 2 sounds that I wanted to use (1 for sms alert and another one as ringtone for my phone). the ringtone, I converted it to mp3 (mono, 96kbps) and put it in the windows\rings folder. for the sms alert, I left it as wav and put it in windows folder (mp3 wasn't recognized). in that way, they both appear at the right place in sound/notifications.
Ok, so you must convert the sounds? if you want to use them as notification tone. Thanx! gamin, I try that!
You can use ether MP3 or WAV as a ringtone, but only WAV for SMS.
SMS tones need to be in the windows folder.
If you want to use an MP3 as a ringtone all you have to do is hold the stylus on the MP3 to get the menu up and select "set as ringtone".
I know this works in WM6 but not sure about WM5.
does it exists a software to manage rings (for all alerts)?
Thanks

Customised ring tone

Hi, I have had my HD2 for close to 2 months already and have yet to find a way to set mp3 or personalized audio files as ring tones. Any body can help?
Thanks in advance.
put the file you want as ring into windows/rings.
Thanks. Managed to set it as ring tone. But message tones cant be customised ?
You can try putting the mp3 files in My documents folder. Makesure not in any sub folder and give it a try. This way you can customise either your ringtone or message tones
thanks alot. Managed to get it done. ^ ^
