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 ?

what are you talking about ? Jamin can use mp3's as ringtones - you don't have to convert them to WAV !!!
wav it's the only supported format for WM5?
And what about wma files in windows directory?
I don't understand guys....
I've mp3 file and I'd like to use it as ring tone end/or alarm sound.... can you explain me where I have to put it to be inserted in the sound and notifications list?
You can easily use an MP3 as a ringtone... all you have to do is put it in the folder: Windows/Rings and then you can select it for any of your contacts... alternatively, just click and hold on the MP3 and one of the menu choices is 'Set as Ringtone' this sets your general ringtone as the selected MP3.
Just one little comment: If you are using MP3 for ring make sure they are small (not several MB like normal music) or you will get a delay before you here the ring (maybe several tones long). There are two excellent free apps I found that let you mold your MP3's to ring size:
MPTrim: http://www.mptrim.com/ it will let you cat the length of the file and increase volume if needed.
Second:
http://www.mp3-converter.com/mp3_to_all_converter.htm not only will this let you reduce the bit rate to make the files smaller it lets you re-encode files to and from many different formats.
Final note: You can also use files stored in your SD root (if you have one) but they are very slow to load, and you can use the sound from WMV files without separating it from the video.
Try to use Ringo Mobile from http://www.electricpocket.com/ringo-mobile/

No Way!!
Clock alarm and SMS rings accept just wav files.Just put your wav files in Windows default folder
Many thanks guys! :wink:
Hi guys!
I've still a problem....
I justy put my mp3 in windows/rings dir but if I go to sound and notifications I can't see my mp3 in the list of rig tones...
I tryed soft reset too but the problem is still present.
I installed some sw like Photo Contact and Phone profiler ecc....
Now I have installed WMA Phone Profile and Photo contact (not Pro versione!). Is it possible that those sw can change some config on my Jamin?
Again. MP3 can ONLY be used as RINGTONES. They CANNOT be used for notifications (SMS, MMS, Clock,...).
To use MP3 as ringtones, you only have to copy them to the \Windows\Rings directory.
Enjoy!
Should be added that to select them go to:
Start->Settings->Personal->Phone
Ring tones
Curiouser and curiouser. After upgrading with Jester's 2.2 and installing Pocket Music, I cannot play mp3's as ring tones any more, but I can play .wav files. I can see them both, and both appear to open, but the mp3's are silent..... (both mp3's and .wav files are installed in Windows\Rings directory in this case). Last week the .mp3 files would play but not the .wav files!
.wav files installed in the Windows directory continue to behave as normal, appearing and opening as Notifications.
Can you still play MP3's with the built in WMP?
I suspect Pocket Music overwrote the codec for MP3 or screwed up the registry linking MP3 to it.
No idea how to fix this (short of hard reset though).
Yes, WMP still works just fine. No other impacts seen so far. So I'm happy enough, but would like to understand what happened.....
im geting the ring tone delay of 1 to 2 rings before the phone wakes up, if it wakes up!
my mp3 file is 448k, and im lead to belive from reading on here wav plays as it loads so less delay?
now ive just downloaded a mp3 to wav converter "mp3 file editor v5.11"
it converted my 448k mp3 file to a 4.5mb wav file!
any thing better out there that keeps it small?
Can you alter the quality/compression settings? I would assume you are not looking for studio quality for your ringtone.
that makes sense? my 4.5mb wav file is 1145kbps !!!! need to find a convertor to get it done to something like 128kbps?
any recomendations?
another thing that I don't like in this earlier days as HD owner -.-
I tried to use mp3s and some midis as ringtones but while the default ringtones sound loud yet at 60% volume, the mp3s, wav or midis sound very low...
how to fix?
does it happen only to my hd?
I also think that generally on ringtones the sound is low...
is the a solution for higer volume on ringtone speaker becouse when i put a mp3 as my ringtone it is very quite even on 100% volume
thanks
Did you try with another MP3?
I don't have the problem.
I used to use a program called Power Audio editor to rip 30 seconds of an MP3, save as WAV or smaller mp3 for my old phone. With this sound editing program, you can highlight the sound wave and increase the volume by a certain percentage. Perhaps this might help for the creation of ringtones?
