Ringtones

[travis]

Help PLEASE, I don't think I'm stupid BUT ..................
Has anyone succeeded in putting their own ringtones onto the Lobster.
I've tried every format - including mid/midi, I've tried every folder - including Windows but they will not show up!
I note that the pre installed ringtone files are ticked as "in Rom" when I check with total commander but I am unable to give my new files the same attribute.
I have used prophet, S/E P900 etc etc and never had a problem.
Am I missing something obvious.
Thanks in anticipation.

Try putting them in the /My Documents folder directly on your phone (not the SD card).
I've got cut down (30 seconds worth) of WAV and MP3 music files as ringtones in this directory with no problems, as well as midi files.

Hope this helps,
Cheers

You need to put the file under Application Data under My Device, then the tunes will be listed when selecting Ring Tones. Not very obvious! Poor design by lobster

what you have to do is make sure they are in wma format, then put them in windows>rings. i did that with mine and it works. mp3s dont work, unfortunately. its pretty bad programming on microsofts account

you should move the files you want to use as ringtones in:
my device\application data\sounds\

it works like a charm every time, and it's cool to hear Pain - Shut Your Mouth.mp3 as the morning alarm :)
and it's good for ringing too, it sounds like an oldschool phone and when
you take out the beast (Lobster) people are like WTF, I like it :D

one messy thing is that windows media player doesn't find it when you try to open file through it, through explorer it opens, but who cares, TCPMP is a loooot better IMHO (if you don't watch wmv's of course :D , but only then )
