Can I get some ideas on a decent ringtone editor? I'd like to be able to cut up some of my music and since most of the music is encoded with WMAF I'd need to be able to edit WMAF files. I also have some music downloaded via iTunes so it would be good to also be able to edit m4p files as well.
How about converting m4p files into a format Android likes?
Thanks,
Brian
if your talking about on the device, ringdroid is the best, but it doesn't show up in the market for me so you'll have to go find the apk. it is/was a free app so don't worry about piracy.
on the computer, personally i use Magix Ringtone Maker. it's not free but its built for ringtones. it's worked with any file i've tossed at it and allows up to 4 tracks to be used. and you can also save your work if your working on a complicated ringtone. it's made my life a lot easier since for some of my tones i've combined different parts of a song or put multiple sound clips together and with the 4 tracks it's really nice. you can also boost the volume levels and add fade ins and outs.

One other alternative is to use Zedge where you can search for the ringtones you want and download them directly from the app.

good point. zedge has a lot of really nice stuff. especially for notifications. i have about a dozen ringtones through them. but still prefer to make my own.
I always used audacity to make mp3 ringtones out of music. I don't know if it works with other types of music files, but for mp3 it's awesome.

I can't look it up here at work, so I don't know who the dev was, but there was an app in the market called Ringtone Editor Maker that was based on the Ringdroid source code, but added fading in/out functionality. Not sure if it'll show up in the Market for 4.0 devices, but give it a shot.
EDIT: Here it is: Ringtone Maker
+1 for Ringdroid. has done everything i ever wanted it to do. perfectly.

I downloaded some ringtones as mp3 or mp4 but no sound when selected as ringtones. It works if I select it to play in windows media player.
I have 3VO series rom on WM6.5.
check your settings, and make sure you have the ringer on loud and your system all the way up on the slide. hopefully this works.
i was using ringtones downloaded from myxer and they were in mp3d format and would never work. so now i just cut my own songs and make my own shortened mp3's and they work fine everytime.
check the file format on your computer and see what they are.
ignore what i said earlier it is invalid. my problem stemmed from the newest 3vo rom. dont know how to work it out.

Are the files you are trying to use high-quality, or better quality? If so, then try to use ones of lesser quality, since you don't need a HQ sound coming from your cell phone on RING...chances are that loading up that sound (if it is of a higher quality) takes up a decent amount of processing power/RAM, that at one point it just can't process the ring anymore.
I am using the 3vo 2.5 as well...if you want to send me the file, i can see if i figure out what the problem is...(you can email me it, just click my name and send me an email)
Hi everybody, I was wondering if theres a way for my music player not to recognize/show my ringtones?
its kind of annoying having all the the ringtones in the music player.
Bump that i second this because i hate not being able to exclude some media especialy like sipdroid recordings

Not sure how yours got into your music folder, but you should be able to move them using the onboard Files app. The path for my music is /sdcard/external_sd/music, and my ringtones are in /sdcard/external_sd/Ringtones (custom ones I made previously and put on the card). The ones I made with Ringtone Maker are in sdcard/media/audio/ringtones. Not sure where the factory ringtones reside, don't have a problem with them, don't use them, so I haven't found the need to go hunting for them. But you're not talking about the factory ones, are you?
Mine are under ext sd/media/audio/ringtones and none of them show up on my music player

hi there, how can i use my own mp3 ringtones and messages alerts?
Transfer them to notifications or ringtones folder on the phone. Then go into Settings > Sound and change the options under Ringtones and Notifications. If you want to use specific sections of an mp3, use Audacity to do so.
thanks but that works in a limit possibility. i want to use in other programs like mail, k9, facebook, etc and i cant get to use the mp3 choosing in other apps
Try "Rings Extended" from Market

Is there a way to simply change the incoming calls ringtone to an mp3 file that is in my music folder or download folder? I can't believe I have to hook up to my PC and copy a file to the ringtones folder. The stock music player does not see to have an option to set the current song as a ringtone. Didn't this use to work in Gingerbread?

You can install ES File Explorer and if you want to change ringtone, you will have to choose between options: Android System and ES File Explorer. Also it's possible to set ringtone directly from app.

But I do not want to install any additional apps or hook up to a PC and copy a file to the ringtones folder. I have had several phones where all I had to do was locate the song and make it my ringtone. Did we lose this function? Why?

Apparently you do not understand. I am perfectly capable of copying a file. I simply do not want to have to take those extra steps. This used to be a simple process. You just either found a song in your player and chose an option to make it a ringtone or chose it as a ringtone for a specific contact. Now, your only choices are what is in the ringtones folder. Meanwhile, the music player can see it just fine in either the music folder or the downloads folder. This is a step backwards.

There is supposed to be a ringtone editor in JB, but not in mine. And I just got a Play Music app update yesterday and it is still missing.
Well what do you know..... they took it out of the list of JB features on the official site.

