Cant believe no one hasnt asked the question before but does anyone know how I can use wav or mp3 files for ringtones on an XDA 1? I did search but cant find anything.
Thanks for any help
Point pocket IE at file://\Windows\AddRingTone.htm
Basically any .wav file located in the \Windows folder is available for use as a ring tome.
Thank you kind Sir,
I'm like a plonker and been trying to use mp3 but just used sound forge to convert to wave.
ms dident invent mp3
ms invented wma
ms like things ms invent
use a free program such as
cdex to make mp3 and wav and what ever to wma

You should be able to use .wma as well.. :? I found a way to locate the .mp3 to be used in the ringtone section, but I didn't figure out yet the way how 2 play it.
As far as I konw, you have to convert MP3 to wma or wav to use it as a ringtone.
Can they be stored on the SD card by default or is there a third party app for this?

Having solved this here is what to do:
Download an app to convert MP3 to wav or wma
Convert file to Wav or wma then copy to storage card
Then Start, Settings, System, Add Ring Tone
This will bring up a list of all the wav etc files on the MDA III just select the one, ones you want to add then they become available as ringtones
Hope this helps
Yes ringtones can be stored on xda iis and xda ii
Edit registry at
\HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\
Under Directory change it into \Storage Card\ or \Storage Card\ANY FOLDER NAME YOU WANT\ (example - \Storage Card\WMA\ )
O2 Techies Asia :roll:
As I understand it. If you don't do the registry hack above, the ringtone is copied into main memory any way, so it's pointless having it on the storage card.
Default ringtone location changed
Just don't run addringtone then it would not search for all ring types, simply goto start>settings>phone>select your ring tone (the hack actually forces the phone to not move the ringtone into the \windows\ring\ directory, hence no wastage of space)

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

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
Ever since I got my XDA IIs, any .wav file i add to my pda, i cannot play it... When i click on the file, the little rectangular box comes up and I press play. Less than a second after het, it stops playing... this means I can't use any wav files as ringtones!
I can olny play them using a 3rd party app (Betaplayer)...
Has anyone else experiened this problem, or does anyone have a fix?
Cheers
Richard
Don't have this problem on my Qtek 9090 and can't imagine why it doesn't work for you. The Windows default ringtone is .wav !!! Does this work ?
Yes,
all the default ones work, but whatever other .wav files I put on don't work?!
Its really annoying 'cos all the default ones are really crap!
PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP!!!!
Cheers
Rich
Make sure the wav files are PCM-format.
Use Windows Sound Recorder (Programs, Accessories, Entertainment) to 'save as' this format. You can also alter bit-rates etc
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

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
