i have a 2gb memory card and i was wondering if i could use the music for a ring tone. i know that u have to put in in the "My Ringtones" under active sync but that is a waste of money. I tried to paste a shortcut to a song on my memory card in the My Ringtones but that didn't work.
Is there a way to use music from the memory card as a ring tone?
yay i got it
All u have to do is create a folder in storage card called My Ringtones
then put the songs in there
Thats an excellent tip works a treat, i allways thought there would be a way to save space on the main device.
Is there a way to do the same with SMS sound effect ect? get them going of the mem card instead?

ive got mp3 to work as ringtones but i want some sound clips to use as sms sounds.
thank you once again for your help guys and girls
The sms alerts need to be .wav files and copied to your \windows folder or the root directory of the storage card
Have a look at the following link:

when u say root directory of my storage card can u explain please thanx
The Root Directory is the highest level directory in your storage card. Meaning, drop the file inside your storage card, but not inside any folders within your storage card because the phone will not be able to detect them.
You can also try Pocket Ringo, which allows you to chose MP3 ringtones for your ringer and text messages, and allows you to customize ringtones for groups or individuals. Its a great program!
I have used SKTools in the past to change where ringtones are stored to allow me to store my ringtones on my storage card, but it doesn't work with my Atom. It seems to re-locate the place where the phone looks for the tone, but the tones do not show up as options to choose from. The options which do show up (default tones) won't work either because the phone is looking on the storage card. Does anyone know how I can put ringtones on my storage card and choose / use them from there? Thanks!

as the title says im trying to figure out how to apply a ring tone for a particular person that is located on my storage car...im trying to set a ring tone for each person and as we all know there is not enough space on the phone but i don't see how to do it unless the actual file is located in the ring tones folder under my documents in the phones storage......can anyone help or give some advice
after reading my post im unsure my intentions were stated....i have the contacts on my phone but i am trying to apply a ring tone when the song/file is located on my storage card
ring tones on storage card
now i am unsure if this was something left over from my wizard but i have noticed if the ring tones are placed on the root directory of the card (i.e. not in any folder what so ever or in a file) then the unit will pick up on the ring tones on the card but be forwarned if said card is missing then the unit will default the standard windows mobile ring tone
1a. Copy the music file to the root of your memory card OR
1b. Copy the music file to the RINGTONES folder of the phone's internal memory (Use 1A method if you need your storage space on your internal memory)
2. Go to contacts and find the contact you want to set the ringtone for and edit their contact details.
3. There will be a RINGTONE field and select that
4. A drop box will appear, then select that file you copied from your SD card.
Ringtone from MicroSD Card hack
Not sure if this is what you want, but this does a registery hack so you can have all your ringtones saved onto your micro sd card and be played without saving it onto the device. Works without any issues on my touch running wm6.1.
HKCU\Control Panel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory:
Change \Windows\ TO \Storage Card\
***You need to create a folder in the root of your SD card named "My Ringtones" Otherwise this won't work***
Hi,
I have a Palm Treo Pro and i would have my mp3 for the ringtones of my contacts.
I know that i can use them on manage sounds in parameters but they take a lot of size in memory on the local memory.
I tried to make a folder my documents\my ringtones on my Micro-SD but it doesn't work.
What can i do .
Thanks for your help
Sincerely
On your storage card make a folder called My Documents, spelled just as it is on the phones memory. place your mp3's or ring tones directly in that folder. Don't place them in a sub folder inside the my documents folder.

i have tried,but it doesn't work
Hi,
Thanks for your answer but i had try but it doesn't work.
sorry about that i was thinking of my touch pro that i just sold. with the palm it's slightly different. here's how to do it.
settings > personal tab > sound & notifications > manage tab > menu > add. select your file from there and it will say it has added the ring tone. it should now appear in your drop down box.
see if that helps.
Ringtones
I believe they have to be stored to the device memory to be used as ringers. None on the storage card work.
I have all of my ring tones in the "My Documents" folder on my storage card and what i said above works just fine. You can use sk tools to change where your phone stores the default ring tones. It's default location I believe is the windows folder on the devices memory.
Hi I want to use an mp3 I have on my sd card as a ringtone but whenever I go to ad ringtone it makes me choose an email account to ad from...it used to shoe other storage options to pull from such as drop box but now it just forces me to choose from one of my two emails I have. I want to access my external sd card I've inserted or from my phones internal memory where my mp3s are stored to use one for my ringtone . How do I do this?
