hi !!
can we send multi files via bluetooth and use mp3 as ringing tone in WM2003SE????
and if we can do it, can i do it on my XDAII ROM1.72WWE??
thanx!
no mp3 ms made wma to beat mp3 so ms are not likely to add much support for fancy mp3 things in their pda's
but wma's are just as good as mp3's and you can make a mp3 into a wma using CDex which is a free program
how you can send files really depend on what you mean
as in from pda to pda or from pc to pda or ..........
pda to pda
what program can do BT transfer?
did a search and found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10774&highlight=bt+transfer
i have heard that the new Caller ID (on PDA2K and Jam) can use an mp3 as ringtoon..
is that right??
about the wma it's very gooooood i know that...and I am using it..thanx!
about the search i have tried many many times before i write the topic but it didn't work!!! (this page can't be displayed on IE) sorry!
I am using Resco Explorer Ver 5.0 and it can send via bluetooth but only 1 file per send!!!
i want to select many files and send them together to a phone or a pda or anything!!!
when i select multi files...Send To becomes gray and unselectable...
well i guess you could zip the files of cause that would not work if you wanted to send to a cellphone or something which dont have the options of unzipping

I own the Qtek 1010 and the SE P800 but my favorite is the QTEK and using it most of the time. But i was wondering while the SE P800 can support WAV and MIDI ringtones the QTEK can only support WAV tones.
I have allot of MIDIs and good ones on the P800 and was wondering if there is a way to make the QTEK support MIDI tones.
Please advise me guys ...
thanks

Converting
Hello,
In my case i had to convert *.mid to *.wav using Mid2Wav program and use them on all devices, i know its taking time and space but its working
Its going to be fantastic if there is a direct *.mid player.
Regards,
MIDI
Hello,
I'm not sure if this will work, but try to install this .cab file that comes in the exteded rom portion of my MDA2.
Extract file from the attached .zip and place the .cab file in your My Documents folder in your Pocket PC and execute from there.
Good luck!
Rayan
I believe this cab file is to support the Album s/w which is part of the MMS Composer 1.6.xx which comes into the XDA II ... it plays midi files perfectly, however it doesn't update the phone rings capabilities.
ARZLEB, you may consider using wma files as ring tones for WM2003 ... it gives very good sound quality and relatively small size than wav ... of course never like the midi size
If you must use mid files, make sure it has only one track ... the usual mid files come with 4 tracks at least.
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!!!

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.
Now you can use your mp3 as ring tonr just install the cab file in your xda and from the explorer long press in the mp3 tone and choose it as ringtone i hope you like it.
.
where's the file broad??
,
it's okay now..sorry
not working
it is not working, after install the file, i still cannot select the mp3 as rington in settings, even put in the ring folder still not shown in phone rings
tried it too but it didn't work... maybe OS thing?
No, it works only on Windows Media 10. If you Upgrade to 2.20 CHS Rom you'll have it!
Thanks eFiend
it works for me; doesn't use / need wmp10. what you do is go to file explorer, if the mp3 file you want is in the storage card then go there. once you see the file; put your stylus on it for like 2-3 seconds. a small menu should appear; the last option in the menu says "set as ringtone" or something like that. if you click on this option; wait for like 3-5 seconds as the app copies the mp3 file and puts it on the rings folder in windows. from there; if you go to phone settings you'll see that the mp3 file you wanted is now the ringtone for the phone.
the only disadvantage i see is that if you have a nice mp3 file that's more than 3mb in size; then that's the same file which will appear in your rings folder. this could eat up some memory. and since you'll eventually answer the phone (and not wait for the whole song to finish) then you may want to consider converting the bitrate of the mp3 file to be lower. i use fernanda porto's tudo de bom (from chill brazil...awesome!) and it's 4.5mb in size...the same size is in my rings folder...
ITS DOESNT WORK...!
I HAVE INSTALLED THE FILE CAB IN MY DEVICE BUT I GOT NOTHING MENU FOR SET MP3 RING TONE IN PROGRAMS MENU...
CAN ANY BODY HELP ME ...?
BEST REGARD
TOMO
mate,
nothing's supposed to be present in the programs folder. check out my post above....as i've said you only need to use file explorer to use the mp3 ringtone app...

Been waiting for this...!!!
Neat and Cool....
Else all my ringtones are wave files.. it is eating a huge chunk of space...
Thanks for sharing!
Tried that - still don't work..
Hi there,
I tried holding the stylus on the mp3 file, but it does not give "set as ringtone" menu. On a WAV file, however, it does.
Does this program require WM2003SE?
mp3 as ringtone
Hi!
I managed to install the cab and also choose an mp3 song as tone, in the context menu there is "set as ringtone", however, it didn't trigger the mp3 song that i picked, does this happen to you?

