Open your music program and after playing the mp3, the menu will have "set as ringtone" as an option.

Did you play the ringtone first?

I use ringo lite to attach mp3 as a ringtone to contacts. I think you can set a default ringtone to a mp3 as well.

How come ringo needs all these permissions ?

help pls!!

pls somebody should help me explain how to change the dir of my ringtone to mp3 either using my phone memory or storage card.
i have an 02 xda with processor arm sa1110, 63.20mb and version 3.0.12039
pls help somebody. the windows ringtone is really freakin me out.
Ok fella, take a deep breath. The ringtone will not hurt you, though it is a bit annoying.
If you want to set a different ring-tone copy the file you want (mp3 or WMA) to \windows\rings or \My Documents or the root of your SD card (\Storage card).
Then go to Start->Settings>Sounds and notifications.
In the list select 'Incoming call' then browse for the proper sound for that event.
It is not recommended to keep ring-tones on SD card because it is disconnected during standby so you may still get the default ring because the file is not accessible right away.
You can also assign individual ring-tones to your contacts simply by selecting the desired file in the proper field when creating or editing a contact.
re help
Thanx a lot but it's still the same.
I did all you said but still the same thing.
From the drop down box in settings/sounds & notifications/incoming call, my selected ringtone (wma or mp3) is not even showing for me to select it.
Is there something am doing wrong? Pls help
what about programs add ring tone ?

Question about K's ROM and MediaNet

2 questions. I have K's FINAL installed and it is working great, however I cannot figure out how to put my own ringtones on the phone, no matter where I put them, it doesnt seem to see them.
Does anyone know where they need to go, or what I need to change in the settings?
ALso, I am unable to connect to Media Net now .. All my info is correct, but it will not connect. I can get to the internet, but not medianet... (ie. mobitv and radio wont work, and I cannot reach the medianet homepage.
Thanks for all the help!
run file explorer and goto the media file
tap and hold the .mp3 or .wav and in the option you should be able to see set as ringtone.
Tried that, it gives me the options of cut, copy, rename, delete, send, beam
I figured out the medianet problem. I needed to go to device.home
However I cannot connect with my MobiTV for some reason....... Anyone know why not maybe?

Have you configured your internet settings? If you've used the Connection setup (don't know if he includes it in his ROM), make sure you're on the "Media Net" Profile.
Go to settings > connections> connections > select networks. Make sure "Media Net" is selected. You also might have to screw around with the proxy settings, I think they need to be on for device.home, but some programs may need it off (e.g. TeleNav).

SMS / Texting Sounds - using mp3's

Hey guys - I recently put an mp3 on the phone and wanted to use it as a text message alert. But it won't recognize it in mp3 format - just wav file.
Is there a way to bypass that setting so i can use mp3 vs wav format for text alerts?

It should recognize the .mp3... I just added some .mp3s myself, and they all were recognized as text sounds as well. Where do you place the file once you transfer it over to your phone?
Hi Rip - I had placed it in the Windows Root Diretory. Should I have placed it in another folder?
Where did you place your files?

If you have put the .mp3 on the memory card it has to go on the root dir.

I always place mine in the first screen after you've clicked 'Explore' in ActiveSync. I believe it's called "Mobile Device Center". Afterwards, it should allow you to select the file for texts.

??? Cant Change Ringtone ???

right i had my ringtone set as something personal that i wanted - though i cant even remember how i did that as it was an option somewhere that moved the song its self anyway for some reason i cant use my own ringtones any more - every time that i try to select one it saves but then i open it again and its selected the last ringtone there is some windowsmobile one which i dont want
is it something that i have done?
how do i fix it?
could it be an application that i have used? i added the media player "Nitrogen" could that have affected it?
the apps i have installed:
TomTom Navigator
Southampton Navigator Map
Spb Mobile Shell 3, Weather, Keyboard, time, TV
Dusk comm mgr & misc
VolDeus MS3Config
Fingerkeyboard
HDTweak
changescreen
Nigrogen
could any of these affected it?
Right it seems that Nitrogen isnt the culprit as i uninstalled it and i still cant change ringtone back to what i had it as. i am also missing the option when holding down on a music file to set that as the ringtone i have no idea what i have done but im desperate need of some help
right i might be getting a bit closer - the Touch HD seems to think that all my audio files that i have on my memory card are windows files could this have something to do with it? and i keep coming back to Nitrogen i remember during the installation that it gave me a box to tick for MP3 now, which i ticked could that have something to do with this?
Not sure what you've done to lose the option in file explorer but a workaround is to copy the song/sound you want to the 'My Ringtones' folder which is located in the 'My Documents' folder.
You should then be able to go to the sounds settings and choose your song as a ringtone.
Good luck...

nope i have tried that as well. it wont let me use it from there either - i have them there i can select them it just wont use that song when the phone rings. i just copied a song over from my computer and even that didnt work - still goes back to one from the computer - im running out of ideas maybe im going to be forced to do a hard reset as a soft reset didnt do anything
right its fixed - it took a hard reset though
it happened to me as well
open nitrogen mp3 player
click options--- then settings---- then file associations
and clear the box for use nitrogen to open mp3 files
that causes the problem, i hope it works for you too.

Help - Can't Find Music

I used Windows media player to sync music to the default storage card location which is "my device\storage card\music". When I go to the HTC music Icon it starts searching for music and never finds any. The songs are mp3.
When I first got the TP2, I transfered a few files to the phone prior to getting a microSD card. When I went to the HTC music icon at that time it didn't have any problem finding the music.
What is the solution?
Thanks.
Anybody - need help on this.
Try delete everything (files and folders) under this folder
My Device\Application data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\
(if you have trouble removing the content, reboot your device first)

Thanks for the reply. I tried the following and it worked:
I used Advanced Configuration Manager to change the default location to "\Storage Card\Music".
I deleted the music in the Music folder on my main storage and when I touched the touchflo Audio tab it said searching. I opened up library and when I clicked all songs they started to appear. After I did that, all was good.
yeah i don't like the sync option with windows media player.
i have a question though: how do you keep the music playing when the screen is off? i like to keep my phone in the case & i want to play music thru the speaker but i don't want the screen on.
wtf? double post? how?
my question is: How do you get it to change the artwork? I have the same picture appearing for every song, even though it is a different artist. Why does that happen?

Glad to know that works too
I recently changed my music folder's location (also to Storage card\Music) and Audio Manager refused to refresh. Deleting the content of AudioManager_Eng resolved the issue very well for me without resorting to Advanced Configuration (which I haven't installed)

Do you have to do this step every time you add new music to the phone so TF3D knows to re-index the music folder?
