Convert the MP3 to WMA using this http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/bonuspack.aspx
then copy the WMA file you want to windows\rings folder
PocketZenPhone 5.2 also allows you to set MP3's as ringtones

anyone tried this?? it claimed to work
There is no need to buy this program just put any MP3 files in your "rings" folder in the windows folder on your PPC Phone and then they will come up in the ring tone list when you pick ringtones. It's then free. We all love FREE.

in case you dont know, MP3 format cannot be supported as incoming ringtones for the XDA II, XDA IIs
I have an XDAII and was able to use MP3 as ring tones without any issues, either with 1.72 or 2.20 ROM.
no, the IIs does NOT support MP3 in the phone ringer app. The device can play MP3s via media player etc, but they are not supported as ring tones.
WMA is supported as ring tones.
No major biggie for me as I don't wanna use the full bitrate MP3 as a ring anyway - just conver to a Mono 22Khz 48bps WMA instead and only convert the 30 secs - 1 min that the phone would actually ring for.

How come? Please assist me ... thx
guys... just use a free prog (I use audacity) to convert to wma.
You generally don't want all of a stereo mp3 as a ring anyway.
I just take the bit of the mp3 I want as a clip in audacity, and convert it to mono mp3 with a low bitrate. I generally turn the db up as high as it will go (without clipping) as well as you want a ring loud. Audacity will also loop a clip and let you trim it to get it to loop just right.
Then just pop the wma in the rings folder and viola !

How do you get Audacity to convert to .wma??? it only does .wav, .ogg, and .mp3 - as far as I can see..... :?
Mamaich's new WMP10 rom (found in the Blue Angel upgrading forum) gives the XDAIII mp3 ringtone support.
On MS website (Windows Media downloads section) there is a free down load that will convert MP3 to WMA, will even do Bulk folders if you want

Yes, I did, and WMP10 run smoothly on my PPC, but how to set MP3 file as ringtone?
mp3 ringtones
copy your mp3 ringtones to directory windows/rings in your device.
and setting your notification phone call with them.
or you can install patch englishmp3ringtone.cab (find this file in ftp xda developer)
HKCR\wavefile\Shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\
copy the key "{E88B4A18-6F77-Abb6-8E0D-DCD4B1F8F1DA}"
under the key (create)
HKCR\mp3file\Shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\
Thank's to http://www.newsmobile.it
Italian do it better :lol:
Thanks, but I can set one MP3 ringtone only, and cannot select other MP3 files in \Windows\Rings from Sound & Notifications settings. In addition, my MTUX ringtoneX 2.0 does not work with MP3 ringtone. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm from Malaysia. I've already upgraded my XDA IIs rom to version 1.33.51 also. But my device also cooked with IA Caller ID version 1.20.
I can assign any ringtone to any contact including mp3 format using the program (Caller ID 1.20). Try it. Thanks.

David,
Use PHM registory or Resco registry for accessing the registry on your device.
HKCR\wavefile\Shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ (Where HKCR is the HK Current User)
copy the key "{E88B4A18-6F77-Abb6-8E0D-DCD4B1F8F1DA}"
Then go to HKCR\mp3file\Shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\
and create a key by pasting the above.
Voila there is your mp3 ringtone. Check and let us knowl.
Hemant.
Then go to this folder
i have just changed to an XDA IIs from my k750i and so far i have found londs of things the XDA wont do that the K750i could to..
like play mp3 files as ring tones for instance. i transfered them all across and the XDA wont find them as ringtones.
anyway around this apart from converting the files!?
thanks in advance
They just need to be in the \Windows folder.
Edit: OK, just tried it. You could try converting to WMA format.
just copy your ring tones to windows/rings and you'll be able to see them in phone settings...
however, there is a registry hack to change rings path to Storage instead of RAM.. it works fine with me ( Magician )
Cheers :wink:
could u please post the registry hack here...would love to have my sd card songs all as ringtones ......also is there a reg hack to play .mp3 as a ringtone instead of converting it to .wma and then play as a ringtone...its quite annoying to convert them first and etc etc.....
MP3 Ringtone Bitrate to battery power ratio.
I'm guessing from owning an iRiver iHP-140 Personal Media Player that the MP3s Bitrate will have a bearing on the battery power usage. Going on other Forums tests 128 kbps mono/stereo 44khz will be the best bitrates for battery consumption. look forward to reg hack as well, upgrading rom to PDA2K 140.0 iMate ROM for my o2 UK xda2s, wonder if this makes a difference, will report if it dose.
if you have wm10 you get mp3 as ring tones
and to get wm10 you need a rom which include it
wm2005 does
2003SE chinese version does
Well i got this file and installed it onto my xda iis and it works. It adds a set as ringtone option in the menu that shows when u hold ur stylus on the mp3.
Soory newbie here with XDA
Could you tell me how can i install the cab file posted by you.
Thanks
Anybody have info on the reg hack to change the ringtone location from \windows\rings to your storage card??

