You should be able to use .wma as well.. :? I found a way to locate the .mp3 to be used in the ringtone section, but I didn't figure out yet the way how 2 play it.

As far as I konw, you have to convert MP3 to wma or wav to use it as a ringtone.

Can they be stored on the SD card by default or is there a third party app for this?

Having solved this here is what to do:

Download an app to convert MP3 to wav or wma

Convert file to Wav or wma then copy to storage card

Then Start, Settings, System, Add Ring Tone

This will bring up a list of all the wav etc files on the MDA III just select the one, ones you want to add then they become available as ringtones

Hope this helps

Edit registry at
\HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\
Under Directory change it into \Storage Card\ or \Storage Card\ANY FOLDER NAME YOU WANT\ (example - \Storage Card\WMA\ )

As I understand it. If you don't do the registry hack above, the ringtone is copied into main memory any way, so it's pointless having it on the storage card.

Just don't run addringtone then it would not search for all ring types, simply goto start>settings>phone>select your ring tone (the hack actually forces the phone to not move the ringtone into the \windows\ring\ directory, hence no wastage of space)

I'm a new XDA II buyer and would like to know how I download themes and screensavers.

If anyone can tell me a good website where I can get this for free I would be most appreciative.
