Is there a software out there which would enable this to be done?
Thanks

Ringtone formats available on XDA2 are .mid .wav and .wma
MP3 is not supported.
.wma does the same job, but at slightly smaller file sizes...
Third party software would be unlikely to help, as base OS support is what governs what can be used.
Thanks
There are loads of freeware converters on the net to turn your MP3 into a WAV or WMA.

Hi
Edited a WAV file and stored in my storage card. It plays OK in my XDA2 but when I tried to use it as a ringtone for the phone, it does not play any sound other than some clicking noises.
Please help.
make sure your wav is PCM.. xda II doesnt support all formats of wav.

Is there a utility to convert this to PCM WAV format? Thanks.
To convert WAV file so will play on XDA2, use the windows utility Sound Recorder: sndrec32.exe
Open the wav file in Sound Recorder.
Click File -> Properties
Click Convert Now button
Change Format combo to 'PCM'
Change Attributes combo to 11.025KHz, 8 Bit, Mono
You don't really need more than that as XDA2 doesn't play stereo.
anyone here knows how i can incorporate an mp3 as a ringtone via software or utilities without having converting them into wav files?
;p
well you could try and convert it to wma then you could use it
or play the song you want via the media player; then hop over to your notes app and record the tune you want. the recording is already in wav and you can use it directly as a ringtone. doubt if you want to record the entire song as a wav since you'll be answering the phone after a few seconds worth of tunez....quality is a-ok in my opinion...
cheers
needs to be in wma format
Dude
the xda 2 can only use wav & wma files for ringtones.
i use a free prog called dbpoweramp which can convert pretty much any known audio file. u can get it from here:
http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm
u will also need to grab the correct codec (WMA) from their codec central section, and ur sorted.
Hope this helps

I've no problem using midi for ringtones. Only the alarm/reminder/etc are still using wav.
Hi All!
I'm a newbie to the XDAIIi scene but have owned a pocketpc and sony clie handheld device. My problem is that I cannot set MP3's as ringtones. Does anyone know of a workaround or is there any freeware or alternative software that will allow me to do this? I have even encoded some MP3's to .wma & .wav format with the right encoding specs, but to no avail!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

can the mp3 be read off from other directories in the storage card?
MP3 Ringtones on XDAIIi
cychiam,
MP3's can be read from anywhere on ur PPC, especially external storage cards, but if ur using them as ringtones, I believe they have to reside in the 'Ring' folder in the 'Windows 'directory.
An important note for anyone who has had problems, like me, getting to use MP3's as ringtones on ur XdaIIi is: If you have a third party piece of software installed on ur PPC like, Betaplayer or the DivX Player, you must uncheck the association it has with MP3's under the Players settings/options. Else it will prevent the Xda being able to associate itself with MP3's as ringtones! Took me the better half of two weeks to find this simple solution and the credit goes to someone else, I just found the answer on another forum.
Hope this helps someone.

wow, thanks 4 d nice tip...mp3 tones can now be seen..but they won't play as i click play..is this just normal?
Hi guys.. A little late in the day but much appreciated
hi
i have just put some MIDI files on my xda mini, which play just fine with some of that integrated windows software.
unfortunately i cannot use them as ringtones. (i have put them in /windows/rings, where i found that o2 custom ringtone)
i think its simply the file format thats ignored by my magician.
what file formats are readable for the magician (wm 2003 in general?) for ringtone usage?
tia
wav, wma & mp3 shouldn't give you any probs. when you put them in the rings folder. Use mp3 patch to be able to select mp3 files as ringtone with file explorer.
regards, M
I'm using *.mp4 for ringtone.
What do you use to play them? Caller id?
Nice tag too.
M
I have converted from *.mp3 to *.mp4 using nero 6.1.Then I download TCPMP player and many plugins.After that I found that I can use the *.mp4 for a ringtone.That is! :wink:
Thank you for the tag...
Ok,
I got Nero & TCPMP, so going to try it out. I use oldphone for ring, but very curious whether this works.
M
yes its very bad.My ringtone now is Elize - Automatic.
Do yo know about the *.mp4 format?When not I tell you!
I use it for film, not for music. 'till now
it plays very very good the songs.About the *.mp4 format.It is smaller then the *.mp3.Normal the mp3 is about 4-5Mb and the mp4 is 1-2.With the same bitrate like mp3.That is.
Regards
First of all I tried search this, but with no results.
On Vario II, is it possible to use basically any mp3 song as an alarm (wake up, notification)?
Love to wake up with a favourite song rather than the irritating default tunes...!
What strings did you use as a search?

reverts to Default...
thanks. I put couple .wav files to the windows folder. they now appear in the drop down list in alarms, but when I click the wav I want it quickly automatically reverts to Default sound... weird?!
I try always my best to search answers before I post... don't know why didn't spot that one. thanks again.
maybe your WAV is not supported. What I usually do is run the WAV in Windows' soundrecorder and convert it or save as to PCM 22.050 Khz, 16Bit, Mono for alerts/system sounds.

You can use mp3 files directly - no need to convert to .wav. Just make sure that the extension ".mp3" is *not* associated with any program other than Windows Media Player. Many music players do associate themselves with .mp3 files during installation.
Also, the mp3 you want to use should be in either the \Windows or the \Windows\Ring folder.
