As far as I can tell, we are limited to using the in built message tones?
I can add new ringtones, and they appear when changing my ringtone, but when I try to change the message tone, the newly added WAV ringtones do not appear in the list, I am stuck with the preset crap.
I have a few I really want to use too.
If I am doing something wrong please let me know.
Put the WAV files in \windows\ main folder... It should appear in your message tones list...
Can't do it still, I've put it in the top windows level as well as the rings folder and still wont show up, I am so bored with the crap defaults!
sigh
Ummm :?: ... Try running the Add Ring Tone applet from the \Start\Setting\System\... Hope this helps as I am using my own customised WAV files for SMS tones on my O2 mini without any problems...
oh :?
ive tried adding the ringtone with the application, it appears in the ringtone list but will not appear in the list for sms tones.
arghhhhhh
Hi, I have installed many ringtones (mp3) into the rings directory of windows, and I am able to use them as ringtones. How can I use an mp3 for the sound alert of a new text message. What directory does it need to be in. I have tried windows/rings but it wont see it for text messages. Do I have to use a specifig media format for text mesages. I even tried renaming an mp3 to mid and it still doesnt see it.
Please help
Put it into Windows directory, and they can only be in .wav format.
Thanks !
I put my .mp3 ringtone at /Windows/Rings and set my ringtone to that MP3.
It should work, right?
:shock: But it always kick back to boring Windows Default !!!
I have to set it back everytime.
Any idea? :roll:
i m not that sure but i guess it can only use WMA or WAV ringtones
Try to transform your .mp3 into .wma (same quality / size)
try to make short ringtones, no more than 20sec.

jarmsk, I got my K-Jam the other day and placed some MP3 files into the rings folder to use as ringtones. Utilising MS Outlook, I have assigned MP3 tones to different people with no difficulty at all. Are you using Outlook or another PIM (such as Pocket Informant).
Sorry that I can not offer any advice on how to get it working on your device but I just wanted to let you know that it is possible and that it does work.
The ringtones that I assigned to each person in my contact, are working correctly.
The only problem is the ringtone that I assigned as the default ringtone.
I tried change convert from mp3 to wma but it always kick back to the original default ringtone.
I didn't use any other PIM just the one from the factory.
Any idea guys?

You got eg. pocket music installed?
Some programs is associate the MP3 as their default.
That can be the problem, just try to uncheck Mp3 in that kind of software..
notem screwed my mp3 ringtones up. uninstalled it but still windows default so converted them to wma and work fine now. had to reassign tone for each contact again.
is there a registry hack to revert things back?
mp3 ringtones for wizard
You can use it, no problem, I've tried my old magician mp3.cab file, it is working with wizard. Find it here, somewhere on magician forum.
Yes but why do we have to store our files in the Rings folder??
Any way to use the SD card? I have fifty or so ringtones, they take too much space if I place them all in the Rings Folder.
If you use the original explorer you can assign mp3 as your ringtone
just browse with the original explorer on your wizard to the mp3 file ...anywhere it doesnt mather
tap and hold on on the mp3 file.....in the drop down menu there is a selection for "set as ringtone"...when you select this, the file will be copied to the rings folder in windows. it also works for me by just copying them to the rings folder

that's exactly a problem. in my case i have gsplayer associated with mp3 files so mp3's as ringtones never work (only windows default ringtone). when i uncheck mp3 association in gsplayer, mp3 ringtones are working fine... now i'm converting ringtones into wma format as a workaround of this problem.
Hi - i can assign custom ringtones for incoming calls.. but not for text messages.
Anyone know how i can change this?
Thanks guys.
(Running on XDA mini S with ROM: 2.16.9.1 WWE)
Place the wav/mp3 etc you want assigning to an SMS tone in the Windows directory, these will then appear in the list for assigning to SMS/Alarms etc
i have tons of wavs in that directory that do not show up when i try to change the notification in Sound Notifications. Anyone know what im missing?
have u tried place the wav to \windows\rings\ ?
PS:the wav files should be within certain bitrates.
yup... if u do that it will work for incoming calls... but NOT FOR TEXT MESSAGES... still haven't figured out how to for texts
I've placed some MP3s in the Windows directory on the device and it works for SMS's. Not sure about wav files though.
how are you assigning the sms sounds? through "sounds and notifications"? cause if i place an mp3 in the windows directory, it does not show up as a selection. i assume it can only read .wav
Yo all,
This may have been posted before but i can't find where! Please point me in the right direction if it has!
Anyhow, is there any way of setting custom MP3's or WAV's as a notification such as New Email, and New MMS.
I have heard of Ringo but i believe that only caters for standard ringtone and sms alerts (please correct me if i'm wrong)
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Peace!
It has been but I am too lazy to find it, u can create a wav file an put it in the windows folder(pretty sure), then u can select it from the drop down list.
Ringo.....more so if you were a palm user is that useful
in WM5 you can only use MP3 files as ringtones and not SMS/MMS/Email alerts. You (however) can use .wav files as alerts. Convert your alerts into .wav files (leave your ringtones as MP3s) and copy them all into the windows folder on the device.
The alerts and tones will be available now in the "start>settings>sounds & notifications" menu.
In WM6 you can use MP3s as both alerts and ringtones.
I myself was surprised by the lack of MP3 alerts in WM5.
Yo,
Cheers for the info, however i did think about the copying a wav to the windows directory but it does not appear in the list.
Also i am using WM6 (Latest LVSW ROM 26/03/2007) but i cannot see where i can set the mp3's as alerts.
mmmmmm a little confused now lol
Don't worry about the WAV thing in windows directory, i have that working now (i was being daft!)
Also I tried copying over an mp3 sound and its now available in the drop down list too (me being daft springs to mind again)
Thanks for your help peeps and sorry if i wasted your time.
Peace!

Firstly, when you copy the files to Windows do this via activesync (hidden files and folders must be shown in windows on the pc). Next when you set the various alerts you select what event (ie Unread text message) and then select the alert options. An easy program to set several profiles is phonealarm.
i used ease audio converter to shrink the file and convert the mp3 to wav. works fine for me...
Just for clarification; On an WM6 I can still place the MP3 file I want to use for an sms alert in the Windows Folder? You mentioned that on WM5 you can place the wav files into the windows folder and it will work, is it the same for WM6 with an mp3 file?
