as advised, i have put a few of the above files in my windows/rings directory.
When i try and play them from the phone setup, its just beeps and boops ??
do you need to install something first before you use the above for ring tones??
ali i am also having the same problem (running o2 rom)
Has anyone been able to play midi ring tones on ppc2003?
if so what ringtones, or what program was used to play it (if any)
cheers
yes, i run midi tones no problem. as I posted before.
try this one see if it works ok on yours
http://greysworld.com/polypo/files/novemberrain.mid
just put it in your /windows/rings dir and select it as a ringtone
and try it out
i have tried it on the file you posted, and it worked. however any other midi file i try to use doenst! that doenst make any sense! :shock: also, does anyone know how to use mp3s as ring tones
some work
I've got the tunes on my XDA. Some work, some don't...
They all work on my siemens s55 though, and sound top notch!
My favourite out of the ones that do work is black adder, this has replaced a .wav of bad boys I was using for a few weeks. Wonder whats next...

There is a utility called PSMPlayer which can save a regular MIDI file as a Ringtone. This saved MIDI format is compatible with WM2003.
how to do it:
1) open psmplayer
2) file> open > locate a midi file on your system.
3) play it to see if it sounds ok
4) click the RED circle icon
5) give the poly ring tone a name
6) tick the box "ring tone mode"
7) click ok, this will ask for a place to save the file to. Then click save
8) close program
9) copy the file you just made to your windows/rings dir.
there you go, a working poly ringtone
PS thanks to sheran_g for the link to the proggy
but somehow the files don't sound good? like the speaker breaks up or something?
Yeah i got the same thing..
they dont sound good and sometimes they are change to a lower Volume very low.
Any Ideas???
:?
yeah me too,
Can anyone (developers included) create a guide to have GOOD sounding polyphonic ringtones on the xda ???
Free Burgers* waiting
*meat flavour :wink:
This seems like a shortcoming in the Qtek/XDA. There are only 6 fixed instruments on it. When creating your ringtone, you need to figure out what the instruments are so that you get the best sounding tone. Also, there seems to be no volume regulation so that's why it sounds really bad (as if your speaker is going to blow :wink: )
In my personal opinion, WM2003 midi ringtones have a loooong way to evolve yet.
I use 2 programs from acoustica.com pull out about a 10 second piece of a midi file and convert it to a wma file and then stick that in the rings folder. It's about 12k in size and sounds great! Good luck! - Jim
may one ask what the two programs are you use from accoustica?
I cant find any that say about midi..
cheers,
Ian.
Hello people of the world,
Just have a question to ask. Is there any program or any way to have support for polyphonic or midi ringtone support for my Siemens Sx56 (XDA-1)? I have tried converting Midi to Wav with the lowest quality (8-bit, Mono, 11 Khz) and the file size for 10 sec is about 100 kb. The sound quality is good but I really don't want to convert everytime I want to put a new midi in my mobile phone. So, if there is a way out there, spit it out! Also, I have cooked a T-Mobile with the Polyphonic ringtone option. But I don't see anywhere how to enable the option? Need help on that too!
from what i've heard then if you have 2003 then you can use mid files
By default, WM2003 doesn't support normal midi files unless it's of one track only, which I consider it very low quality for a device like the XDA.
By installing the MIDI56.CAB file that's part of MMS Composer, I find that WM2003 can support midi files ... it doesn't sound good as ring tones, and I prefer wav or wma instead.
Very Helpful ...
Thank You Biso007 for your help. I found the Midi56.sa.cab file from the XDA Forum and really it worked perfect. There is a little bit of change in sound of drums that sounds like some other instrument but everything else worked out fine. One question though, does anyone know how to enable or add the Midi file support when I want to assign a specific ringtone to a contact? When I go to assign a ringtone, there is only the .wav option, how can I bring the .midi option? Do I have to add Mime type or what? Any clues ... ? :?
I think this depends on the s/w design ... not something that you can modify

