i have transfered a mp3 song onto my sd card , does anybody know how to make this my ringtone?....it doesn't show when i try to add new tones is it because its mp3 format or am i missing theobvious :?: :?:
yep your missing something alright :lol:
depending on your operating system.
ringtone files need to be in your windows directory for standard os/2003 & 2003se and need to be wav/mid format
wm2005 works with wav mid wma 3gp wmv from anywhere
no in 2003 ring tones can also be wma
When I got my XDAIIs from O2, it can set wma files as ringtone. Just yesteday after I did a hard reset, my phone has already been unable to read wma files. Do you have any idea why this happened?

is there a way to;
A) change the actual volume of the alert (I know about turning vol up/down) but what I want here is a louder alert when I recieve a message.
B) can I download new wav files to add to the default ones with myxda2i?
B1) if the above is answered yes, can you advise how I install them please?
Thanks

I would like to add to this.
I have downloaded .wav files and copied them into the windows directory, but when I go to listen to them in the sounds and notifications section they don't play, this has happened to all .wav files apart from one so far.
Look for the Nokia sms sound file uploaded somewhere in this forum. it works on my imate pocket pc and is loud.

I've also noticed that many wav files are some how encoded in mp3. So they have a file ext of .wav but ppc will only play pure wav files. If you switch the file ext on the wav's that do not play to .mp3 they will sudenly play in windows media player. this will tel you that it is not pure wav encoding.
if you choose properies of the wav file on the pc
it should ms ad pcm as format then it's a pure bred
puls modulated media
TO assign mp3 to ringtones, a software with a registry modification was suggested. I have tried all this but have not been able to assign mp3's to my ringtones. Any other solutions other than converting to wav or any other format?
Please suggest. will try and give you feedback

In my case, the "add ringtone" program only seems to recognize .WAV files. How can I add a ringtone in .MPA and .WMA format?
Thanks
Hi,
On my qtek 1020, I had set up a mp3 song as my ringtone, but now I want to change it. When I click on other songs, i do not see the Set as ringtone option. I even deleted the song which was set as the ringone, but it still plays as the ringtone, and on other songs I still dont see a set as ringtone option. Whats the best way to change the ringtone?
Thanks
Go to Start->Settings->Phone to set your ringtone.
The ringtone you set is probably now in windows\rings
Hi,
Thanks for that. I was able to delete that ringtone by going to windows/rings but I still dont see "set as ringtone" options for other Mp3's that I have got. I copied an MP3 song to the windows/rings folder, but still dont see it as an ringtone options..any ideas How I could possibly set this up as a ringtone?
Could this have something to do with the file size?
if it's wm2002 it can only use wav ring tones
if it's wm2003 then it can only use wav and mid and wma ring tones
you can make mp3 to wma using the free program CDEX
If you have installed a media player that has associated itself with .mp3 then you will not be able to select mp3s in the settings. You will need to open the player installed and clear the association in settings. If this does not work search for "mp3 ringtone" and you will find the registry setting that you may need to manually change.
Hi,
Could someone please tell me how can I reinstall Window Media Player for my Tornado and where can I download it ?
The reason I need to do this is that my WMPlayer does not work & MP3 can not be used as ring tone.
If I select any MP3 or WMA file in the setting / Sound, it will say the file is corrupted or not supported. My Phone will only play *.mid file as ring tone.
I installed TCPMP afterwards, and my MP3 files are working fine under TCPMP.
Thank you

You can't reinstall a program being in ROM. You need to do an hard reset...
You need to do a registry hack in order to associate your MP3 files with WMP instead of TCMP.
I'll check later which key you need to modify.
Don't think so.
Dont' uninstall WMplayer. I'm sure that you installed PocketMusic on your device, this has made you could'n set ringtone. If you want to set ringtone, you must paste *.wma (windows media audio 9.0 file) in applicationdatas/sound. Good lucks
you can use realtunes if you convert them to wma try google what ever those files's extention is and convert to wma or wav or mp3 or something
ms is not big on supporting compeating formats
problem with ringtones on sd card is that pda's disable sdcards when they are off to save batt
and when it wake up to ring it dont have access to files on the sd card as it wakes up later on
