Have you plugged the phone into your computer and copy pasted the file over?
I am not sure where to start, how new are you to smartphones?

I am pretty new. I have not pasted the file over. I guess mainly I am just wanting to know what directory I need to put the file in? Do I need to create a directory? I have Droid Explorer working, and Root Explorer installed on the phone.

Ringtones:
path /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
ringtones. note, they must be of a certain size, I cant remember what, but it will tell you at the time of assignment
Notifications:
path /sdcard/media/audio/notifications
ditto to the ringtones.
NOTE:
/sdcard is what android sees it as.
When you mount it in to your computer, it will just be /media/audio/ringtones.
I'd also like to suggest Free application RingDroid http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.ringdroid for on-phone editing of ringtones from sound files. Very useful, very friendly, works quite well.

The file directory is:
sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
You should be fine using the default My Files app and not Root Explorer. Make sure to convert the MP3 to a WAV file.

DO you have to use WAV? I use mp3s for my ringtones and they work just fine..

mp3s are fine. and no size restriction. i've used up to 5meg files. it only plays the first 30 seconds, but it doesn't seem to have a size restriction.
if you want a specific part of the song, i recommend Audacity. easy free audio editor

ok, I created a folder /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
I then dropped a 1MB MP3 into that folder, I then noticed in the notification bar that the media scanner had started. But when I go to the sound and display menu and look under voice call ringtones, the mp3 I put in there isnt in the list. How do I get android to add it to the list?
Edit: Nevermind. I found out what was going on. Android browser had downloaded the mp3 and for some reason gave it the file extension of .mpga Once I renamed it from *.mpga to *.mp3 it worked fine.

You do not need to create /sdcard, it is the main directory. I also recommend converting the MP3 to WAV.

why do you recommend it? there isn't any need to convert the file...is it just personal preference?

THE free trial version of audacity now overlays a "Voice Logo" on any file you use it to create - basically every 5 seconds you hear "AVS Media Demo"
i tried using it last night to edit the mp3 file from that samsung promotional video
ended up downloading adobe audtion 3, you get full use of the program, free for 30 days with no logo overlay

XDA1 as MP3

I have an XDA 1 and have been trying to copy CDs to it to use as an MP3 player. U used Windows Media Player to convert the CD but when I try to get it to copy to the XDA it says 'System Path not found'. I don't really understand the software or how I'm meant to do it. Can anyone help please? Thanks v much.
cant you just sync the files to the xda ?
or open activesync and choose explore and copy them to it`?
Are the files on the CD in mp3 format? if so, just copy them. (you can also adjust bitrate with SoundForge to reduce the size)
If you want to copy an AudioCD, in explorer (like Total Commander) you will only see links. Than it would take a little time to rip the CD... :twisted:
Easiest method is to copy the files to an SD card and plug that in to the XDA, but I would use WMA rather than MP3.
WMA files tend to be about 1/2 the size of MP3 and the only problem that I have found is that they fail to accurately reproduce low volume, low frequency complex sound (try the intro to most early Metallica or Motorhead tracks - it is reproduced as a warbling sound).

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.
HTH,

Tried that, it doesn't work? :?
dont think mp3 will work at all
make it wma using cdex

MP3 Ringtones - how set it up?

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...
HowdyKeith
and Random Ringtones
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

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"

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).

[Q] How to take advantage of SRS with another player?

Hello!
I've got my Sensation yesterday
Loving it, despite of the bugsss
I see that Sensation can config SRS in the default player, wanna use it with speakers
But I rarely use the default player =\ .. mostly mSpot and I'm thinking of testing Google Music, both having their "custom" players
Is it possible to take advantage of SRS with any other streaming music player?
Or make the default player see the songs downloaded by mSpot? (yea.. I wasn't able to make it do that )
That's weird, cuz it can find musics downloaded by "MP3 Music Download". And it's not the codec either, it's m4a by mSpot.
Thanks in advance!
SRS and Dolby 5.1 are only available through stock apps from my experience. To get your media to show up in the stock app use an app that causes a new media search. SDRescan is free on the market. I use Extended Controls.

Thanks for your reply.
I tried the SDRescan, but it didn't work =\
I've also rebooted the phone.. it just doesn't see the mSpot folder -.-
I'm not familiar with mSpot. You say it stores m4a files on your phone? Try to look for the directory with Astro or Estrong. I'm betting they aren't there or are in a hidden directory. Make sure you set the file manager to show hidden files. Check mSpot to see if there is a setting that allows you to hide media from the Android system. Subsonic has a setting like that.
I did a test copying the mSpot file to another folder.. it was able to see the music
So I guess the file is not the problem
But still can't make it to scan mSpot folder

The files are there. Didn't find any setting like that.
I think I'm just gonna try Google Music (to sync) and play them with default player
Thanks, though!
Oh.. I found a file named ".nomedia" inside mSpot's folder
After deleted that file, it was able to scan the folder ^^
But the song's properties (song name, singer, album..) are encrypted, so they're all messed up XD can't use it!
Just gonna try Google Music..
Use Volume+.

That sucks man. DRM sucks. Yeah any folder with a file .nomedia or any folder that begins with a . is hidden from a media scan. The period first in the name is how you label a file or folder hidden in Linux.

