ohh cool, i'll give it a shot then, new to this still...only been tweaking my phone for about 5 weeks now

Yea search audacity tutorials on google. Basically you just open up the android_audio.mp3 file and the song you want to use in audacity. Copy/paste the parts you want together. Then export it as mp3. Adb it to your phone like normal and tada.

my ringtones don't repeat

any custom ringtone i try on the phone, whether .ogg .mp3 .wav will only ring once and stop repeating during the call, however the phone keeps vibrating on
stock tones work fine
another sidebug: if you have no bars and try to make a call, the phone gives you error saying to turn off airplane mode which it's not in
wtf??

I have the same issue

same here.. I want my custom ringtone to be used on my new GN

I've found that myself...
MP3 ringtones won't repeat.
It will loop ringtones if you convert the mp3 to OGG format, and in the file info (you can edit this in Winamp for example), create a field called ANDROID_LOOP and set the value to TRUE.

Where do you store the ogg file to use it for custom ring tones?
Bug or intentional... Hmm

Funnily enough, in the folder called "ringtones" when you connect it up to your PC.
There's a seperate folder for notifications...
and there's also a seperate folder for alarms!
Fun isnt it?

Interesting, so they're forcing us to use the OGG format.
Will the created field work on a regular MP3?

I don't use winamp, but itunes.
How can i edit the file info?
I can edit information about title, album, author..

Could someone post a screenshot of the created field with winamp ?

Same issue here with a mp3 again as above.
Will try to create and edit the ogg later.

Oh, I cannot imagine OGG format can solve the problem. Before I see this, I write a really little app to solve the problem.
Cyclic Ringtone
http://market.android.com/details?id=thinkpanda.cyclicringtone

Yes, sucks that it doesn't loop.
You guys can always use a program called "goldwave" to lengthen your mp3's. Copy and paste the mp3 until it's as long as you need...

No, I did not dismiss your solution. On the contrary, I do really appreciate the OGG+ANDROID_LOOP way to solve the ringtone issue I apologize if I give you an impression that I don't like it.
It just turn out that I see this thread after I have finished the app...
As a ordinary user point of view, I like your solution more than mine. But there are scenarios that it is not always easy to convert a ringtone to OGG from MP3 and add a flag on the street. (may be someone develop an app for that? )

I found it easier to convert the file in Audacity and in the save dialog box you can add a new field called ANDROID_LOOP and set it to 'True'
Worked fine

Thank you all for the very useful information I have found in this thread. I have a question though: is this also applicable for alarms, or just for actual ringtones? TIA

I was "served" with this issue too with my brand new Galaxy Nexus. The ring tones I use are already in OGG format, just lacked the ANDROID_LOOP tag. Instead converting them again with Audacity, I found a little proggie which can just edit the tags. Here is a link to the download location - http://www.gausi.de/flogger-en.html
Sources are included as well as pre-compiled version (just exe to start - no installation or anything - very simple). Precompiled one is in German, but isn't difficult to figure out. Worked for me like a charm to make my ring tones looping. Thanks for the ANDROID_LOOP tip!!!

hmm...not sure about alarms, the ones i took off my old N900 repeat OK when the alarm goes off so i dont know if it's just rings tones, why not give it a try and see for youself?
Not like you have to wait for your usual alarm to test it!

And for the linux guys (like me) this is a simple batch command that will convert a mp3 file to a an ogg auto-repeat ringtone:
mpg321 custom_ringtone.mp3 -w raw && oggenc raw -c "ANDROID_LOOP=TRUE" -o custom_ringtone.ogg ; rm -f raw

[HOW TO]make OGG files without downloading software

The following link is to an online file converter. You can upload any sound file and convert it to ogg, wav, mp3 and wma. I use this site all the time. You can use this to convert sound clips into files for your PowerOff and PowerOn. Once you download the converted file, name it PowerOn.ogg and replace the file in SYSTEM/MEDIA/AUDIO/UI and when you boot the phone on this is the file that will be played. If you want to do PowerOff sound file make sure to make an OGG and a WAV file the Off sequence.
Make sure to make a copy of the original PowerOn or PowerOff file, in case you dont like what ever you made.

I use Sony SoundForge
but there's alot of different software that will let you save as a OGG file.

I like sound fordge too but ill give the site a try, thanks for the heads up.

This is a website, no need to download any software on your PC. I hate to have to download software that I will only use from time to time. That is why I posted this link, i am sure there are others out there that do not want to download software just to convert a few files.

It is back up, sorry about that. I swore I had in there

What is the advantage of having a file in that format? I use a custom ringtone that is a "midi" file. Why would I worry about converting it?

For power on and power off sounds. The power on is an ogg file as the power off along with a wave file.
So you can make whatever sound clip you want to hear when you turn the phone off and on.

Aha, Explodingboy did something similar to this a while back for some other phone function. I had the Stewie "How dare you!" on my phone for a while. It was hysterical. I still don't understand why it has to be in that format, unless you are saying only that format would work. You do mention other formats in the first post.

I forgot I had posted this.

does the sound file have to be a certain length or will a 3 or 4 min song just cut off when the phone finally powers up?thanks in advance for the help.

I use Audacity for this, but it's not a bad find. Thanks for the reference!

