There is no need to buy this program just put any MP3 files in your "rings" folder in the windows folder on your PPC Phone and then they will come up in the ring tone list when you pick ringtones. It's then free. We all love FREE.

in case you dont know, MP3 format cannot be supported as incoming ringtones for the XDA II, XDA IIs

[tde]

I have an XDAII and was able to use MP3 as ring tones without any issues, either with 1.72 or 2.20 ROM.

no, the IIs does NOT support MP3 in the phone ringer app. The device can play MP3s via media player etc, but they are not supported as ring tones.
WMA is supported as ring tones.
No major biggie for me as I don't wanna use the full bitrate MP3 as a ring anyway - just conver to a Mono 22Khz 48bps WMA instead and only convert the 30 secs - 1 min that the phone would actually ring for.

How come? Please assist me ... thx

[evilc]

guys... just use a free prog (I use audacity) to convert to wma.
You generally don't want all of a stereo mp3 as a ring anyway.
I just take the bit of the mp3 I want as a clip in audacity, and convert it to mono mp3 with a low bitrate. I generally turn the db up as high as it will go (without clipping) as well as you want a ring loud. Audacity will also loop a clip and let you trim it to get it to loop just right.
Then just pop the wma in the rings folder and viola !

How do you get Audacity to convert to .wma??? it only does .wav, .ogg, and .mp3 - as far as I can see..... :?

Mamaich's new WMP10 rom (found in the Blue Angel upgrading forum) gives the XDAIII mp3 ringtone support.

[wilesd]

On MS website (Windows Media downloads section) there is a free down load that will convert MP3 to WMA, will even do Bulk folders if you want

Yes, I did, and WMP10 run smoothly on my PPC, but how to set MP3 file as ringtone?

[ardy45]

copy your mp3 ringtones to directory windows/rings in your device.
and setting your notification phone call with them.

or you can install patch englishmp3ringtone.cab (find this file in ftp xda developer)

[hung_ng]

Thanks, but I can set one MP3 ringtone only, and cannot select other MP3 files in \Windows\Rings from Sound & Notifications settings. In addition, my MTUX ringtoneX 2.0 does not work with MP3 ringtone. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm from Malaysia. I've already upgraded my XDA IIs rom to version 1.33.51 also. But my device also cooked with IA Caller ID version 1.20.
I can assign any ringtone to any contact including mp3 format using the program (Caller ID 1.20). Try it. Thanks.

David,

Use PHM registory or Resco registry for accessing the registry on your device.
HKCR\wavefile\Shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ (Where HKCR is the HK Current User)
copy the key "{E88B4A18-6F77-Abb6-8E0D-DCD4B1F8F1DA}"

Then go to HKCR\mp3file\Shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\
and create a key by pasting the above.

Voila there is your mp3 ringtone. Check and let us knowl.

Hemant.



Then go to this folder

[wstahlhut]

[hung_ng]

Yes, now I can assign MP3 ringtone with IA caller ID 1.20 for each contact, but can not assign for group, any solution? Thanks.

[Fox-UK]

well, I tried it, and it did not work for me on my SX66. anyone else try it?

I had to copy the key manually on my XDA2s. In doing so I noticed a typo in the above key name. It's not Abb6, it's 4bb6.

And I still can't get it to work. :(