[GUIDE] Turn tunein radio recordings into mp3's

So it has annoyed my for a long time that i couldn't take the recordings from tune in radio and listen/transfer them to my pc/mp3 player. this is a step by step guide on how to do it.
*important* make sure you know what format you made the recordings in (mp3/aac). just look on the right hand side of the track progress bar while recording live (see screenshot below) in this example it is recorded in aac. tune in will automatically record in mp3 format usually.
so, once you have the recording saved, connect your phone to pc via usb. navigate to your tunein folder, usually mnt/sdcard/tunein. find the recording you want to listen to/copy, it will look something like this; 20111131-074437. copy it over to your pc.
now, just add .aac or .mp3 to your file name. (.aac or .mp3 depending on what it was recorded as)
good? done! that's it. you now have your tunein recording as a readable file on your pc. if you want to remove ads/tracks in the recording, use an audio editor to do so. i use this; http://www.nch.com.au/splitter/index.html
it should be noted that for recordings 50mb+ it can be hit or miss with this method. so try to keep your recordings below about 2 hours long...
Need update
This method no longer works. Is there an updated process for exporting the recordings?
Hello ,
I am using Tunein for my Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android Ice Cream) and i am very happy with it .
I tryed to use the Recording for an Interview of mine.
In my screen (when the station played) i saw the *wma format.
Was exactly the same like ur attached pictured but with the wma as the format .
Recording it and i hearing it from my phone was fine.
Later i tryed to copy it and played in my PC.
I was very sad when i realized that i couldn't hear it or even opened it .
The recorded File didnt had any extation , so when i copyed to the Pc, could not recognized what program to use in order to play it.
Looking in the internet i saw several technik's but with No results . I also downloaded some wma convertes .
The problem is that Windows can not recognize the file .
When i simple change the extension to *wma (as u say in ur Post) again didnt worked.
PLz Help me ,
how i could play the file ( of my Radio Interview) in my PC and use-convert it as a common for exaple *mp3 file .
Tnk you .
I wish you a Happy New YEAR 2013

If it was streamed in wma format then thats what you have to save it as. Now, on PC vlc player can play wma files, if it doesn't for you then try installing the k-lite codec pack. that should take care of it.
I have same issue. Just recorded some radio (.aac) to test on nexus 7 using tune in pro. Changed name to.aac format and can not play back on nexus.

I tried this a year or so ago, and it failed - I used Windows Media Player, and Cool Edit Pro. Upon seeing your suggestion I tried it again, but with Audacity. So far, it works on the first few files. Will it work on the remainder? I hope so. Oh, The Hope of Audacity
HOW TO Play TuneIn Radio Recordings
TuneIn Radio Pro makes recordings in whatever format (MP3, AAC, WMA, etc) a source streams in,
but does not create legal container files, making recordings (deliberately) hard to play outside of TuneIn.
To determine the format of a given source, start a manual recording and note the format shown on the TuneIn screen.
To play a recording, copy the file from the TuneIn folder on the device to a computer,
and then rename the file to give it an appropriate file extension; e.g., .mp3 for MP3 audio.
The file should now be playable in VLC Media Player.
To play in other players less forgiving of file format issues, it will need to be converted with a tool like foobar2000 or Audacity.
Even VLC Player can convert those files into mp3 or whatever else

I am able to open TuneIn Radio recordings with VLC or Audacity on my Mac. I can also, apparently, export the files or selections in various formats, including MP3. But how do I do that without re-encoding them?
Does anyone know a way, even perhaps using a hex editor or unix commands, to convert TuneIn Radio recordings of mp3 streams into generally-recognizable mp3 files by changing the envelope but without re-encoding the actual audio content?
TIR?
My recordings are being saved as .tir and when I change it to mp3 or aac, nothing happens. I have tried opening it in Audacity, foobar, vlc, and regular windows media player.
Is there another setting I need to do in Tune In Pro?
I am using Tune In Pro on an iphone and ipad, JB with 6.1.2

1. Where's the .tir file extension coming from? TIP creates recordings here with no file extension.
2. What's the format of the stream you're recording? As I explain in reply #9, TRP saves the stream in its native format, so you need to check the stream for the actual format before giving it an appropriate file extension. You'll have the least trouble with MP3, so record an MP3 stream if possible.

You might want to try MP3 Analyzer (fix and repair mp3 errors) in Helium Music Manager.
I've never tried it, but it sounds promising, and there is a free version.

I'm having the same issue as the previous poster with my iPhone and TuneIn Pro. I was listening to the BBC World Service earlier this morning (on my local NPR station, michiganradio.orgg and recorded the segment on the Cyprus bailout (which was really good by the way. absolute theft from the depositors without democratic process). I pressed record in TuneIn, did some Google'ing, downloaded and installed iExplorer, exported the recording (which had a .tir extension) to my desktop, and attempted to rename to .wav/.mp3. No VLC playback. I'm worried there might be some DRM in the file...anyone want to take a look and see what they might be able to do with the recording?
I've uploaded it to my Dropbox - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1308556/recording.tir

That is different that what Android recordings look like. I couldn't get it to play in anything, seems like a format specifically for TuneIn, .tir probably stands for TuneIn Recording. On Android the recordings are simply in the same format as the stream since reencoding them in real time would waste CPU/battery. It seems like on the iPhone it would be the same way, but it appears not to be. Did you try searching the iPhone developers forum, its a sister site to XDA and there may be info over there.

same situation - no playback by VLC etc.
additionally I can hear only 1 (probably left) channel during playback using Tunein on my phone (S III) - who has similar observations?
one comment - name of the recorded stream is named based on current date but 1 month back
Worked for me. I can listen to my recordings.
thanks! :good: a great guide!
