I dont know if you can use .wma's for that, you may nee to convert them to .mp3 or .wav,,,,You may try and drop them in the \application data\sounds folder.

I wonder if there's a master table somewhere of where sounds for various things need to go. I know some sounds can be in My Documents, others in Windows, etc. Add to that that you can't use certain formats for certain events and it gets downright confusing.

all i know is if you drop your sound files in the application data/sounds folder
any customization of sounds can be done if they are in that folder. As far as the types of audio file formats you can use, i really dont know the extent of what you can and cant use. Although it seems that .mp3's, .wav's and .wma's work when editing your profiles, other restrictions are true when editing other things, such as startup-shutdown tones (.wav only) as well as other restrictions that i can't think of off the top of my head.

Any links where you can get these sounds from?
I liked the ones in the rose rom but had to flash back to kavanas because of my weak little battery. Ill go back as soon as I can get a 12 volt car battery wired up to it.
