Official 'Lets find some decent sounds' Thread

Ok, i dont know about anyone else but im getting fed up with the standard ringtones, message tones, notifications etc etc.
This can be the thread where we all contribute to getting everyone some decent sounds on there Hermes!
Feel free to add any sounds for any purpose, im sure someone will appriciate yours!

LoL.. I see you hooked up on rings..
Well.. here I will share mine.. I got a lot more but those can`t be shared since they are commercial..
But the free ones I collected are here..
There is a folder named "Made by Shamanix".. in there are rings that I`ve made out of couple of songs that I like very much ( music that I personally listen to )
They are kinda little too big ( only 2 of them ), but I am not in the mood to edit them now..
Tell me what you think

Enjoy..

Theres some good ones in there matey! The msg one is good but a bit long lol.
Started the thread well!

nice thread... err... i will find some nice ones too and post it here

Here's a little something...
...I put together a while back. It is also a bit large, but it works as a ringtone, and also as an alarm from within PhoneAlarm (where I use it to let me know when my train has arrived at my station).
It is a small clip from the Dark Side of the Moon Album by Pink Floyd ... many of you might remember the bells/clocks sequence just before the song "Time".
That album was always one of my favs, and as such, I clipped this out to use as an alarm.
Hopefully, I'm not breaking any copyright laws by posting it here. If I am, PLEASE Mods, go ahead and delete it.
-pvs

I like the Nokia dead one.
But does anyone have the same concept but for a regular old school telephone ring?

Anybody back up their WM5 rings?
I'm missing some of the stock WM5 rings (like "fantasy" which I used for phone calls). Maybe someone out there backed up their WM5 files? Or can somehow upload some of the stock from their prior build?

The Windows Mobile Extras site has some free ones that are alright. I use the Halo theme from there. It's much fun.

here some i made for me and the wifey..about 30 of them. Also included 2 message tones: Homer "mail call" and star trek's "incoming transmission

Rename to .wma for the 24 CTU ringtone

So people, if you like a sound either for alarm, sms or ringtones
lets collect them here!
Best regards!

If you really want to find best ringtones etc you should not limit the thread to HD only. The only reason to do that would be the acoustic differences between models speakers and "sounding boards". But I can assure, these differences are SO small

If you heard a nice ringtone or tone i think it's a good idea
to have one place to request and maybe if you got lucky
there is someone who can add the wanted tone!!!
Cheers!

ChevronWP7 custom ringtone manager

I didnt see a thread so i just thought i would let people who did already know that ChevronWP7 released their Custom Ringtone Manager Today
you can Find It Here http://www.chevronwp7.com/

lol i was just coming on too see if anyone posted it, Just checked the site before bed randomly and saw that
Whay

Wow...it's a ghost town here. This is big news people!

That's gonna be really really amazing.
THX!

Tried it like 2 mins after they posted it up on twitter and it worked perfect. If there's any Fringe fans out there you may like the attached ringtone. I grabbed it from a rom I downloaded a while back and converted for use on WP7.

Oh my...I still wasn't able to unlock my Omnia7 with chevron-application. Always getting the USB error.
But I'd really like to have my custom ringtones

This works for me. Just dandy!!
For those who like Indiana Jones... 2 different tunes

Basic ringtone
Here is a basic ringtone. No Fur Elise, no Lady Gaga.... Just...
bleeleeleeleep .... bleeleeleeleep .... bleeleeleeleep ....
Was it sooooo much to ask for, that the phone come stock with an absolutely boring, non-personality ringtone?

Only problem I'm having is finding a converter to make them MWV

here you go , its 100% free and worked real well.

You can use (free) Microsoft Expression Encoder.

I tried this one but it isn't one for noob's ( I am that noob and I didn't understand a F*** of it )

Does the ringtone manager allow you to set your own alarm sounds / sms tones too?

No, only ringtones.
And you can only add new ringtones, not modify or delete existing.

