I tried to add a ringtone from Start - Settings - Sounds - Add Ringtone; but I don't see any music files in the list and there is no option to browse. Only a dropdown folder list is there.
Please guide.
Thanks.
Tap and hold music file in file explorer, choose "set as" (not sure about translation) and choose what event you want to assign it to.
Or you may copy the ringtone files into the folder \My Documents on the storage card. Then they will be found.

Can the Universal Play mp3 or wma files as ringtones thru the standard contacts application? I see where to assign ringtone but my wma tones are not shown. I placed them in a folder in the mydocuments folder in the internal memory. Do they need to go into a different folder? Or do I have to use a third party application?
Also, in WM5 I dont see a Windows folder when I select Explore thru active synch. In WM2003 inside of the Windows folder I had a Favorites folder. I am looking for this folder to copy and paste a few links I saved on my PC from my Jam.
Thank you for your help!

Sorry, I figured it out. Ill leave the post just in case someone else runs into this problem. I had my file settings to not show hidden files. Changing that to show all files I now have the Windows folder. The ringtones go into the windows\rings folder and under windows there is the folder for favorites.

If you have MP3 or WMV files go to the option of the file u we be able to set that file as ring tone... Windows automatically copy that file in to Ring folder and shows u in ring tone list for u from Phone.
Hey,
is there any chance to change the ringe tone directory? I already read some threads. But changing directory in regedit HKCU\controlpanel\soundcategories\ring did not work
I aslo read that i might not be possible to change rings directory to SD-Card because of insufficient access speed to card... Is that right?
Thanks for update...
Anybody?
Thx...

What's the purpose of changing the default ringtones directory? You can still put your ringtones wherever you like and select them with File Explorer....
I have set in registry to point to my storage card.
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring
Directory = \Storage Card\Rings
where "Rings" is a sub folder inside my Storage Card.

yes,he can do this by file explorer, but when i select an mp3(for ex.) it copy that to rom of device, (without MMC it will work)...this will populate the memory
Well, it seems that WM6 can see ringtones in root of storage card so there's no need for any registry tricks (it doesn't work either) just copy all your ringtones there and select it from Sound&Notification option in Settings...
I'd advise not putting ringtones into a Storage Card. Most of the time it will be OK, but sometimes, the initialisation time of the card will mean the phone won't ring till after the call gets transferred to VM.
MP3 and WMA ringtones need the initialise the WMP kernel to play, which adds to the time taken to activate.
Just copy the ringtone you need to \Storage Card\My Documents
works fine to my wm6.
thanks.
You can also create a folder on the storage card called 'My Ringtones' and it works
10X maxxtech,
its work!
The other trick is to shorten the mp3 down to about 15 to 20 seconds of the actual part of the song etc you want.
This keeps the file size right down.
sorry to bring back a really old thread, but i figured its better than creating a new one...
I havea question, I added ringers of *.wma's to my \windows directory, but when I go to Sounds & Notifications, I dont see any of my added ringtones, am I doing something wrong here?
In the Registry, the location for rings states the "\Windows\" directory...
nobody!?!?!
sorry, double post!

I use to use root explorer to move special ringtones into the notification sounds. Since we don't have a sticky recovery the ringtones are not staying in that folder after a restart, is there anyway to push ringtone files through adb into specific folders that are read only?
I can't help with commands to force it into that folder, but I do know a way you can get them to show up as options for the notifications sound.
Create a folder named "media" on the root directory of the SD card. Inside of that folder, create one named "audio". Create a folder inside of audio, named "notifications". Place any mp3 files you want to use as notification sounds in this folder, and they will appear as options.
So thats:
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications/song.mp3
Hope this helps!

what about alarm clock ringtones
can i do the same or shall i create another folder?!
You can also set them through Mediascape. Just press options once a track OS selected and you will now have the option to set as ringtone.

Yep, once you set as a ringtone it will always be available on your list after that so you can switch back and forth without having to open the folder again.
P.S. you can put them in any folder you want to, you don't have to name it "ringtones"
I can't seem to open any app that will let me search for files, and they don't show up in the "music" folder that I get when I try to press the + in the ringtones folder.

I moved the files I wanted to use as ringtones into the Ringtones folder. (It's possible I actually wound up creating that folder as well, but I don't recall now.) I don't believe I've had issues with any app not letting me navigate to that folder to set a ringtone if the contents of that folder did not show up by default.
There are three files on the internal \ sdcard: Alarms, Notifications and Ringtones. These are empty on initial setup. You can put files in those folders and they will then appear in the drop-down list in the dialogues for setting, respectively, Alarms, Notifications and Ringtones.
