Problem with ringtone

---

I put my .mp3 ringtone at /Windows/Rings and set my ringtone to that MP3.
It should work, right?

:shock: But it always kick back to boring Windows Default !!!

I have to set it back everytime.

Any idea? :roll:

i m not that sure but i guess it can only use WMA or WAV ringtones

Try to transform your .mp3 into .wma (same quality / size)
try to make short ringtones, no more than 20sec.

jarmsk, I got my K-Jam the other day and placed some MP3 files into the rings folder to use as ringtones. Utilising MS Outlook, I have assigned MP3 tones to different people with no difficulty at all. Are you using Outlook or another PIM (such as Pocket Informant).

Sorry that I can not offer any advice on how to get it working on your device but I just wanted to let you know that it is possible and that it does work.

The ringtones that I assigned to each person in my contact, are working correctly.

The only problem is the ringtone that I assigned as the default ringtone.
I tried change convert from mp3 to wma but it always kick back to the original default ringtone.

I didn't use any other PIM just the one from the factory.

Any idea guys?

You got eg. pocket music installed?
Some programs is associate the MP3 as their default.
That can be the problem, just try to uncheck Mp3 in that kind of software..

notem screwed my mp3 ringtones up. uninstalled it but still windows default so converted them to wma and work fine now. had to reassign tone for each contact again.

is there a registry hack to revert things back?

mp3 ringtones for wizard

---

You can use it, no problem, I've tried my old magician mp3.cab file, it is working with wizard. Find it here, somewhere on magician forum.

Yes but why do we have to store our files in the Rings folder??

Any way to use the SD card? I have fifty or so ringtones, they take too much space if I place them all in the Rings Folder.

If you use the original explorer you can assign mp3 as your ringtone

just browse with the original explorer on your wizard to the mp3 file ...anywhere it doesnt mather

tap and hold on on the mp3 file.....in the drop down menu there is a selection for "set as ringtone"...when you select this, the file will be copied to the rings folder in windows. it also works for me by just copying them to the rings folder

that's exactly a problem. in my case i have gsplayer associated with mp3 files so mp3's as ringtones never work (only windows default ringtone). :( when i uncheck mp3 association in gsplayer, mp3 ringtones are working fine... now i'm converting ringtones into wma format as a workaround of this problem.
