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 surfed the forum a bit and i haven't found a solution for my question ... or i missed it.
there are some rules for create a wan and use as ringtone ?
i mean , mono, bitrate , etc etc
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;->

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
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.
Can anyone suggest a good website where i can pick up some new ringtones or games for my hermes? Thanks.
looks like you need to search on this fine forum to seek what you need.
Here's a past games thread you can check out...enjoy:

be careful signing up for ringtones.........my daughter is getting spammed pretty heavily after signing up for ringtones.
any audio file will work as ring tone even your singing into a mic on your pc or pda
a wav or mp3 from a game a song .....

If you ever heard me sing............you would wonder why anything or anyone would allow me to create a recording that surely would hurt people everytime my phone rang.
well it would give you a taste of your own medicine
audacity is a really good program for chopping up existing mp3s and you can export them as low bitrate ringtones and they sound just as good as the real song.
just google audacity.

ya what he said
whats the best way to get ringtones that sound good. im using and mp3 for ringtone and wav for sms, but they both dont sound so great, how can i get one that sounds better like the ones the phone comes with, like edit them to make them louder/smaller size etc...?
save it in WMA format. You will get less of a delay with the phone. Also, just start out with a good quality file and clip it to suit your needs.

right click, view source, find the actual .mp3 location and copy paste it into a browser?
myxertones.com from PIE is a very solid source. Nothing like 325kbps, but still decent.
You can always just put some mp3's on your phone and use HTC Audio Manager to make ringtones. In Audio Manager start to play the song you want to use and then left soft key then click use as ringtone (or something like that) then press trim and trim the song where you want. Then you have the option to save as default or to the ringtones folder.
Also something i found out messing with ringtones a while ago, if you get a program that changes the gain on mp3/wav files you can make the ringtones ALOT louder. You just have to find the right spot where the song will not distort.
