Not working for me. Installed, no error messages, but I still can't use mp3's as ringtone. Actually in file manager mp3's are not associated with any programs. Could someone give any help?

[fone_fanatic]

you dont need anything to set a .mp3 as a ringtone, just place the mp3 file in the rings folder under windows and go to the tone selection screen and it will be there.
PLACE MP3 FILE IN FOLLOWING FOLDER
\\My Device\Windows\Rings
then do this
Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications(on bottom)
Then Event:.. scroll down to Phone: Incoming Call then tap the drop down box by ring tone and it will be there.


There should deffinately be a FAQ sticky for this kinda stuff

So it can't be done without placing the mp3 in the ringtones directory? In deed it's not working for me that way either. I can see the mp3 on the list, but after choosing and pressing an OK, it sets itself back to windows default. Actually I can't use anything else than windows default. I'm really getting mad, plz help! Where is the file associations menu? Maybe there's some problem there. This thing is messed up since I've installed and uninstalled winamp...

It would appear that by default mp3 ringtones are allowed, however once you install a third party app to play mp3's (you mention winamp) you lose the ability to use them(it seems that the Media player engine is used for this).Uninstalling the app makes no difference, you then have no mp3 player because the mobile version of windows does not restore the file association. The best way round this that I have found is to simply use an audio app (Nero wave editor in my case) to convert/edit the mp3s to wma. This has the bonus that most mp3 tracks are too long for a ringtone (how many phones ring for 3-4 minutes without kicking in the answering service ?) so when you convert you can also reduce the length.
I cant comment on the set ringtone cab posted here, never tried it, it may work

HTH

[cool_paki]

I am able to install the cab file without any error message but still can't use mp3's as ringtone. The mp3 file appears in the Sound and Notification drop down list, but whenever I select the mp3 file and try to play, it doesn't play and return back to Windows Default ringtone. Can anyone tell me that what is the problem?

The same problem I have. Also I don't think so that the easiest way to solve it is to convert each of my mp3's to wma or whatever. Somehow there should be a way to restore the file associations. Maybe if someone would have a media player to install (re-install) that could solve it. The problem is that I've also lost my former ringtones. :(

Have a look at this thread here. Ive just downloaded the files but not tried em yet. Seems to be able to restore file associations so that WMP becomes your default player. This should then allow you to use mp3's as ringtones

GO TO START/SETTING/PERSONAL/PHONE (AND SELECT YOUR MP3 FROM THERE).

CHEERS,

So the file associations are normal again, thx to your help. But how can I set an mp3 as ringtone which is stored on the sd card other than copying it to the ringtones folder as it takes far too much space from the main memory? The settings-ringtones does not find the mp3 files either on the sd or in the system memory, only wavs and mids.

[Yaarubaskar]

@Szilu


I'm afraid there is no other choise but to copy the mp3 ringtone to the main memory.


Im sorry :cry:

[Szilu]

That's a pity. Anyway can you suggest any programs then to cut mp3's to smaller pieces? As 4 minutes is far too much thus the size can be shrinked. THX for your kind help.

[Yaarubaskar]

Try "Sound Forge", But im not sure if it support mp3 files or .waqv only, their you can cut the file to small pieces.

good luck.

[Yaarubaskar]

try "Sound Forge", but im not sure if it support mp3 files or only .wav files.

btw: 80% it support mp3.


good luck

[Szilu]

It can be solved by remove the associated in the music player u installed.But after go into sleep mode,it will play the windows default.wav when receive incoming call...... :x
anyone know how 2 solve this???

[kodkod]

install pocket tweak (a sort of Tweak UI) with it u can restore the original file associations and do many other things..

Hello!

You can also use some Registry Editor (google for "PHM Registry Editor") and change this in your registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Rin g\Directory

Change that value to \Storage Card\

(can be different with other languages, mine was \Speicherkarte\")

That works for me...

greets

I had the same problem once. If you associate .mp3 files with any other program, Rintone function will not work to allow mp3 files. For instance I had NoteM installed and made it as the default mp3 player. Lucky NoteM has an option to disable it as the default player for mp3s. As soon as I did that I could make my mp3 ringtones work. So long as you put them in /windows/rings folder you should be fine.

Use registry editor and edit some values in your Magician:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3\Default - set it to "MP3File" (without quotes)

For other suitable for ringtones file types:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mid\Default - set it to "midfile" (without quotes)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wma\Default - set it to "WMAFile" (without quotes)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wav\Default - set it to "wavFile" (without quotes)
etc.

And also place ringtone files to \\My Device\Windows\Rings

It works for me.

By the way, what do you use as ringtone?

I use the Aggie War Hymn atm.
