MP3 as Email Alert and other Notifications

[Mesmeric]

Yo all,

This may have been posted before but i can't find where! Please point me in the right direction if it has!

Anyhow, is there any way of setting custom MP3's or WAV's as a notification such as New Email, and New MMS.

I have heard of Ringo but i believe that only caters for standard ringtone and sms alerts (please correct me if i'm wrong)

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Peace!

It has been but I am too lazy to find it, u can create a wav file an put it in the windows folder(pretty sure), then u can select it from the drop down list.

Ringo.....more so if you were a palm user is that useful

in WM5 you can only use MP3 files as ringtones and not SMS/MMS/Email alerts. You (however) can use .wav files as alerts. Convert your alerts into .wav files (leave your ringtones as MP3s) and copy them all into the windows folder on the device.

The alerts and tones will be available now in the "start>settings>sounds & notifications" menu.

In WM6 you can use MP3s as both alerts and ringtones.

I myself was surprised by the lack of MP3 alerts in WM5.

Yo,

Cheers for the info, however i did think about the copying a wav to the windows directory but it does not appear in the list.

Also i am using WM6 (Latest LVSW ROM 26/03/2007) but i cannot see where i can set the mp3's as alerts.

mmmmmm a little confused now lol

Don't worry about the WAV thing in windows directory, i have that working now (i was being daft!)

Also I tried copying over an mp3 sound and its now available in the drop down list too (me being daft springs to mind again)

Thanks for your help peeps and sorry if i wasted your time.

Peace!

Firstly, when you copy the files to Windows do this via activesync (hidden files and folders must be shown in windows on the pc). Next when you set the various alerts you select what event (ie Unread text message) and then select the alert options. An easy program to set several profiles is phonealarm.

i used ease audio converter to shrink the file and convert the mp3 to wav. works fine for me...

Just for clarification; On an WM6 I can still place the MP3 file I want to use for an sms alert in the Windows Folder? You mentioned that on WM5 you can place the wav files into the windows folder and it will work, is it the same for WM6 with an mp3 file?
