Ringtones

Ok guys I have looked but can't find. I have used CDx to take 30secs of"Kylie's can't get you out of my head" and have saved it as a .wav file. This has then been added to the phone in the normal manner cool. My question is an issue of size the .wav file is 5.90Mb where as the mp3 was only 549Kb.
Do I have to live with this size issue or am I doing something wrong??
Thanks

Why don't you rip it as a WMA file and the file size will be approx the same as an mp3, and your phone will play it as a ringtone.
If you want it as a text alert it needs to be a WAV file format, and placed in the Windows folder on your phone.

sms alerts

all
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
puls modulated media

MP3's as Ringtones on XDAIIi?

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?

help with ringtone editor

i downloaded the vito ringtone editor for my htc hd2 and was able to make one ringtone but when i try to make more none of my music shows up, can anyone help??? thank you

MP3 Trimmer
Use the pre-installed MP3 trimmer. It will save the file to your
/my documents/my ringtones folder and away you go.
For sms sounds simply place the MP3 file in the root directory of your device.
Good luck

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.
