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.

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?

hi
how can i select music tracks as the ringtone please? When i go into options, notifications and alerts the sample tracks appear in the list but my own music i've put on the phone isn't there? Also could someone tell me how i can get the alerts etc as loud and as easy to recognise as possible as i keep missing calls etc. i've put all volumes up to max and turned vibration on whilst ringing .. anything else i can do?
thanks

Put the mp3's on your storage card or drop them in the windows folder in file explorer, check sounds & notifications and your music should appear under the ringtone tab
Use the "File Explorer", go to your musicfile and tap and hold on it, and you can set it as ringtone

To use an mp3 as a ringtone you need to drop the files into My Documents/My Ringtones
For alert sounds use the windows folder.
I was having the same issue but does this mean the ringtones that i have on my SD card will be taking memory space from the device. I dont want to use my device memory for my music and ringtones. I found out that i can just add them directly to my Storage Card, but if i add them to a folder within the Storage Card, once i go to select a tone from the drop list it wont show any of my custom ringtones.
I've probably held down on a music track and seen "Add as Ringtone" probably a million time but when I read the initial question there was no chance in hell I would have even thought of it.
Thanks for reminding me.
I have the Touch Pro for Verizon and it has an MP3 Trimmer app. You can use this app to import an mp3 and trim it to the part of the song that you want, and set it as a ringtone.

You can put your ringtones in a folder on your micro SD card, I have mine in: \Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones
and they show up in "Sounds & Notifications"
But just as mrvanx stated above, you have to put them in: \Windows to have them show up for alerts, like new text messages.
I also use Audacity to trim my music files for ringtones, it works great.
Does somebody know how to force Leo to play ringtones with mp3 extension? I already added some mp3's to windows/rings folder, but system doesn't see them.
its probably easiest using the MP3 Trimmer on the phone under the "MULTIMEDIA" folder...
Put the mp3 file in the "My Documents"-folder in the root of the mobile, not on the SD-card.
That is to say:
root/My Documents/mp3file.mp3
This mp3-file will work for both ringtone and sms-tone.
Hiya!
I am very curious if my Random Ringtone app works on the Leo.
If anybody wants to try it that would be appreciated.
If it doesnt work I would of course make it work.
Thanks in advance...

Meery Nwe yaer!
I have a folder called "my ringtones" in my documents on the device (not the sd card). Try adding some mp3's there! Works for me! You also wanna trim ur mp3's using a PC app couse the mp3 trimmer in WM sux bigtime!
Big thanks for You buddies for Your help but unfortunatelly - none works on my device. I already try to put my mp3 ringtone to My Documents and My Ringtones (later) folder as well, but system still doesn't see my mp3's . What's going on?. It can't be so difficult! Tell me - how do You set up Your ringtone on Your device? Settings/Sound&Display/Ringtone (or Notification Sounds)?
OK. After Soft Reset UMISS'es method works! Own ringtones are visible for system in My Documents folder. Thank You pal.

Hoi Gandalf
you should put the MP3 in : Computer\ HD2 T8585\\\My Documents\My Ringtones
Alarm sounds: are stored in the Windows dir

mp3 as ringtone
this setup is very simple:
take the built-in file explorer and go to mp3 folder. choose your favourite mp3 file, long tap on it and then "set as ringtone"
it works for me with my hd2

Hello
Do NOT waste valuable space from main memory for the mp3 ringtone which placed in My documents or /Windows.
Place the mp3 files in the root of the SD card without folders. It will show up and works great and You do not have to worry about flashing any custom rom. The files in the SD card stays.
Good luck
Happy new year

Pegasus,
Sometimes life is so simple. Thank you very much, your solution is the ONE. Works wonders.
reg. fred
for ringtones, u can have the mp3 in anywhere phone or SD memory, directly choose the file to be used as a ringtone in the file explorer...
for other notifications or messages or alarms, convert the file to wav and copy it to /windows folder ...then go to settings->menu->all settings->sounds and notifications n select the tune for the specific event.
HTC HD2 or iphone?
Hello guys. i was getting ready to buy an HD2 but now i see that simple things like diffirent mp3 for calls or for a caller or sms, alarms etc. are configured so hard, along with other hard questions like the difficult customizing of the hd2 have started make me thing again of the iphone. You people that alredy have an HD2 what do you suggest me? i do really care much about the easyness of synchronizing and the ability to synchro with other progs other than outlook. What would you suggest me?
Keep in mind,
if u use this Ringtone App u can change your ring directory as well as have multiple rings for each alarm.
thanks,
Keith
I used Mp3 trimmer to cut a song short. Now I cant seem to remove it from the device as I cant find it anyway. But it is still shoing up on the ring tone menu.

I dont seem to have a Windows folder on my HD2, but when trying to make the folder I was told I cant as it alreayd exists. Tryping the address into the bar tells me that it doesnt exist.... So I assume Windows Mobile Device Center is crap.

There's nothing difficult in changing the sounds. As you can see, there are many ways how to do that and they all work (for most users). There is nothing more simple then just copy your desired ringtones to windows folder and then just set it up.
Buying an iphone would be a terrible mistake, it's an old and inferior device compared to HD2.
MP3 Ringtone on SD Card
It's not recommended to save MP3 or any other big files into device memory. copy your MP3 files only to your "Storage Card".
It's so easy, just copy your MP3 song(s) to "\Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones" folder (and if you don't have "My Ringtones" folder just create one).

I've added some custom ringtones to the ringtones folder, but it's also showing up in my media player and it's annoying. Is there a way to fix this?

I just change the tags for artist and album to ringtone. At least it keeps them grouped together.
I just came across this from androidforums.com, posted by user keredini.
Get a File Manager (like Astro), mount the drives to your windows machine, or use the 'My Files' application to do the following:
Remember you have your internal SD card (the 16GB one that comes with the phone, it is located in the file system on the phone as \sdcard), and your external (removable) SD card that you provided (it is located in the file system on the phone as \sdcard\sd)
you need to create a folder on the internal SD card for your ringtones.
Create the following directory:
\sdcard\media\audio\ringtones
more than likely there will be a notifications folder in the same place, just create the new folder there. Move all your ringtones into that folder. Once the file(s) are moved, media scanner should run.
From there the ringtones will no longer show in the default media player (mine were also removed from cubed which is the player i use), but are still accessible when selecting 'Phone Ringtone' when assigning ringtones.

Sounds like the solution we were all looking for. Thanks to the OP!
Edit: I just tried it out, looks like it didn't work for me
I put mine in sdcard\media\ringtones and Music Player doesn't see them.

this worked for me!!!
backup the ringtone >
open music player and delete it from there >
convert ringtone to .wav (not .ogg) >
transfer it to phone >
you may need to open a file explorer and
manually open each sound to get them
to register in menus
reset your ringtones and notifications
***don't forget to reset sms notification

select ringtone
All I did was copy one of my nomedia files to my ringtones folder and they don't show in media player. With extended rings it doesn't interfer with setting it as a ringtone
sent from Goth Droid
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.
