Music Ring Tones

:? 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.

I mistyped the file format, actually the only compatible formats are .wav and .wma. Sorry for the mislead

Best PC Software for making Ringtone...

I am looking for a PC software to make MP3 ringtones out of my MP3s. I am looking for a software which is easy to use. Easily cut Mp3s by marking Begin & End by buttons like MP3 Cutter, but I am also looking to increase my ringtone volume from within the software more like PocketDivxEncoder. Which one to use??

use nero wave editor this can do all kind of editing and format conversion.

Try this
You can use itunes to convert you music files into mp3 and you can create ringtones with itunes. Just right click on the mp3 file you want as a ringtone and click create ringtone.

I too use Audacity and it's free. Easy to use, I didn't know anything about editing music files and I figured it out...

I have found Mobile Ringtone Converter, its basically modded version of Audacity with the function to increase sound gain. N I am using it for now.

for me goldwave so far, must try

Set Custom Ringtone????

I want to set a custom ringtone. I have some mp3's on my Tilt. I followed these instructions from my phone's manual....
Set an MP3 song as your ringtone
1. Copy the MP3 music file to the My Documents folder on your phone.
2. Tap Start > Settings > Phone.
3. In the Ring type list, select the MP3 song as your ringtone.
I did exactly that and the ringtones are not in my Ring type list. I went to File Explorer to make sure the mp3 was there and it is.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

My Ringtones is the correct folder.

OK, any ideas why it's not working?

Have you tried this?....Tap & hold on the song you want as your ringtone, then select Set As Ringtone.

yea, i tried that too. when i did that it said, 'saved as ringtone' but it wasn't in the ringtone list in the phone settings. i have WM 6.1 installed if that helps any. my song is .mp3 format but i heard that .wma, .mp3, .wav. and .midi all work as ringtones. i tried a 30 second song and a 4 minute song and neither worked. does it have to be a certain size?

i figured it out. my mp3 file was 650kb. i cut it down to 378kb and it works. the length is only 16 seconds now which is fine for a ringtone but does 378kb sound right for a 16 second mp3?

I put them in the windows map, not in a ringtone map.
Just put a small mp3 file in your windows map and then check it.
But i do that only for message tones.
For normal ringtones i made a map in my sd card and called it My ringtones.

I see your problem. Try the \Application data\Sounds folder.

WOW!!!Thank you so much for your help it worked

Where are the existing notification sounds in the device memory? For some reason, when I go to Settings --> Sounds & Notifications --> Notifications, the sounds files from Bing Maps show up in the drop down menu. I would like to remove them. I'm using Energy ROM if it matters.

[Noob Q] How to set ringtone for SMS/call?

There is a default setting ringtone in my LGO3D. How to change customize that to use my own mp3 as a ringtone? Is it possible to set individual ringtone for each contact?
Thanks.

custom ringtones
I created a directory in mnt / sdcard that I named it audio, then I created ringtones directory in it, I put mp3 files there and then reset the phone, mp3 files appeared in a selection of tones

I manage to make it appear in my ringtone selection by placing the audio files in sdcard/media/ringtones. But now it make the audio not appear in music player. Default music player require it to be placed in sdcard/media/music folder.
Is there a way to make the ringtone files able to be browse and select? Any app recomendation? I tried ringo. But the audio files need to be places specific in the sdcard/media/ringtones.

I go into my music press and hold an mp3 song you want at it says use as ringtone
dno if that helps

this works
look on the market for "ringtone maker" it is free and you browse for a song on your library and then crop it and you can either set it is notification ringtone or default call tone
As for the contact assignment i have not tried this but just had a quick look in my contacts and i cant see an option for it.

Ringdroid
I use and enjoy Ringdroid.

Ok, found that ringo pro can do the trick. I hope there is a free way.