Patent issue perhaps?
Lots of people ask me the same things about "simply" adding an MP3 to the ringtones list... But, since Google Play Music arrives, the option disappear. It's good to know the AOSP Music App (really ugly application) has the option to use a Music as a ringtones, but when you install Google Play Music, this app disappear, so as the option you are searching.
In order to help you, I advice you to use a File Explorer Application (Solid Explorer for me) to copy/paste the MP3 on the ringtones folder, it's simple, and I think a file explorer app is a must have on the android world

I already have a file manager app. I was merely pointing out that the JB feature was removed.
dont know if this is common knowledge at this point.. but i love the app ringdroid.
I have been finding free ways to chop up mp3s to make ringtones since my OG moto razor days . This app makes it incredibly easy. Maybe this could even turn into a healthy exchange of ringdroid made ringtones? Depends what music everyone listens to.. I generally go for some electro house or heavy dubstep.
lets see if this takes off!
(I know this is not epic specific and it could go in general android, but lets face it.. i would rather see what the epic peepz have to say, we're just more important)

I think you're confused. Ringdroid is an audio file splicer. You can splice off a segment of an audio file and save that segment as its own file. General purposes are for creating alarm, notification or call ring tones to save to your local storage.
This app doesn't provide songs or access to a song market/outlet.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ringdroid
Now if you are talking about Ringdroid Social, then that is a different story. That version combines the open source Ringdroid project with a social plugin to the "inthru" network. The "inthru" network plugin provides access to a song market/outlet. They are two separate projects and have separate Market pages.

I love this app. Download multiple tracks at once. It has a pretty good library. reminds me of the napster days
Figured there is so many gtunes that aren't real out there or they are outdated so I uploaded my final market official app before it got taken off.(it got taken off back when they were removing music downloaders) This app is a music downloader and it has a built in audio splicer and music player *although I don't recommend the audio player don't even press it, the scan for music takes forever.*
Here once again its not my work so I take no credit for it...

Seriously, it sounds awesome with Perseus audio tweaks and a little bit of tweaking within the player itself. I'm not a big fan of the UI, but it honestly just works.
The only reason I'm switching over is because PlayerPro's EQ and DSP pack were giving me issues. The "bass" knob was going...backwards.
PowerAmp is hideous IMO, but sounds good. Neutron isn't really user friendly, but it sounds epic.
Walkman is nice, but Ac!d audio along with it gave me FC's in Sound Enhancement. (Anyone know how to fix this?)
Anyway,
Perseus headphone amplification up to 63, a u-shaped EQ with +2 and -2 being the limits, negative gain on 1, stereo expansion on 6.
Mild bass/clarity adjustments in the music player, +1 on 3D, +1 on room size.
What can I say, I'm happy. My ATH-M50's suddenly have a new life.
I may flash Ac!d universal again and see how it sounds. I do feel like I can get a bit more sub-bass out of these cans.
Thoughts?
I love the stock music player. The only reason why I'm using poweramp (I like its asthetics fyi but let's ignore that for this discussion) is because of the ability to choose the folders that I want. With the stock music player, it pulls music from my dropbox and also voice recordings. With poweramp, I can prevent that which is better for me. I would use the stock music player otherwise. It also helps when I won a license key from poweramp a while back.

Since you guys seem to love it, and more to the point, use the stock player, I have a simple question.
When you open the player, say from the widget, how do you get back to a menu where you can open/switch-to a new playlist.
So far I only found that possibility when I open the app using the standard icon.
That annoyance has driven me to use apollo pro (a beefed up version of the player on CM9+ firmwares).
I have one major problem with the stock player (though it's really the os default behavior). I have a lot of music on my 64gb sd card (50gb?) and when I open the stock player it freezes while it rescans it all (about a min) - same on closing the player - very annoying. It does it every time so I use Player Pro which opens instantly for music and just use the stock player for podcasts. The other plus for me is Player Pro shows the album art on the lockscreen. I have no issues with the audio quality of either, though I also like and use the controls in Perseus stweaks.

This. The stock music player will happily play every media file on the damn phone, not just my music.
I haven't used a SINGLE stock music player in Android ever due to this issue.
I'm a playlist user. I use iSyncr for mac to get all my music on there, it all shows up fine.
I can agree about folders though. I have used them from time to time, PowerAmp did that job pretty well.
Cant u choose wich folder to play on stock player too? I like the stock player as well.

I still haven't found a third party music app better than PlayerPro. Stock music player is actually quite good (probably the best stock player I've used) but I can't customize it in the same way I can with PlayerPro. And when you combine PlayerPro with the "Equalizer" app (paid version), it's a wrap!
No one likes winamp? I've been using it on pc since I was a kid and the app seems good. Shoutcast radio is also a plus.

Ahh! That's why it was choking and scanning forever - I have no playlists and the music player interface always opened where I left it - on the Songs page/tab. If I leave the interface showing the Playlist tab, it opens without a lag! Now to add a playlist...
Ugh. Using the app to add the playlist is problematic, no impossible. I can choose individual songs to add to the playlist, but as soon as I choose "Select All" it freezes (and never completes the task). Then I tried to make the playlist with various apps but I couldn't get any to make a playlist of all songs given my directory structure (All Music > Genre > Artist > CD). Hmm... What should I call it - suboptimal? ...I finally did make a playlist with my PC version of Winamp (mounting the phone with SGS3 Easy UMS), but I'll probably keep using the Player Pro.
Thank you for that comment though as it explained my problem and gave a workaround (make a playlist with an external app), but I think I have to stick with the opinion that the stock player is poorly made... Though perhaps it would be more correct to say that the Android media scanning default behavior is just crazy bad and needs to be changed - then all the stock music apps would probably work fine. The Gallery app by the way suffers from similar problems for the same reason...
How do you get it to pull from dropbox?
