I'd like to use MP3's as ringtones but it seems like the the XDA will only allow .WAV files. I have put the MP3s in the Ringtones folder but the ringtone select option only shows me the .WAVs.
Am I missing something or am I limited to .WAVs only?

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
Pete
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

There is a patch for magican that can support mp3 as ringtone and i dont know if it is support xda IIi.
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.
any one know how to ...
set the mp3 on the memory card to the ringtones ???
Not setting it to the SD card, but just copy the mp3 file you want as a ringtone to your phone's My Documents/My Ringtones folder and it will show up in available Ringtones.

I have saved my mp3 music in my storage device/ then I was able to set my ring tones and other tones from that.
I had to convert to WAV and put it in the root of my sd card, then it showed up in the list of available ringtones.
Make SD card/My Ringtones folder, copy *.mp3 to SD card/My Ringtones folder and set ringtone, but SMS ringtone, copy *.mp3 to windows\ folder and set ringtone for SMS.
I always copy my mp3 ringtone on \My Device\ApplicationData\Sounds folder.
The mp3 will automatically added to your ringtone list.
Thats very weird how there are so many different ways to do it but with mine i didnt have to create new folders or convert the songs.
Hoping someone can help me get my head around using these .nomedia files for audio in ICS - I have a bunch of ringtones etc. sitting in the media/audio/.. folders with a .nomedia file at the top level so these audio files don't show up in my music player, but by having that file there, I can no longer set them as my ringtone/alarm/notification. How can I have audio files show up in the sound choosers, but not the music app?

I'm not sure if this will be applicable to you. In my phone, all the ringtones are stored in the folder /sdcard/ringtones and these ringtones won't get read by the music app that I'm using, which my case is Google's Music Player. My songs are all stored in the folder /sdcard/music, the songs in it show up in the music app.
Thanks wlteh, I'll give that a try and see how it goes I'd read somewhere that additional ringtones were supposed to go in the /sdcard/media/audio/.. folder, but maybe that changed with ICS?
Do you have separate folders for ringtones, alarms, notifications in the /sdcard/ringtones folder?
