2/ I'm looking for the software to watch films. Pls advise me what software can give the best pictures & fully sreen.
3/Can I use CD music to be ringstone. The way to do it.
Thank you very much in advance.
Hi Baloo,
Ok, let's do it step by step:
1) CD to SD:
For this you can use Audiograbber, which gets the audio tracks from your CDs (as long as your CDs aren't copy protected, otherwise you'll might run into troubles) on your PC and converts them into MP3 tracks. These MP3s you can put onto your SD card (using a card reader or via cable).
2) Watching films on your device:
Normally all PocketPCs come with windows media player, which can be used to view videos too. As I personally dislike WMP, I use BetaPlayer, which is a very nice video player and is able to play AC3, MP4, AVI films and also MP3 audio files.
3) Music as ringtones:
After having done the steps mentioned in 1), you should be able to use your MP3 files as ringtones too. I'm using the term "should be", because this depends on the capabilities and settings of your PocketPC (normally it should work, but there are some users who reportet problems - for more information just use the search function of this forum). As an alternative you also can use WAV files (they also can be made with Audigrabber) as ringtones, but they are about ten times larger in file size.
Just a little further note:
When using MP3s or WAVs as ringtones, you should place them on the internal memory of your device, because otherwise they may not be played (SD cards need some time to be activated when the PocketPC returns from sleep mode).
As a complete MP3 music file normally is about 4 MB of size (which is a lot), you should edit the MP3 you want to use and shorten it to about 20 seconds (look here, too). With this, you keep your memory and have your personal ring tone too

Hi All,
I downloaded and installed DivX (Not as part of the special ROM) and I can't get it to play any sound ? I can play MPG files ok but without sound.
Is there anything I need to do to enable it ? I have checked volume and also checked that audio is enabled. Sound works fine in Media player.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Ta,
Rob.
hey mate
is your mpeg stored in the xda or in the storage card? if it's the latter; had the same problem a while back. what i did was stored an mpeg file in my storage card; creating folders and putting the file in one of them. used pocket tv and divx and no sound. took me while to figure it out; what i did was simply stored the mpeg file directly into the storage card; no folders. result; sound was there. posted this problem a while back but no one was able to figure it out. strangely it only occurs with mpeg; not with mp3s.
cheers

pockettv
Can you recomend pocket tv?
not quite sure if to get it or not
I like it and if you dont then the option of removing it again is always there
video clips on xda
pocket tv is only program that seems to run all my video clips without problem. Some wouldnt recognize the clip format(even mediaplayer while pc mediaplayer played clip fine) or no sound(arghhhhhhhh)
I have an XDA 1 and have been trying to copy CDs to it to use as an MP3 player. U used Windows Media Player to convert the CD but when I try to get it to copy to the XDA it says 'System Path not found'. I don't really understand the software or how I'm meant to do it. Can anyone help please? Thanks v much.
cant you just sync the files to the xda ?
or open activesync and choose explore and copy them to it`?
Are the files on the CD in mp3 format? if so, just copy them. (you can also adjust bitrate with SoundForge to reduce the size)
If you want to copy an AudioCD, in explorer (like Total Commander) you will only see links. Than it would take a little time to rip the CD... :twisted:
Easiest method is to copy the files to an SD card and plug that in to the XDA, but I would use WMA rather than MP3.
WMA files tend to be about 1/2 the size of MP3 and the only problem that I have found is that they fail to accurately reproduce low volume, low frequency complex sound (try the intro to most early Metallica or Motorhead tracks - it is reproduced as a warbling sound).
:? I have a XDA2 and want to use Pink Floyds Money as my ring tone. I have got this track on my SD card in a mp3 format but have not got a clue what to do. If anyone can help me I would be really gratefull. I will need step by step instructions. Email [email protected]
You will have to get a WAV / WMA or MID version of the file.
Then via settings / system tab / add ringtone you can select the file.
or; play the song via media player. make sure you know which part of the song you want to use as a ringer...can't be the whole whole song since you're bound to answer the phone anyway... at the same time use your notes app; press the recorder. you'll have to be a little quick; when the song / part you want is coming get ready to record it. you can record like 30 seconds worth...that's enough considering you won't be listening to the whole song before you answer the phone. from there test the recorded sample; rename it then paste the file in the ring's folder of windows. select it in your phone app as your ringer and there you go. oh; make sure that the microphone agc setting is in the "disabled" mode for the auto-adjust volume. also make sure the volume of the unit (the pda; not the phone) is down a notch. recording quality is quite good; mighty handy when you can't find the wav file on the internet. i use the muppet's "manamana" song; i was able to use this as a ringer via the process i discribed above.
cheers

If you wanna be able to access and use music files (mp3 and wma format) located in your sd card as ringtones, you may also consider changing the registry setting. Here is the step by step advice
1. Install regedit in your device (in case you haven't had it yet)
2. Open the regedit and look for the following values
HEKY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/Ring
Then under Ring Folder -> tap Directory, you'll see that the default directory is set to be \Window\Ring. You can change that directory to your preference (e.g. \Storage Card\My Music\). Soft-reset the unit. At this stage, all music files in MP3 and WMA format can be accessed directly from the storage card
3. Go to Phone->Tools->Options->Ring tone, and select whatever song you prefer using a your ringer.
Note that evey time someone calls you, the device will locate the songs at the specified location (e.g. SD card) and hence the ability to play the ringer properly also depends on the speed at which the device and the SD card interact.

Tried that, it doesn't work? :?
dont think mp3 will work at all
make it wma using cdex
Oops!! Excuse me

I mistyped the file format, actually the only compatible formats are .wav and .wma. Sorry for the mislead
Can anyone tell me (and I really do need it explained very very simply) how I can put a bit of music on to both my PDA and a storage card. I have put a song from one of my CDs as my ring tone, but it is taking up zillions of megabytes and I'm sure there must be a way of copying it over in a smaller, or more compact format.
Any thoughts would be very welcome. Thanks.
Also; and this may be the same idea: Can you download a video onto the storage card, so that you could play it back some time, or is this in the realms of fantasy again; I would guess that the size of the file would be the problem again here.
Thanks for any suggestions.
use the program it's free and is called cdex
it makes cd's into wma or mp3
then you can
1 copy the music to my pocketpc documents located in my documents and sync your device
2 use explore in activesync and copy the music that way
3 put your sd card in a sdcard reader and copy the files to the card as you would to a disk
Can anyone suggest any software to me that can sync music to my device (or to my memory card plugged into USB), but that will also convert the file formats aswell?
Reason I ask is some of my media is FLAC (lossless, but huge) format which I don't think my HTC would play, and even if it did, they are far too big to be putting on it - unless I can get hold of a 200Gb Micro-SD Card!
Also, some of the MP3's I have are 320Kbps, but when playing them on my phone through the stereo in the car, you can't tell the difference in quality from a 160kpbs file - so I'd rather save space on the SD card if possible.
I started using Winamp Android Wi-fi Sync which I liked, but doesn't convert.
Any ideas?
For converting I use http://www.formatoz.com/ it works with a lot of formats, is just good
