can anyone tell me is there a function or software to make it possible for Mp3 to be as a ring tone?
I convert all my ringtones (MP3 and WAV) to WMA using Sound Forge 7.
They get really small and remain very good soundquality.

Converting to WAV is a bad idea
Convert the mp3 to WMA (Windows Media Audio) , U will conserve the quality , less file size and u can set a .wma file as a ringtone !
Recommended software: MP3 to All Converter

this is the best tool i've come across and it's opensource
Forget paying for Soundforge - use dbPowerAmp - it's free and integrates into the shell
Transcoding will result in quality degradation, but not in so far as you'd notice it as a ringtone

ok,where can i download(link) dbPowerAmp :?:
How about using using Windows Media Encoder which is a free download and has pre-defined settings for encoding for use on PocketPC etc?

Has anyone experienced lag when using a bigger file as ringtone?
I have. When I use a .wma file which is bigger than 500k, up to 900k, there will be a lag. When there's an incoming call, the unit will light up first, but the ringtone will not start after 2 "toot-toot" or about 2 to 3 seconds later. I've simulated this using my landline to call my mobile, the lag is terrible for bigger files.
Hardly surprising when the ring tone has to be loaded into memory before ist starts playing, why do you want or need a ringtone of 500k or more?
because a 10 to 20 seconds .wma is that BIG!
Fair enough but my ringtone is the 02 Advert theme which is 30secs in length and only 300k? Encoded from an .mp3 using Windows Media Encoder.
Thanks guys
But 1 thing, did u guys actually found out that when setting the converted files as ring tone the sound quality of the files actually became softer ? is there anyway to make it louder? no point setting it as ring tone if u cant actually hears it.. thanks
1. When converting to WMA do this into mono mode (file will be twice smaller than stereo) and lower bitrate. U can't see the diffrence with this mono, little MDA speaker. speaking from my experience best result will be with 32 kb/s which gives 45 s ring about 200KB.
Check this one out http://annawhite.net/avatar/14-samuel_jackson-gmg pocket.wma souns great IMHO.
2. U can make WMA or MP3 louder with any good software mensioned above. If UR software doesn't have this function it means clearly that's not a good one . It's not easy to find good WMA soundeditor but U can (before converting to WMA) convert MP3 to WAV and there are plenty of applications which have this functionality. There will be no quality loss becouse any converting software does exactly the same (convertion from MP3 to WMA means that software does an uncompressing to raw - Wav format and then compressing it again to desired format).
I've encountered a little problem. I'm using PocketMusic as my default player because it sorts by track number (unlike the built in media player), and thus the filetype .mp3 is associated with it. However, if I try to assign an mp3 as my default ringtone, it firstly won't let me preview it, and secondly, it reassigns the default ringtone when I press ok. However, if I remove the file association from PocketMusic, then it works fine again.
I suspect that the audio notifications engine must run on the built-in Media Player and that this cannot be changed.
Is anyone using another media player and having the same problems?
Yep, I have seen this installing any other media player that want to take over the default file associations. Don't let them associate or you won't get any ringers =[. I also suspect that Windows Media Players shares the 'engine' for ringers.
same here, does anyone have a solution to make pocketmusic not a default player?
A few songs in my Windows Media Library on my 8525 play back at a fairly large volume level. This is true even when I lower the handset volume and/or the music player volume to a mere 5%. It seems peculiar to Windows Media player because TCPMP plays the songs fine. My first question is does anyone know why Windows Media is doing this? Second question is, is there a way to change my default media player to TCPMP?
Ok, I been searching for a while now and can't find it. Maybe it was at ppc geeks but they seem down for the last day or so.
My Bell Touch had WMPlayer as the default audio player in the media hub. With media player playing a song, I can pull up the media hub screen and see a mini player with my "music", "photos", and "video" icons shrunk. if I change the player default to use audio manager I lose the mini player. In the past someone posted a tweak to utilize the mini audio control using audio manager, but I have since Hard reset my phone and forgotten the tweak.
I know that the HTC Touch Default is to have Audio Manager in the Media Hub and the mini player being utilized. I have done the tweak in the past so I know it works. I just can't find it in the registry.
Any help would be appreciated.
hello everyone it's the first time I start a new post here..
There is a problem in the "system volume". When I am listening music in HTC Sence, it is too high even I have set it to the minimum value(6%).
Is there any ways to further lower the minimum system volume?
Thanks
Have you tried adjusting the volume controls via your Music Player application to further lower the sound?

I prefer to use the music tag in HTC Sence to play music, so I have no ways to adjust the volume to be further lower.
