mp3 for alarm

hi
is there any way to add an mp3 for alarm?

You have to convert them to .wav and put in the windows folder.

use Pocket Alarm

Also alarmToday or SPBTime

.wma will also work nicely, and files are a lot smaller than .wav.

You put them in the \Windows folder (as opposed to \Windows\Ringtones). A full guide, with screenshots, is available here: http://pocketpccentral.net/help/new_alarm_file.htm

Custom alarm ringtones

I've been having some trouble setting a custom ringtone as an alarm on my X1. I have saved the file as a .wav and put it in the windows folder. It shows up in the drop down list, but when you select it, it automatically goes back to 'default'. Anybody know how to fix this?

what, anybody?

You converted it to a .wav or just saved it as a .wav ?
sounds like you might have the right extension, so it shows in the list, but if it's not a valid wave file it just goes back to default.

Drag the .wav file into this folder \my documents\my ringtones

It is not necessary to use wav files
If you have a mp3 file, just drop it into your phone

Sigh.....don't listen to this dude....if you have mp3, you can't just drop it into your phone.
You have to put it in the ring tones folder...like I said....

Yes, I forgot to say it must be in the ringtones folder

My alarm wont play MP3's.

I'm not having a problem with ringtones.
It's the alarm clock I'd like to play these sounds. In the alarm clock dropdown menu, the ringtones from the 'my ringtones' and 'sounds' folders do not show up. Previously, placing .wav files in the windows folder would allow them to appear there. And they do appear, but when they are selected, it just goes back to the 'default' sound (one short quiet beep).
The files are saved in .wav format. I've only been having this problem since updating my X1's firmware with the Sony Ericson Update Service.
Anybody know what to do?

I don't know if this works but try placing them in the windows folder, the my ringtones folder, and the my music folder.

I'm using a custom .wav file (converted the old SE Badbarber.MP3 to .wav) for the alarm and only had to drop it into the windows folder for it to show up in the list and be able to use it.

On your external SD, try creating:
/Notifications
/Ringtones
Put it in Notifications and reboot.

Will it show in Alarms if you remove it from Alarms but leave it in Music?

No, there is no option that I found under alarms to play a music file at all. Just the stock ones provided.

Try this:
In your Alarms folder create a blank file called .nomedia
