Messages ringtones

How do you add a new ringtone under new messages? When I receive a message I would like it to play a ringtone of my own. Any ideas?

Put them in the Windows folder - I used wma files too

Just so I don't mess up and end up with files all over the place would that be;
Explorer>Windows>Rings ?
I know it sounds simple but I can mess up even the easiest jobs on these things!

You can put them in 'Internal Storage\My Documents\'
Then you don't have to worry about the space

I cna't tell you how much that has been annoying me and yet the answer when it came was so simple... a bit like me!

PS And it works with my ringtone as well... thus freeing up the space on my device memory! You know, I sometimes wonder how I get through the day without hurting myself!!!

I place the files in 'Internal Storage\My Documents\'rings or music
so I don't waste space and it's all well set!!

I have two problems with this:
1. Storing ringtones on the Internal Storage makes them show up in the Music tab! No thanks I don't want to listen to ringtones when playing my music, is there a way to stop this other than keeping them on My Device memory?
2. The topic is actually regarding message tones and not just ringtones and I cannot see any of my files to select for a meesage tone. They are MP3 files which work fine for ringtones.
Does this phone not allow MP3s to be used for messages?

1. Don't use the TF3D music player!!
2. I have no problems with mp3 message sounds... and I have them in 'Internal Storage/my Documents'

I quite like the TF3D player actually and I'd rather use the built in one than go to run another app especially as I use a stereo BT headset and press play on that which automatically starts the TF3D player.
I've put loads of MP3 files in Internal Storage\My Documents\MyRingtones and while they all appear ok for actual ringtones I can't see a single one for use as a message tone, only the default files are there.
Is there a size, bpm, frequency limit or anything?

Anyone else managed to use MP3s for message tones?

In order to use mp3 ring tones for mssg tone u need to put them in the root directory of internal Storage it works fer me like a charm....
Cheers

cut and paste the file in windows then u can go back to ur sound settings

Thanks for the replies putting it in the root has worked though it's a little untidy. I've also found that My Device\Application Data\Sounds is a working location. I thought I'd already tried that but obviously not
While we're on the ringtone topic, has anyone found a way to store mp3 ringtones on Internal storage and NOT have them show in the TF3D Music Library?
I'm wondering whether removing the ID tags from them would work though unfortunately I don't have anything to do that with where I am at the moment, I'll try tonight.

Just to update to this, removing MP3 tags doesn't work and the file alone is still recognised and included in the TF3D player.
Are there any locations on internal storage which WILL show up for selection as ringtones but NOT in the music player?

MP3 ringtone
you can place a mp3 file anywhere on your phone and then tap and hold and set as a ringtone. i belive this does automaticly move it to the phones memory tho as well as being on the extra storage.

hey anyone knows how to download mp3s from your phone
ps: i dont no if this is the good place to ask this im srry if it isnt im new thats y
thx

Assigning vibration to a specific contacts text messages and calls
Hi, sorry if this does not belong here, I think it is at least related . Does anyone know if there is an option (can not find it in the settings of the touch diamond) or tweak which would assign vibration to a specific incoming text message? Meaning: when I turn down the ring tone not to be disturbed acousticly, I want the phone vibrate only when one specific contact calls or sends text message. Thanks to all for any ideas

[Q]How to choose a specific folder for TF3D Music Tab?!

make a folder on the sd card name My Music, that should work

Not possible Unless someone finds a way to edit it in the manila files. It just searches the storage card for all media. So my suggestion to you would be to have all the other audio on your internal storage or use another player. I don't even use the TF3D player. I used to think it was all awesome, but screw it, S2P and CorePlayer ftw! WMP is good, no doubt. If you want a really good player, buy Conduits Pocket Player

actually that's what i did ..but still ..didn't work

Any work around to this issue?

Yeah does anyone know?
It's picking up the mp3 from my Nimbuzz folder and other program folders, i have a Music folder but it picks everything.

HD2 Music folder

I've had a look around the forum to see if there is an answer to this (but can't seem to find it).
Is there anyway to set the HD2 to only show music from a specific folder rather than it displaying all music files on the SD card. The reason I ask is because I move my music to a folder called Albums but the music player shows everything on the SD card, even odd ring tones etc and it's abit annoying.
Cheers in advance.

I am doing this.
It is a temp work around until some smart boy does it properly.

Why don't you use playlists. Standard functionality that is working quite well. No need for any tweaks or workarounds.

Because I add music to my sd card daily and always use shuffle. Sorry but doing playlist every day would be a pain. One work-around and I am done.
Until I have a minimum 32GB sd-card that works in HTC I will have to do that.

HD2 + Music on Storage Card

Hey guys, I was wondering if there is anyway of setting only a particular folder to play music from on the storage card. The Sense music player is picking up every audio format e.g. ringtones and playing them???

all i did was create a folder on my mem card called music and my ringtones are on phone mem and music tab didnt find them

Thanks. I thought this was the case, but I have a lot of mp3 ringtones assigned to contacts and moving them all over to the phone memory just wouldn't be viable.

thare are serval discusions on that, around here. actually there is no way from stoping the music tab to play all sondfiles it find on the storage card (or at least only play a single folder). there are serval registry key and stuff but it looks that the music tab is ignoring them and do what it like to do.
mad

you could trim your ring tones or lower the quality of the file depending how many you have and if you can be bothered or just create a playlist and exclude the ringtones that prob the quickest option

Use a file explorer to make all the folders you don't want the Music Player to see, hidden. The phone will still see all of the ringtones etc... but they won't show up in the Media Player. It worked for me.....

sorry for bumping an old thread, I put songs into my SD card in the Music tab, I find WAZE nav sounds ( in mp3), what should I do so the Nav mp3's are not shown in the Music tab?

Question about Music player

Hi
I have recently started to use my HD2 as a music player. Ripping CD's (yes my own) to MP3 and moving the files to my SD card.
The music files are numbered nicely 01, 02 etc. so when you look
in a file explorer the are sorted as on the CD. So far so good
However, when I tab the Music note and look there, the files
are sorted in a way I would describe as randomly.
I can of course solve this by a playlist, but I wonder if
anyone could give me some insight on this.
Thank you

I just got an HD2 last week and ran into the same thing as well. So far the only workaround I've found is to create playlists. If you happen to come across an answer, please post it here.

i put my music on as albums and find that each tune is listed as it appears on the album with no problem at all.

If I understand you correct, you are not just moving folders / files ?

Yes same here. The order of the tracks differs though compared to
File Explorer. Rather annoying

Solved. Ripped the CD using Windows Media Player and then 'synced' the
storage card using the WMP.

Be careful with that, have a search on these forums for using WMP to sync, I seem to remember an issue with one person's HD2. I think it stopped playing the tracks.

I'm very anal when it comes to my music being tagged, so there tagged with everything, are your songs tagged with track numbers?? that might make a difference,
and file explorer wont see them the same as the music tab as the way it sorts the files, date, name etc

I certainly got something to look into.
