Can't use WMA and MP3 as ringtones

I am putting WMA and MP3 ringtones into the windows/ring folder of my i-mate (original like XDA2) but they just won't appear in the ringtone selection menu. They also don't have the option to "set as ringtone" when you press and hold on them. Any ideas anybody?

I have managed to get shortened mp3s in my ringtones but when the phone rings the tune has gaps in it - in time with the rings rather than just playing the tune.
Any ideas ?

What I have discovered is that if I encode the music into WMA but at a low bit rate, say 40kHz in mono, then it will work as a ringtone. Maybe the same could be true for MP3s?

Do they play as tunes or is there little gaps like a ring tone ?

sms sound

Is it possible to make sound of a notification mp3 file?
It seems to support only .wav..=(
the only way to set mp3 ringtone on sms is programm called Ringo. but it changes phone-calls sounds too which is not good as I use PhotoContacts for this - it's better imho.
any other solutions???
thanks)

I've spend some time playing with regestry and here is what i found.
all notifications (including sms delivery sound) are played by album.exe programm. it can't play .mp3 files (but it can play .mp4 that's why you can freely use them as ringtones).
I tried to make .wav play not by album.exe but with windows media player (wmplayer.exe) - but it doesn't support .wav, too...
also I tried to make tcpmp play .wav - but it seems to me it doesn't understand command line params...=|
the thing I want is to find another player to play all system sounds and by that make .mp3 sounds for notifications.
or make .mp3 sounds on notifications in any other way

TCPMP plays everything, including - if you download the codec, AAC.

it does, but it doesn't support command line.
if in registry in file assosiations you write for .mp3 "player.exe "%1""
it wouldn't play that file.. =|
and btw I tried using another player which supports everything - but it didn't solve the problem. notifications don't look at what player is set - they directly play wave sounds or directly start album.exe - I don't know.
Even ringo doesn't disable it - it sets "silent" wave on notification and plays another sound itself at a same time - how it cathes incoming sms - I don't know...must be some .dll in memory which does it.

did u try to rename your player in to album.exe?

Finaly It seems to me that notifications are played without any player. notifications does it itself.
I just converted sound I wanted into wav and forgot about it...don't have time now for searching for another solution.

Ringtone

Hi,
I have just been to www.comparethemeerkat.com and there is now a download section, you can download ringtones and backgrounds etc..
As I am a big fan of the jingle, I thought I would let every one else know about it..

Play sound file during a call

Sorry for mine really bad english I have a question ,,, I want to know how to play a sound file like mp3 when i call someone,, its a joke mp3 file...
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App

Do you want your phone to play the mp3 file through the speaker or play the mp3 to the called person instead of you own voice.

I'd like to play the mp3 to the called person instead of my own voice. Is it possible in Android Enviroment?
Thank you

Audio over phone
I'd like to this on WinMo 6.5, sort of a way to build my own AAC device. I have lost my voice and have some prerecorded messages I would like to hit a button and play the mp3 or wav through the call and speakers so I know they heard it, it can be while on speakerphone which would be better.
Any ideas thanks, or if some dev has time to make an app with buttons to label and tag a wav file to.
TIA,
James
