This Post is redundant & will add no value in merging so I am closing it. Next time use the search function.
The simple search "MP3 for Notifications",

Returned a plethora of valid results. Search button is your friend.

Possibly another obvious question here for you (yawn) my appologies...!
Ive downloaded a few ringtones for my XDA and loaded them onto activesync>mymobiledevice>windows>rings
So, to use them, it should be a simple case of start>settings>phone>ringtone then select the one i want.
However, they dont show in this menu, and i cant find them anywhere else.
Am i missing something?
Thanks
Matt
I don't have the answer to this. Just joining you in the question. Sticking mp3's in the windows/rings directory (of my xda 2) doesn't do the trick. Weird.
Doh. Found the answer: (by using the search button: doh x2)

Ok so now i have it working... i didnt seem to do anything different, my tones have now simply appeared under ringtones - but they wont play! The standard pre-set tones play, but my loaded wav files wont!
Can anyone tell me why? :evil:
wav is an odd std and they differ in format really
if the wav is not acpm type they cant be played
wma is kinda like mp3 and those also works but only for rings not for std pda notifications
Hello guy`s im using HTC HD and from a long time im trying to set diferent ringtone for groups or just for one person and i can`t find anything like this!

Look in this forum for Vip PIM Ringtone from Vipul Patel.
This FREE application will set ringtones according to contact categories. It searchs the entire contacts database and sets the ringtone in each contact file. So, it runs once and does not sit in memory like some other applications.

Adding New Ringtones/SMS Notifications/Alarms
To add new ringtones or SMS alerts, connect your Desire to USB and mount the device on your PC. Browser to the following folders:
Ringtones: /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
SMS Alerts: /sdcard/media/audio/notifications
Alarm Alerts: /sdcard/media/audio/alarms
Copy your mp3 files into either of the folders above. Then go to:
Ringtone:Settings > sound and display > phone ringtone
SMS: Settings > sound and display > notification sound
Alarms: Set the sound when adding a new alarm.
Then select the ring tone you put in the above folder(s).
after you set those folders on your SD card .. your own mp3 will show up in the phone default ringtone menu..
______________________________________
also if you want different ring tones for different groups.. use this application
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.appventive.groupring
you can also find it on Android Market...
please keep us posted if any of you guys find a better application than the one i have found..
thanks..
enjoy
peace.
Hi, I came from the Wizard and am still learning my Rhodium, I have a few questions that will probably give me a "shoulda had a V8" moment once I hear the answers, but I will ask anyway...
1- how do I set speed dial?
On my wizard I was able to assign a button to a person and just press and hold.
2- is there any way/program to create a zoom function on the camera?
3- how do I make a tab/shortcut to NOTIFICATIONS?
4- I installed a Facebook app, other than putting it in the start menu or in the programs tab, is there a way I can create a dedicated tab (like people, calendar, messages, settings, etc) to go to Facebook?
5- where the heck do I put tunes I want to use as an alarm sound (not to be confused with ringtones)?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Here's me smacking my forhead...Shoulda had a V8!!

Voted.
I have tried dropping my sounds into the main windows directory, but when I go to set an alarm, it isn't reading my tunes. Perhaps there is a size limit or is it wav specific? I have even tried naming the file alarm-name as I have seen that in windows. I have tried resetting my device...nothing.
Do you have any idea what I may be doing wrong?
Again, thank you.

1. Go to the contact, hit the Menu softkey and "add to speed dial".
2. The zoom bar just below the TP2 screen zooms the camera.

I believe that alarm sounds must be in WAV format, or they won't be recognized.

Thank you, I didnt even know that, I should have RTFM LOL! but thank you!
It took me some time to figure out what the hell the zoom bar was, but now I think I have it.
I will try converting my files to wav format and maybe the alarms will work.
Setting a speed dial contact is next on my list.
Thank you for all the advice so far!!
Now does anyone have any idea if I can make a dedicated tab for Facebook, and also how to make a shortcut or tab for notifications?
Thanks in advance.
I am still trying to make more prominent/easier shortcuts or actual TF3 tabs for Facebook and notifications.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
I do have the Facebook app loaded in the programs tab and in the start menu. What I'd like to do is have an actual TAB...like Home, Weather, Programs...Facebook.

As far as I know those are preset into the 3d software, so its either going to have to be an update or one of the gurus here will have to hack the system.
For alarms, I like to use spoon alarm, it seems to work much much better at finding songs to use as alarms (and its really easy to use). Only thing thats no good is that you can't set multiple alarms like the windows one. Plus every soft reset you will have to reload spoon alarm for it to go off, but you can play music

To get them to show up for notifications and events:
- WAV files go in \Windows.
- MP3 & WMA files can work too, but you have to put them into \Application Data\Sounds
This should be the same for the alarm sounds, but I haven't actually used the alarm on mine yet (had it about 2 weeks).
Morning all
I'm getting a bit frustrated my the inability of the Samung music library to pick up and sort my mp3's into the correct albums
I have one album split into two albums, one with 6 tracks on, the other with 2 tracks on and then a number of individual songs with no artist name associated just a track number?
I've tried retagging them but can't really find a decent app for it... what do you guys use?
On my PC I use EasyTAG (Linux only I think) and MusicBrainz Picard (cross-platform). The latter has the ability to take a fingerprint of any music file, match it up against its online database, and download complete ID3 information. It's generally accurate and a huge time-saver.
I don't know of any retagging apps for Android, though.
try this...
if you're using windows, try this - it's free :
http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html
it's important to make sure that each file only has a single set of tags rather than multiple tags which confuse applications. mp3tag can do all sorts of things like set your tags based on the filename and delete old tags.
Cheers lads, I'll check em all out asap...
If I should only have one set of tags, should they be v1 or v2?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
pretty sure i've gone for v2 and my files are identified correctly ...
make sure the album title is exactly the same as a tiny differences (e.g. caps) might result in your situation.
mp3tag is great in recognizing and editing tags and i think it changes them all so you dun have to worry about v1/v2=)

+1. The only tagging software you'll ever need. Customisable to the nth degree, never let me down after 4 years.
Any ideas if i should use ID3v1 or ID3v2.3? From a quick Google search Android 2.3.3 seems to have an issue with reading id3 tags and correctly sorting mp3 files.

I love this software Thanks man....
I tagged a load of alums with ID3v2.4 and they are being recognized.. happy days
I personally use mediamonkey myself I found it with my own creative zen so I could add album art to the Id3 tags i got a licence just offering another option

Ideally I'd like to change my ringtone to a song and I'd like to make my text message notification the brief piano intro to outkast's roses. Is there any easy way to go about doing this?
Thanks!
in your sd card there are folders called 'Notifications' and 'Ringtones.' put the respective sound files (they should be in m4a format) where they belong. reboot and they should appear in the settings under sound.

if you have the .mp3 file i suggest using ringdroid then edit the music file to where you want it to start and stop :good:

MP3 ringtone maker works great for me. It's free, lets you search and download songs within the app and has a great editor for cropping in/out points. What more could you ask for?
if you need the ringtone to repeat, I believe it has to be in ogg format and you need to add a parameter to it in the id3tags to tell it to repeat. I did this on my ex's Galaxy Nexus S. I am sure there is more info on this in the general section of the android forums.
Here is a link to the topic I was talking about:

I've always used audacity on my pc to make the ringtone, then copy over to ringtones/notifications folder
