Hi
i am using SX56 PDA. when i send any song file from desktop to SX56 through synchronising using cardle it doesnot compress the data and take the same space in SX56 as in desktop PC.
How i can compress its data .
plz help me
Thanks
thats how it works at least i've never heard about anything like compression being default or even an option you can choose using activeSync
maybe you could pay for some 3th party compression tool which works like it does on the pc but it would make the pda slower
If you're tryingto load music onto your SX56, you want to make sure you're loading .mp3 files. These can be encoded in different bitrates, a lower bitrate takes less space but may not sound as good. So you probably want to have them in a fairly low bitrate if you want to have small files and don't mind the quality deredation. You'd do this on your PC before moving them over to the SX56.
if you want as small as file as posible
i would most likely make it WMA with a 64K/sec setting

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!!!

There is not a piece of software for ppc2002 that does is job good.
Simply convert them to wav with this great tool
:lol: 8)
Wow!
three years later
:lol:
You would think for as many people that use the windows ce operating system that someone would actually take the time to sit down and make a simple program to allow us to play mp3's when the phone rings.. ? any ideas?
Nah, someone needs to make something like PhonExt which can just execute anything as a distinctive (or global) ring.
mp3? try wma
why do you want to use mp3 when you can use wma?
it takes a bit less size than mp3 with the same sound quality, and PPC2003 plays wma without any additional software.
Hmmm I know that it can play WMAs, but the bad message is that it copies the WMAs to /Windows/Rings/ ... I'd like it plays the WMAs directly from memory card... And another bad message is that for SMS you can use only WAVs (stored in /Windows/)...

your 2: I work about
I know it might sound a bit stupid, but I would really love to find a way to play WMA rings on PPC 2002. I have so nice WAVs, but they are so big for such a little device ... all I can do is creating 10 secs WAV of MIDI files, but it's too short ... any ideas ?
try lowing the samplerate and or the bit resolution of the wav
it would lower it's size a great deal
yes - and you can also convert it to mono
Thanks guys for all advices , but I already use 11K mono for sampling and still get ~200K for 10 secs of WAV :? ... I know I should go for PPC2003, but my XDA is very stable and fast and I hate to mess up its ROM ... in addition to that I may void the 5 yrs warranty ... yes you heard it right ... FIVE! ... :lol:
Hm... That's something strange with the WAV conversion... So wait for a stable version of WM2003
wuffi,
I 'm using Midi2Wav Recorder V 3.0 from RINASoft ... if you have/know a better tool that can give smaller wav output, I would appreciate it.
btw, I know that current versions of WM2003 is almost stable, but I have to think about the GPRS "always connected" concept ... it has its cons :!:
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.
Hi All, Since Kies just crashes on me whenever I try to sync videos, what is a good method to transfer DVD video to the SGS2? Other then putting the device in debugging mode and dragging them over manually. I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like the quality suffers manually drag and drop them.
I use Handbrake to decrypt btw.
Know its a nuisance but if I have a large amount of files to transfer I just put the sdcard into a reader and plug into the PC as it's a lot quicker that way. Just make sure the files are the right format you want before transferring, no probs yet.
Copy and paste no drop in quality varying formats .

Hello all. I have tons of movies that I'm interested in transferring over to my note. I noticed that I couldn't do it on the fly using Kies air. It says it only caps it at 400mb or something. I'm wondering if anybody knows of a great video converter (paid or free) that's easy to use so I can add some movies to my note. I have blurays so one that can convert them as well would be useful.
For my DVD library I've been using DVD Decrypter to rip the discs to the hard drive and then WinX Free VD to MP4 to convert them. I turn the gain up on the audio, and encode the highest audio quality possible. Seemed to me on lower settings, the audio gets away from the video a bit. Not sure if that's exactly what you meant, but hope it helps.
I don't know what I am doing differently than you guys, but if I plug my phone in and drag and .avi file to my phones memory or the SD card, windows will prompt me to convert for my phone or just copy as is... If I choose convert it will auto resize for the notes screen. One file takes about 14 mins to convert / copy. The only thing I have done is installed Samsung's USB drivers.. Screenie below
Why do you use Kies to add content to your note? when transferring large files to my devices its much much faster to do it via USB rather than hogging up bandwidth using WiFi--and there's no limit !!
When I do want to use WiFi, I don't use Kies. I use Airdroid but still, only for smaller file sizes for the same reason as above.
I dont rip DVDs anymore but back in the day I used to use vob to avi to rip and nandub to add the sound. quality was always great but I haven't ripped any DVDs in like 7yrs. I buy DVDs to watch on my TV and I ******** them from ******* to watch on my devices.

That's interesting. I wonder if it'll work with mkv. files. Also, BR movies are around 5-10gigs so I don't know if windows converts them to a smaller size or just adjust the screen to fit the note.

I guess since it's over wifi I imagined it would still be somewhat fast transfer. Also why are those words deleted out of your posts?? Serious question?
I can't say for BR movies but I do know that it will take anything above the notes resolution and convert it to fit (which reduces file size as well) The Biggest movie I have on the note is 890meg converted. The pre-converted file was 3.8gig with screen ratio of 16:9 (1920x1080). When I check the process that's doing the converting it's Windows Media Player. I would imagine if you have the codecs installed on your pc and wmp can access them it would convert anything automatically.
Edit: Just checked, yeah mkv files will convert, the codec package I had installed on my machine is "Sharks codec's for Windows 7" -> http://shark007.net/win7codecs.html
If any when anyone install's those pay attention to the installer, even though they are free, the dev tries to sneak in a couple toolbars (ask / bing) so be sure and not install that extra bloat, unless you want it of course.

didn't work for me, lol, maybe there's something else to the process.
I have USB Debugging turned off as well..
