mp3 as ringtone

Hi
Does anyone know if I can use an mp3 as my ringtone and how I would go about it?
Thanks

mp3 ringtone
Sorry, you can't use an MP3 as a ringtone. you can only use WAV or additionally WMA files. You must paste the WMA file into the rings directory for it to work. I find the song I want in MP3, open it in a sound editor, just select about 30 seconds of the song, and delete the rest and save it was a WMA, that way you get your WMA ring, the song you like, enough to hear it ring and still save on space.
Hope this helps,

I think there is a sollution!
Check out this cab file!
It's for XDA mini but.....I hope it will work for Q2020!
My phone sounds like that standard "old phone" ringtone!
If you really want to impress someone....try to be different and instead of "top 10 melodies" put something "non-convenctional"
GOOD LUCK!! Hope it will work!

you can use any MP3 as a ring tone just copy it and past it in
-->\Windows-->\Rings . thats it now go to your ring tone settings and you will find it in the tones list.

Won't work for me.
mmm... that doesn't work for me.... even if I do save the mp3 into my rings folder, it still doesn't come up, WMA's will though.
(edit: sorry the link for the patch didn't load first time I see it now.)

It does work with the Himalaya...just put the mp3 file into \windows\rings
Works on my SPV M1000, thats with WM5

It does work, but ONLY if you have the midi patch loaded.
See attached. You can check if you have it if you try do play a midi file: if it sounds crappy you do not have the patch.
This patch also makes MP3 work as a ringtone.
To use any file as a ringotne, put it n the \windows\Rings folder
The patch was part of many ExtROM's

Yes It work.
Mine is O2 Xda II wtih WM5.
I already install MIDI.sa.CAB found in Extended_ROM.
The MP3 file don't have to in Ring folder.
You can store the file anywhere u like and set it as ringtone from Phone or Sound in System.

I'm sorry, not in any folder but it work only in windows/ring folder and storage card folder.

I would also like to try this but as a total novice, what do I do with these files

Alarms - how can I put different sounds in?

Hi
I use my alarm every day to wake me up and the default sounds are just terrible and highly annoying firth thing.
Where do I need to place a sound file so it will appear in the list and I can then select it???
Thanks guys

They need to be in the WINDOWS folder which is in the route of the main memory, then you'll have them listed as text message options and alarm notifications... I know WAV files are picked up, not used other formats...

Yes, only WAV files can be used for Alarm sounds.
If you want to use them as ringtones too, copy them into \WINDOWS\RINGS - you can use MP3s or WAVs in this one.

Also WMA and MIDs if you have them... which includes most of those theme tunes that everyone has!

changing sms tone

is there anyway of changing the sms tone to something that isnt the standard boring ones in the list - like an mp3 or wav file?

Copy your .wav file to /windows
Then go to Settings, Sounds & Notifications
Click on the Notifications tab at the bottom.
Under Event drop down choose the event you want to change the sound to.
I personally never had luck getting mp3's to work for notifications. Only wav files.
Good luck.

what is the settings you all use for this to work with wav? I have converted a ringtone to wav and saved it at 8k 41000 to make the file as small as possible. and its not playing. it plays in media player but wont play as a sms tone.

Yeah, I couldnt get it to work eitherand I used quite a few different formats. Have managed to get ring tones installed no problem, jus the sms tones I cant seem to add to.....
Am using an O2 XDA Mini S, default ROM (with a few registry hacks and apps installed)
Any help is appreciated

they have to be 16 bit 44khz wav files to work as sms tones. use the excellent (free)audacity audio editor to convert

its not posible by the OS but try to rip a mp3 to wav and put it on windows folder. the audio manager does it but it makes wma only ringtones to incoming call, or try photocontacts pro is a nice program that can perform this for you.

how do i make a new ringtone?

Newbie here, I had the 24 CTU ringtone on my old Nokia which worked very well. I am wondering if some has this ringtone on their Desire yet?
If not how can i make one- or maybe someone can make one and post it on here to share?

i dunno this ringtone but you can try ringdroid. you can create ringtones from your songs at any minute or second you want

you don't nead ringdroid the desire has a built in app, play mp3/wav in the music player, menu set as ring tone, then select trim.
done

Try http://www.mabilo.com/ Easy to use and fairly big database

oh i didn't know there was this feature here

thanks for all the replies....BUT, how do I find a quality sounding ringtone (24 CTU) in the first place? does it have to be mp3?

yes, it need to be in MP3 or ogg format, or as already suggested, use the mabilo program and wehen it is installed, search for 24
i'm sure someone would have uploaded something you'll like.