Place your *.mp3 file to \storage card\My Documents. You can choose that *.mp3 file as ringtone. The more free space on your storage card, the more mp3 ringtones. Cheers.

But when you right click the mp3 and 'set as ringtone', it still gets copied to \windows\rings :?
Select it (*.mp3) the usual way, i.e., Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications. There you will see the mp3 file you placed in \Storage Card\My Documents\. Also applicable for *.wmv files.
Correction: Applicable to *.wma files too.
Doesn't work on the XDA Exec
It has worked in an Universal with WM6
I have tried this several times, even contacted orange, but am now getting conflicting information
The manual says mp3 files can be used as a ringtone
orange then advised me to move the files into the /rings folder
However, the device cannot recognise them
I've now been told by orange the device does not support mp3 files at all!
I then told them that I can play them in Windows Media Player and was told the device shouldn't be able...
Any ideas?
Try the attached file; works for me on my SX66.
How is this installed, and into which folder(s) on the Pocket PC?
just move into any folder...and...tap on it.. it'll automatically install...
just as simple as 1-2-3...
Tried that, no change...
I have a file called bigbrother.mp3 in windows/rings folder, but this is not being recognised
If I move any other type of file (.mid .wav) into this folder, then I can set those as ringtone
I can also setup any other ringtones from the start/settings/system/add ring tones
What next?
WAV ringtones...
Hi! I also had issues getting an MP3 to play as a ringtone... Not sure if it was due to the file size or the file type.
My work around was to use a tool to slice and dice the file to
1. Make the ringtone duration 20 seconds
2. Convert the file to WAV
3. Increase the gain so the ringtone is louder than original
There are tons of free applications to do this... I usually download todays' most popular from http://www.download.com ...
Enjoy!
Hi There,
Try renaming bigbrother.mp3 to a smaller name i.e big.mp3
I had an MP3 that wouldn't display in the list until I renamed it to a smaller name, then it became available and worked succintly.
let us know how you get on
Terry
No, no change
I was wondering of the file is too large, so uploaded a smaller one at 0.9MB, but this too was not recognised
The only conclusion I can come to is the orange SPV M2000 (QTEK 9090) does not support mp3 files as ring tones, only mid and wav
That still doesn't match the manual though (clearly states "use mp3 files as ring tones")
Update to latest rom (1.40.00 ?) That should fix it - I had the same problem - updated rom & voila
I've tried the latest orange ROM 1.40 and as really unstable and went back to ROM 1.31
I'll try again and see if there is any change
If you convert a MP3 file to Wav or WMA, then you would be able to set it as a ringtone (by right clicking it in your phone).
WMA is comparitively smaller than WAV, so I personally recommend WMA. I am converting files from ""Microsoft Digital Media Edition""Audio Converter" http://www.microsoft.com/windows/plus/dme/Music.asp#audio.

Just upgrade. This is an issue solved long ago. Newer ROMs are more stable, just get used to them
after you have your file in the phone, make sure you put it in mydocuments/my music folder on MAIN MEMORY, then go to file explorer and find it, hold down the stylus on the song mp3,wma,midi you want and there will be an option to set it as ringtone.
easiest way to do it..
anyway now that this has been answered, i keep a 2gb minisd card full of mp3s on my phone and i need an app that will let me cut a small (30 - 60 sec) clip .mp3 and be able to send it via bluetooth, it doesnt have the option to beam built-in but it would be easier. does anyone know of such a program? (for the phone not for a PC)
again sorry for the thread hijack, theres just no need to create a new one.
I've updated the ROM to the latest version from orange
The ringtones are still in the correct folder
Also tried right click and set to ringtone
Still no change, none of the mp3 files are recognised
It does look as if it is a misprint then in the orange handbook
Note this is an orange SPV M2000
Found out why I had previously downgraded to an old orange ROM
The one (currently) on the orange website is faulty when used with the camera... and causes an internal error
Works perfectly on my i-mate jam
Ya, it not work on M2000/O2.
I think ,this causes the system do no identify MP3 type(you can see the
files property).
Please change .mp3 type to WMa or WAV, then you can enjoy.
doesntwork on my xda 2... i got set it as a ring tone, click it , then nothing else happens :O/
This can be caused if a third party app takes control of the .mp3 extension. I installed a media player and it took .mp3 control away from WMP10. in order for your phone to use mp3 as ringtone it has to be associated with WMP. I had to use pocket tweak to re-associate mp3 to WMP. and this cleared my issue.
ooh, i think i have pocket tweak somewhere, makes me so irrate when other phones less complex can use mp3 ringtones with no fuss and bother. infact this phones annoying ime more and more , its so faddy!
