cdex is free and let you convert
I dont want to convert MP3 to WMA
Dear Rudegar,
Thanks for your reply. I knew your suggestion, but that's not what im looking for. There must be a patch that i can use for select MP3 files as ring directly without conversion, if XDA II mini can use MP3 files as ringtone by selection, then someone out there must have known how to patch it. Please help !!!
Thank you.

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!

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.
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!!!

There is not a piece of software for ppc2002 that does is job good.
Simply convert them to wav with this great tool

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.