I realised it doesn't work !
coz i forgotten to remove the wave file... now i re-set the mp3 as ringtone upon holding the stylus for 2-3 seconds... i called my number.. it defaulted to bass(comes with set).Tried other mp3... still the same..
Hi Maxtro.. Nice to see you're on same country / network as me! too bad the app doesn't work. :?
hmmmm, that's strange. maybe it depends on the rom versions? anyway; i'm sending you some screen shots just to show you how it goes. just follow screens1-5..as you can see the last option allows you to use the mp3 file as a ringtone...
Not working mate ... set as ring tone menu is available but don't change anything ... mp3 file is not being copied to windows/rings/ folder ... and not shown @ the ring tones set up ...
yeah man,nice prog !!!!it works on my xda2
I tried everything i could think off but i coldnt set mp3 for alarm
any ideas?
tnx odklop
i am using klaxon a wonderful program, you can browse to your fav music and add it to your list.
Also g alarm is a good program BUT i get an error on my htc hd 2. So sorry for that i can not explain further...
Hope this was useful.
Google the cab for klaxon. very nifty program.

You don't need 3rd party software for this. The native alarm app will play your mp3 files.
There is a file-size restriction, but I don't know what it is. I remember getting a file of mine to below 3MB before it would list it. Try that.
They need to be in the windows folder on your phone. You do not have a windows folder on the storage card (you certainly shouldn't have, anyway!)
Alarm Rings
johncmolyneux,
Tried your suggestion but it did'nt work. Brought the file down to 186 kb but did'nt show up.
anymore?
gr fred
Must admit I'm interested in this too and have been working away for the past few days trying to find a solution.
So far all the files I have are converted to wma, have been reduced in size to match some of the other ringtone files in windows, have been named using the same naming convention as the windows mobile ringtones, have been checked to make sure that the properties of the files are identical, have been copied into the windows folder and /or the ringtones folder and.......
Still can't get this to work.
If anyone has been successful doing this please share your method exactly with us.
Cheers

For alarms, it has to be a WAV file, in the Windows folder of device memory (not storage card).
Very detrimental to the memory space, I know....so I only have 1 custom alarm tone. Size wise I have a 3.5mb file, and it works fine. No need to care about naming conventions.
This is old...but still relevant. Iirc mp3 doesn't work as alarm file.
All you need to do is copy the mp3 file to your Windows folder and then set that as your reminder. Set your alarm sound as something short and the reminder will play as your alarm.
you need to convert ur mp3 to wav n place them in the /windows folder of ur phone memory....i didnt get any size of length specific issues, but hey i wasnt specifically looking for one.
I didn't need to convert it, I just copied the mp3 to the windows folder and it worked no problem.

Yes...this is a workaround, and saves putting a WAV file into Windows directory.
so far i tried:
1. putting mp3 in windows directory - didnt work
2. renaming mp3 to wav - didn't work
3. converting the mp3 from 192kbps to 128kbps - didn't work
4. converting mp3 to wav - works but file is huge
5. converting mp3 to wma - didn't work
6. renaming wma to wav - works like a charm
so conclusion - convert your mp3 to wma, rename to wav and put in windows directory.

i'm guessing there is a way to make mp3s work maybe a specific format bitrate etc. but since it's not determined yet mp3>>wma>>wav is as easier a solution as any
Converted mp3 to wma. File size 681KB. Renamed to wav and copied it into the Windows directory (not the "Rings" subfolder but the Windows root folder) and finally showed in the alarm sounds list but I'm unable to select it it choose "default" sound then. May be its too large.
I have no problems using any MP3/WMA ringtone by putting them in \My Documents\My Ringtones.
And if that matters, I always use mono instead of stereo (2 channels aren't exactly useful for one speaker).
EDIT: Just confirming WMA works in the My Ringtones folder here; wasn't sure about this. I use a 243 KB file of about 40 seconds (ring is 30 seconds anyway).
If you want to use a custom sound, i.e for SMS/Email received, connection established or any other notification, you'll need to make a WMA or WAV file and drop it in \Windows\.
EDIT2: ...and I'm using Dutty's rom (WM 6.5).
The HTC alarm aplication(cover up the ugly windows version thingy) doesnt allow you to select MP3s. not sure why.
Open the windows mobile alarm app and you can select mp3s if they are in your my documents folder . Might need WM 6.5.3 though.
Wierdly when you select it in the windows alarm app, it shows the file in the HTC app.
Again, all my custom sounds are in mp3 format dropped into \Windows\ and I have no problems applying them. I'm just using the standard ROM Version 1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE.

Because you're using the reminder workaround, not actually changing the alarm sound.....it's different from what the rest are trying to do.
I see what you're saying, but it's not just the alarm. All my sounds, ringtone/sms/email are all in mp3 format.
Finally after converting it to wav (not just renaming wma to wav) and placing it in windows folder it worked. Unfortunately the file is 2.8MB, no matter it's a mono