Pretty much just find a sound on zedge or whatever and rename it to poweron or off.ogg and itworks fine

[APP]Jay-Z MagnaCarta HolyGrail Save music to phone and play as MP3's

I don't see one of these yet so here goes: if you got the Magna Carts Holy Grail app and downloaded the album on the app but want to delete the app but still have the music do as I say. Muahahahaha.
*Download the album in the app.
*Go to the file explorer of your choice and go to: sdcard0/Android/data/com.samsungmobileusa.magnacarta/cache/_tmp
*All the files that end in tmp, rename them and add ".mp3" on the end, without the quotations, of course.
*Move them to a folder, properly labeled in your music directory.
*Dunzo!
I use poweramp, so when I click on each track, it plays it in poweramp and displays the track name. You can go back and re-label each one with the proper name and number it as it is on the album. If you don't know what number it is, Google the album. A track list will be in a link in the results.
Enjoy the album, much love, y'all!
Here is the track list according to wiki:
1."Holy Grail" (featuring Justin Timberlake)
2."Picasso Baby"
3."Tom Ford"
4."F***WithMeYouKnowIGotIt"
5."Oceans" (featuring Frank Ocean)
6."F.U.T.W."
7."Somewhere in America"
8."Crown"
9."Heaven"
10."Versus"
11."Part II (On the Run)" (featuring Beyoncé)
12."Beach is Better"
13."BBC"
14."Jay-Z Blue"
15."La Familia"
16."Nickels and Dimes"
Edit: Thanks to a fellow XDA member, I found this out. The app also downloads the tracks to sdcard0/music/. They aren't numbered though, so use the track list above for reference. Also use the above directory map to delete the tmp files after app uninstall to free up space.
+Cool story, bro!
+The "Thanks" you get from me is not just thanks, but can be laughing, props, +1, and so on

Huh, for me, all of the files were in Android/data/com.samsungmobileusa.magnacarta/cache/_temp/remote-cache
Also, none of the files ended in .temp instead they were either .bdy or .hdr
Renaming the .bdy files to .mp3 worked.
I wonder why my files were named differently, Oh well, Thank you for sharing this Jelly.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

If you went to remote cache, you have gone too far. Here is a shot, and I have already renamed these to .mp3. Also, in remote cache, look at the size of those files, WAY to small to be a should song of music...
+Cool story, bro!
+The "Thanks" you get from me is not just thanks, but can be laughing, props, +1, and so on

Worked!!
Thanks Dude!! Worked awesome!!! Got the tracks, got Rid of the app!! Awesome work!!!

My music wasn't in the folder you specified. All I had to do was go to Storage/SDcard0/Music and all the songs were there, already as mp3s.

Hah, you know what, mine are too. Odd that the app would download to two places. I keep all my other music on my sdcard1 so I never look in the music folder on my internal. Well, the ones labeled already on the internal, so if nothing else, peeps can use the track list I provided to number them. Thank you. I'll edit the OP.
+Cool story, bro!
+The "Thanks" you get from me is not just thanks, but can be laughing, props, +1, and so on

The app couldn't play the music it downloaded!
I downloaded the clean versions.
The music appeared in the place you first said so I copied it into the extsdcard/music folder and renamed tracks like you said.
They all play fine now.
Thanks

Im on stock touchwiz. I didn't have to relocate any files. I downloaded the app and after a few minutes and a restart the music appeared in the stock music player. Nothing else was needed to get the music to play on my music player. Also........I don't pop molly i rock tom ford

[TUT] Manually adding lyrics on Sense 5 Music Player

Hi guys, after few days playing around with the new Sense 5 Update for our HOX, I have figure out a way to add the lyrics to songs in the Music Channel Feature by yourself. That is a great feature which is simple and fun, however sometimes the database either doesn't have your favorite tracks' lyrics or gives you the wrong one.
First, go on the internet and search for the song's lyrics. Remember, if you want it to works properly, you need to find two types of lyrics: the normal text one, and synchronized one which is found in .lrc file types.
The first normal text ones are easy to find through famous sites such as metrolyrics or azlyrics,etc..
The .lrc files are a bit harder looking up and not always available on the internet. You could learn how to make one yourself right here
If you know any good sites that share this type of lyrics, please share
Second, create a notepad and paste the normal lyrics that you found to there, save the file without any extension, name it Songfilename_lyric.
In the same way, copy the content of the synchronized lyrics to notepad, save the file without any extension, name it Songfilename_lrc (LRC not IRC)
For example, If your song file name is ABC.mp3, name the files ABC_lyric and ABC_lrc
Third, plug the phone into your computer, copy two files that you've created to
Computer\HTC One X\Internal storage\Android\data\com.htc.musicenhancer\files\.albumarts\storage_external\Music
Remember, look for a file name Songfilename_not_available in that directory, if it exists, delete it
Enjoy
Note:
The _lrc file is required for the lyrics to pop up while you're playing music, if you don't want it, then you don't have to create
Try to google search "filetype:lrc Song Name" if you don't find any synchronized lyrics with normal searching
If you have any questions, leave a comment
I will try to add Screenshots as soon as possible

VERY nice! . Thank you, sir.

Thanks! Have you tried to see if the music player recognizes any ID3-tag based embedded lyrics? I have tried using minilyrics on a PC to embed lyric tags but it apparently did not work. Does tagging work for anyone or we have to use this manual method if lyrics aren't recognized?

not working for me..
I followed the procedure very carefully step by step but it didn't work on my phone .. any ideas?

sorry but I didn't take any screenshot.. I took a few old .lrc files I've had for a few years (that I used for an old mp3 player), checked the info tags at the beginning and the time stamps for each verse, added _lrc at the end of the name and removed the .lrc extension, then created another file with only the lyrics, added _lyric at the end of the name and removed the extension.. the last two folders in the path you gave us didn't exist on my phone so I created them, obviously didn't have to check for files with the song name and _notavailable at the end so I copied the two new files to the last folder in the path..
I keep my music in the default folder, namely 'Music'
UPDATE: I just noticed that the phone constantly deletes that last folder in the path (with all the files I copy to it) right after I create it, I have tried several times now.. why could that be?