Thx I'm gonna give it a try when I get home

Also, I think Microsoft Expression Encoder is free. You can convert.... almost anything to well... almost anything. Definitely to 48Khz WMA.

the ringtone it work.. well i added 5 personal ringtone

Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone that think otherwise...if you add 5 ringtones through the XAP and then reload an additional 5 ringtones it won't replace the ringtones, you'll get the other 5 (or more) in addition. Don't know if anyone was curious, but I was so I experimented with it.

Seeing how MS blocked/demanded they remove their other hacks, maybe someone should put a backup location for this app, just in case.

It doesn't have to be 48khz. I've loaded a few 44.1khz wmas and Chris Walsh himself acknowledged that 44.1 khz works as well in the comments.

[Q] Help! 3ga to mp3 converter

Last night I just held my S2 at shoulder level half way back in one of my wife's concerts in a 12th century abbey here in France, and to my complete surprise the "voice recorder" has produced the most superb recording when I was about half way back in the room (swallows and bats flying around as well!).
Only one problem.
I can send the file to my box.net site and everyone can download and listen using Apple Quick Time, but the French would love to convert to mp3.
I can't seem to find a programme that does it.
Thanks for any help.

Arrogant! Go back to where you come from. You could read the thread subject and avoid it if you don't want to give you help.
I was looking for the same info, as I didn't find anything useful by searching on google.

May work for you to change 3ga to mp3
Hi,
This isn't very technical, however, I just changed the file extension from .3ga to .mp3 . I just gave it a try out of frustration and it now plays as an mp3 on all of my devices.
be sure to copy the file and then change the file extension on the copied file in case it doesn't work for you.
Hope it helps.

Hi major c,
I had the same problem a few days ago. I solved the 3ga to mp3 converting problem and wrote a small HowTo. I used the programm "3GP to MP3 Converter".
Here you will find a short description how to convert 3ga to mp3 files.
Hope this helps you,

While this method allowed me to play the file, I still couldn't edit it, since it's not actually an mp3 file. I tried the SUPER converter software suggestion posted earlier. Great conversion software that is completely free and supports the .3ga format (as well as many others). Worked for me.

thanks for links to super and formatoz otherwise I would be going around in circles.
got here via google!

I FIND GOOD WAY to make the file.3ga work just change 3ga to 3gp and play with windows media player ver 12 it work very good

I arrived here via google..
I had a 58 minute file that needed to convert, and although changing the extension did allow me to play the file on the computer, it began after the 12 or 15 min to have blank spaces in the audio (like if I pressed "mute" for a second every 20 or 30 seconds).
The solution with SUPER erightsoft did worked perfectly, dropped the file, selected mp3 and reenconded it in 10 minutes. I just played the entire file and it doesn't has any gaps or blank spaces.
Thanks!

[Q] ringtone

i was suprised to see the ringtone size limitation(300kb) implemented on the newer androids. i didnt see any posts from the smarter folks on a work around or even trying to remove all together (like on froyo for example). is this only important to me? i understand how to recompress an mp3 file to achive required size or use 1 of the available market apps to accomplish the goal. i just thought it was nice to add any old song out of the library on a wim(i would change my wifes ring 2 or 3 times ina given day depending on how much she annoyed me)
guess im wondering if i bothers anyone else or if anyones working on a fix?

there are some (music) apps on the play store that can process ringtones.
I use PowerAmp (unfortunately it's a paid one) and use it to set ringtones. If you have GoSMS, that app also sets ringtones.....hopefully this one helps. If you are talking about "Assigning Tones" among contacts, it's quite challenging.
EDIT: oh...and just observed that .WAV files do good as tones...

Use Ringdroid - create your own ringtone from existing library songs, and cut them down to 30 seconds or less - if your phone rings longer, you get charged for the call

so its an carrier things not an andriod? its nice not to have to edit songs in ringdroid just add straight from your music dir. maybe if i load a rogers based rom....

Interesting that AT&T would do this but it makes good business sense.
Not many people know how to edit songs to make ring tones so rather then learn they will pay AT&T for there 2$+ ringtones.
Glad Rogers does not do that. I just find it's hard to find a good song that starts off relatively loud for a ringtone. This is why many people edit and grab the middle or the chorus of the song.
