HI
Wonder if anyone is kind enough to help.
I have downloaded some ringtones as mp3 files but can't use them in the xda since it only recognises wav files. Is there a way around this?
Thanks

Doing a monologue but I thot people might benefit:
did a goggle search and found tons of software that could do the trick.
how did u do it. please share
Hi
You can use winamp and select the diskwriter for playback. This will write a wav file when you play the file.
You can also use nice freeware audio tools. I downloaded audacity from download.com or try www.dbpoweramp.com for another converter tool.

does anyone know how to use mp3 files as ring tones? is it possible?
you need to use Mp3 to wav converter and convert the mp3 to a wav file, then put the wav file under \Windows\Rings and it will work...but take note, its pretty big after conversion to wav
hence why i wanted to use mp3s as ringtones rather than wavs in the first place
Is there no way that you can trick the software into accepting the mp3 file as a wav?! Ive tried using a .wav extention, but that doenst seem to work either.

not possible at all...you must put the wav into Windows\Rings directory then go to select the ring tone as your default ringing tone..it should work just fine
Ofcourse it wouldn't be that hard for someone like the maker of PhonExt to create a program that wil let you run whatever you want when someone calls...
you can convert them to WMA which it makes the files smaller than MP3 and they sound just as good. that is of course if you have WM2003
You can use dbpowerAmp.com to convert the wav files into smaller bitrate, mono channels etc. This will make the file sizes much smaller... however, quality will start to suffer.

Yorch, what program do you use to convert the mp3 files to wma??
brilliant then! problem solved. i can just use WMA.
I convert mp3s to WMA via "Windows Movie Maker". Simply drag the mp3 onto the timeline, then save the "movie" as a WMA.
dbpowerAmp is an excellent solution (and FREE) and super easier to use. Now if you happen to have the XP Plus Media Edition, it comes with a little prog that lets you convert audio back and forth, very easy.
By the way anything that you convert to 64Kbps on a WMA will come with excellent quality as a ringtone.
You can also use the free Windows Media Encoder to convert Mp3 to wma.
With this great utility you can also directly convert all your movies ,divx etc to wmv pocket pc format!!!

i ask this because i want to put two wav files , one for telephone and one for SMS. i edited the files , and saved them as wav file 11khz 8 bit mono
but i can't play them on the qtek1010.
maybe they are too long ? 15 seconds
Hello there;->
w ll i guess its not the size.
I using a selfmade .wav from Dave Clarke ( Underground, House, Techno )
and it is about 1minute long and 5MB big;-)
Workes perfectlty

SPVlover, are you aware you can convert your wav file to a WMA and use that instead?
You'll end up with a much smaller file which sounds just as good.

I use Nero Wave Editor, but Windows Media Player will do it if you use the 'copy to cd or portable device' function with your XDA/XDAII in the cradle.
There's also heaps of media converters on the net - Google search "convert wav to wma" +free and you'll find a plethora of them.

thnaks. i'm using dbPowerAmp Music Converter now. its a freeware!
This is a good converter, just convert a whole mp3 folder in one click to wav.
And the size of the wav files is realy minimum so it saves some space
Hi, I've searched for info on how to use .wav files for ringtones and have found only midi/polphonic files etc, of which I'm not to sure of how to do. I've tried moving some .wav files into the rings folder but all I get is a bip when I try it. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong and how to resolve this would be much appreciated. Thanks
they need to be PCM wav files
Thanks Rudegar. PCM is what? Is there a program that will convert standard .wav files to PCM .wav files. I'll do a search on the forum for info also.
Peace.
Pulse code modulation, shortly PCM is the standard wav file :wink: . You might have tried a wav file with some kind of compression, and wm2002 cant handle that. In wm2003, you can use windows media also. Thats good if you want to have music as ringtones. Just put the .wma into the ringtones folder.
hello all i got my phone today.
How can i put my own ringtones on it.
I am not sure of the file types i need or anything. I dont even know where to go to select what tone i want. please help
if you want to use ringtones for specific contacts (e.g. a sound will play and when you hear it you'll know it's from your friend joe) then you'll need third party software such as ringtonex (mtux). ain't free though; i forgot how much i paid for it but i've been using the app back when i started with my xda1. still using it up to now. like the ringtone i use for my boss is the pacman sound when he dies...
for ringtone types; wav files are the ones you need...however you can also use midi and wma if i remember. if your unit is on activesync with your pc; simply copy and paste the wav file you want into the xda's windows folder. this will allow the ringtone to be used by other apps such as alarms or sms notification. or you can also paste it in the window's "rings" folder where the phone will automatically recognize the file as being a ring tone option. then just go to settings for the phone and click on that file you want to use.
hope that helps.
thanx a million worked like a charm
hey its not finding wma files though
i read somewhere in the forum that you can use wma files as ringtones...just don't know how to do them and never really tried. not sure about this but most wma files i know are associated with mp3s as well. wma is a lower quality sound alternative to mp3s; i have wma files for songs and they range from 800-900kb as oposed to 3+ meg mp3 song files. so the way i see it (and i could be wrong about this) to use a wma file the xda would have to be able to get it from the memory or the storage card (?). but that would mean having a wma ring tone which is around 900kb in size...something that you don't really need coz eventually you will answer the phone after like 10 seconds. so no point in having the whole song as a ringtone really since you won't get to hear it to the end. that is if the other chaps in the forum are doing something different that is wayyyy easier than i really think it is
what i did was record bits of a song i have on storage; then use that as my ringtone. example; i have an mp3 of fernanda porto and i like the opening sequence. what i did was use my notes app; ran the song through media player and when the part i liked came i then recorded it. the file is in wav so it was easy to use it as a ringtone....
cheers
it need to be 2003 before it can use wma
they need to be put in windows\rings
you then add them with the program called add ringtones
in settings
ahh i dont have 2003, i was told 2003 is better not to have cause it messes up alot or something i dunno.
Dear all,
I am new to the LG G5.
I have a question about wav files. In my old mobile phone (one+) the wave files was just playable in different players.
If I go to the installed Dateimanager I can't open a wav file this explorer only offer graphic apps to open the wav files.
With the App "root explorer" I can link up to a player and play it.
But this is not like it should be, or am I wrong?
The wav files are not visible direct in the player.
Did I do something wrong or forgot something to do?
Best regards
Simarilon

Sorry to ask again.
Are your wave files visible in any music player app?
Am I the only one with this issue?
Best regards
