Try to place your ringtone in windows only instead of windows\rings it worked for me

please remember that if you're on Winmo 6.1 that there is a file size limit. I recommend mp3 trimmer if you're interested in listening to a part of a song.

Folder for alarm sounds

I know where the folder of the phone ringer tones is (windows/rings), but can someone tell me where the folder for alarm sounds is (the sounds you get in the drop down list when you click on the bell icon under clock alarms)?
Yeah does somebody knows this .
im still looking for it
i cant wake up with the ringtones of my clock i want to set another song of my one ?
p.s sorry for my bad english im dutch
Read on another post that the alarm tones will only accept wav files, and that they're located in the windows folder (rather than the rings subfolder). Going to try this out by adding a wav tone to the folder to see if it shows up in the drop down. Anyone know a free & decent wav tone website? Googled a few but all seem pretty crappy.
Or you can turn your mp3 toe wav
but that uses almost 75 mb from mp3 to wav
you can use wma as well according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310961
tested and working
that might be better, then I can convert mp3s to wmas and keep an acceptable file size
thats great news
so i dont have to wake up with that anoying beep sounds hahaha
thnx
just tested it but it doesn't work it didnt play wma files
if got an htc touch cruise with Rom version 1.28.404.2 NLD with wm 6 profesional
so i dont know what i did wrong
got bepe's ROM WWE 0.67 and it ist working. (it's WM6.1)
I just converted mp3 to wma using 4U WMA MP3 Converter and pasted to \windows folder. File is in list and it is playing
yeah but i dont want to install an rom or something like that
just the normal one that came with the phone
so it is imposible for me 2 set another tone
hmm, WMA didn't work for me, dropped a file in the windows folder, doesn't show up in the alarm drop down

WMA didn't work for me either, WAV did show up in the drop down list but would reset to default setting when choosen. I had trimmed the WAV file down to 8 seconds before dropping it in the windows folder.

sound settings conflict (?) problem on SAMSUN OMNIA

hi there,
i've got a samsung omnia with a cooked rom and everything worked for a month until 2 days ago when suddenly the ringtone for an incoming call has been changed (by something i dont know) to the wm default (which i can't hear!)
when i try to change it through the sound settings it switches back to the damned ringtone that i don't even have between the list of ringtones i can choose! it's called ring-WindowsMobile .wma
something could be in conflict with the audio settings because i cannot change ANY sound notify (sms, mms,ecc..). the difference between incoming call notify and the others is that the others notifies are still the same i choose before this "crash" but the incoming call notify has cahnged and cannot be changed back!
i also tried to install some software to administrate the audio settings but has not worked.....
what can i do?sorry for my english and the lenght of the message!
no ideas???
at least some tip to change the ringtone manually from the regisrty or kind of stuff please
all that "changer;" is, is a graphical interface for changing the ringtone. even if you did it manually it would change back with what ever was in conflict.
it could be a program u you installed or a bad flash.
I recomend a hard reset to fix the problem since by your description it sounds like it may have been a program you installed that screwed things up.
I came accross a similar problem to my old TyTN.. it seemed an audio player i installed associated all media files to it.. well that makes sence.. but.. when i assigned an mp3 as a ringtone the ringtone wouldnt play!
associating mp3s with windows media player fixed my problem! maybe something similar happened to you?
check it out.. hope it helps!

I
LOVE
YOU!
you avoided me to hardreset for such a problem like this!
it was resco audio recorder which screwed up the audio settings!
thanks a lot!
ps: when i use wmp or mortplayer to play an mp3 in "MY Storage" or in "My StorageCard" both programs return an error "could not find specified file" i think it's because of the space in the name of the folder which screw up the path..
how can i solve?

Heheh glad you solved it!!
i never use media player or mortplayer for my audio files.. i either use s2p or coreplayer!
dont know whats going wrong on your side :/
try using s2p and see if it returns the same problem! have u tried audio manager?
with audio manager its all ok
but if i set audio manager as default player for mp3 when i tap on a mp3 it opens audio manager with the last file played instead of the selected mp3 and the player stays on pause
anyway...i'll try s2p
thanks again!
thank............

The OS needs WMP for ringtone (mp3, wma, aac, etc.) to work. And since it was deleted (and probably all registry related to it) then you need to make a "fix" for it (in a simple word, thought it's not that simple).
I'd like to help you to make that "fix" (and hope it will works) but currently I'm so far away from home. Or you can search tutorial for building custom rom, find & download a rom kitchen, and try to build your own rom.
HI!
Thanks
you can change ringtones in file explorer as normal "set as ringtone", but only WAV is supported

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.