Hi,
Is it possible to get mp3s as ringtones to MDA2? For midis, it's only a little plugin, isn't there same kind of plugin for mp3?
edit: Subject updated
ms like to push their WMA so thats the easiest thing to use
you can use a program like CDex which is free to convert mp3 to
wma
Well that might be the easiest way. Anyone have an idea why wma is allowed only as ringtone? It can't be assigned as alarm for example...
yeah it's odd guess they made the addon for rings because people wanted to have odd phone ringtones
and maybe the demand was not big on normal notifications so they dident bother
maybe it'll be in CE 2005 if it's not already supported in 2003SE
It's not supported in 2003 SE, I have installed it on my pda. I was hoping that more formats would be supported but no.. :?
You ca use MP3 for ring tones but you need WM10, In WM2003SE just ver 2.20 have WM10 .
wm10
i have xdaIIi which i was pleasently suprised to find has wm10 - however i can't find a way to use mp3 as ringtone - how is this done?
mp3 set as ring tone
this cab file let you set the mp3 tone as ring tone in your xda just install in your xda and choose your mp3 from the explorer and press with hold you will see in the drop menu set as ring tone.
With the Himalaya device?
Regardless of OS version?
I use caller id version 1.20 (build 18567)... i can assign mp3 ringtone for my contact... but i don't know whether this is because i use wm2003se ver. 2.20 chs or just because of the caller id.
anyone else want to try?
mp3 as ringtone
you can download audacity software, you can edit your favorite mp3 files and set the same as your ringtone....
Can anyone advise?
I've installed EnglishMP3SetRingtone.CAB as recommended on another topic here but am having no luck adding ring tones.
Viewing mp3s stored on my storage card I don't get the option to install as a ringtone by holding down over it.
If I look in the phone settings under system, I can see all the mp3s I have placed in Windows/Rings but if I select one & then press play no sound is heard. The only tone that does work is the default tone? Even stranger the other default tones that were installed on the phone such as bass, old phone & 02 tone are still listed but in the actual win/rings folder have disappeared.
If I go into Phone Contacts & try to assign ringtones for individuals it won't display any mp3s. Is the EnglishMP3SetRingtone.CAB meant to enable this to display MP3s?
This is all happening on an XDA 2i running Win 2nd Edition version 4.21.
Any advice gratefully appreciated.

i cant set mp3 as ringtone
i have execute cab file and add registry to wm registry
can u explaint how to install it ?
Phreakazoidz
O2XDAII
Rom XDA2JoJo+Sim Merged
The problem as I found is to do with either Pocket TV or pocket Divx. Can't remember which but if one of these is installed it stops MP3 as ringtones being displayed once you've installed the .cab.
Other than a hard reset I couldn't find away around it.
Where do I change the SMS tone in WM6, the "You've got message" from PDAViet is starting to annoy me
Thanks in advance
that is a good question
i would like to know that aswel my girlfriend is starting to lol everytime my phone goes off. if any one can help use please let me us know thanks
Go to Settings --> Sound & Notification --> Notification Tab --> Messaging: New text message
Ok works, thanks alot!!
i want to know if there is anyway that you can put a mp3 as ringtone or a wav file or something plaese help thanks
i use ringo mobile for that. wav, mp3, aac, ogg, wma ... no problem for ringo making as ringtone or sms... i manage my ringtone groups with ringo. thats more comfortable =)

If I am not mistaken, I think that only wav works for SMS. mp3 or wma works for incoming calls only
Here are mine if you are looking for some "inspirations"
well if you ever saw the movie eurotrip, you may enjoy this .wav/.mp3 file
enjoy lol
EDIT: I have a .wav for an alert tone, and .mp3 for my ringtone (not this mp3 but something else)...and everything is on my SD card (in the root directory, never tried hiding it in a folder)
EDIT SQUARED: I uploaded another .zip file, it has two mp3 ringtones that i use, my email notification noise, and two other .wav files (the old and new SNCF tone)
I have been updating my G4 with all the WM6.1 roms here and it seems I get the same problem everytime, That is the ringtones work fine after flashing, but after sometime there is no ringtone and it automaticaly goes back to the default Windows 6 ringtone, Please can you assit me on this issue

1. Where did you put your ringtone?
2. did you make any tweak to the ringtone path?
3. Which rom are you using?
4. did you try the "1d" ?
Strange... I have used a lot of the G4 ROMS here and I haven't had that problem. Make sure that you saved your ringtones in the correct folder, and everything should be fine from there...
I had the problem when installing an audio player and assigned the mp3s to this player.
Try to let windows handle the mp3 files and uncheck the file association in the player preferences. Then windows can play mp3s again...
I put the ringtone in the rings folder in the Windows directory, and which tweak are you talking about? Can you explain the tweak please maybe this will solve the problem
thanks
I have the same problem, with 6.0, I was able to use any mp3 ring on the phone. Now with 6.1 they don't work.
I moved the ring back and forth from the My ringtone folder, and the windows folder. I can use Audio Mgr to set the custom ring to the phone, and it works until I open the phone menu/options, it reverts back to the pre-loaded ring. The custom ring doesn't show up in the options list, but is still in the Windows folder, or My Ringtone folder.
There's another thread in the forum. WM 6.1 has a size limitation for mp3 rings, you have to cut them down to around 8secs of play
I pasted the link for the cab file for the trimmer app. Works fine on my Tilt
