MP3 Ringtone

Hi
I have a QTEK 2020i and I don't find a way to setup a mp3 ringtone.
If in file explorer I found a .wav or .mid I can open the shortcut menu and there is an option "Set as Ringtone". But with a mp3 file such option doesn't appear.
Also on Start/Settings/System/Add Ring Tone, mp3 files are not listed.
I finally tried to copy a mp3 file into \windows\rings directory.
The file appears in Start/Settings/Personal/Phone but doesn't play.
How can I set a mp3 file as a ringtone?
My regards
Ruka

use file explorer and navigate to Windows>Rings and drop ur mp3 into there

Hi
As I wrote on my first post, I've already tried that solution.
If I copy a mp3 file to windows\rings, it will appear as a ringtone (in Phone in Settings), but if I select it, it is rejected (it won't play, and when I press ok it will revert to Windows default ringtone).
I've seen on other posts that other people can setup a mp3 ringtone, but I can't. I wonder if it is some additional software release by some mobile phone company.
My regards
R.

hope this will help you.....

Don't work
Sorry.
Download and install then on the 2020i.
Even tried with a reset.
Nothing changes. Still can't set a mp3 file as a ringtone.
Where did you get these files: they say Helmi Mp3 RingTones.
Is there a site where I can check if there is another version of them?
Thanks anyway

Use a registry editor, then locate:
1) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3 - Default = WMAFile
2) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMAFile\DefaultIcon - Default = wmplayer.exe,-2001
3) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMAFile\Shell\Open\command - Default = wmplayer.exe "%1"

It worked!!!
Actually I only had to change the first registry setting, (.mp3 - Default = WMAPlayer).
The other two settings were already there!!
And it worked!!!
I have PocketMusic installed and the .mp3 default setting pointed to it.
I always wonder why if those equipment could support mp3, why I couldn't set one as a ringtone.
The only thing that is still different (from the .wav or .mid files), although not important at all for me, is that I still don't have the "set as a ringtone" in the shortcut menu when I click on a mp3 file. I guess that via registry that could also be set.
Thank you very much

Done that too!!!
Hi
I search the registry for the string "Set as ringtone"
and found it at
HKCR\wavfile\Shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{E88B4 ... }
with the values:
Default = Set as ringtone
DelayLoad = 1
Then I created the same structure inside HKCR\WMAFile.
Since
HKCR\WMAFile\Shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{E88B4... }
were already there (although witn no contents), I only had to create the values Default (as string) and DelayLoad (as number)
Thank you all again

Is it possible to have Ogg files as ringtones ?

u can set mp4 files as ring tones.
i converted my fav mp3 to mp4 using nero wave editor.
copy the your_music.mp4 to any folder and right click set as ring-tone
it'll tell u that it has copied your music to the windows\rings folder
and thats it :d

i don't even have settings-syste-set as ringtone and i can use my wav music only with sms not with incoming call, help?

this worked great even with TCPMP assigned to mp3... thx!

okay so this broke again... solution was not change .mp3 to wmafile but look down for registry key "wmafile" and there is "shellex" key or something. I've copied that key to "mp3file" key and so it works with whatever association.

How to change ringtone directory + improve?

Hey, guys. I have a storage card with a folder called "Music" on it. There is all my music. How can I set a .mp3 as ring tone without any software? Kaiser has this option, but it always needs to copy the .mp3 file, that I want as ring tone in the main memory in "My Music". I think there's a registry tweak to do this... does somebody know how?
What I want: on the today screen in Sounds to be able to chose a .mp3 from my storage as ring tone without to copy it to the main memory.
I hope you understand me.. sorry for my terrible English.
Thanks.

I think I have seen this option change in SK Tools

Do it using Audio Manager
Audio Manager has this option to use any song as Ringtone.
It even has a function where you can Select the in-out points for the ringtone in a song.

Song As My RingTone

Hi all,i wanna set my song as the ringtone for my Diamond....
anyone know how?do i need a software?
thanks

Music will ring up to 30 sec. Use program on Diamond to extract from music on phone, or copy your own to Ringtones in My Device, then Settings to select your ringtones.

Go to the chosen music by explorer, press until it appears “define like ring tone” and that is all.

got it....thanks....

Where to put sound files in order to use them as alarm clock/ ringtone?

Hi all,
I want to use my own MP3-Files for alarm clock/ ringtone, however, I cannot select the files for these applications.
As far as I can see, there are three music-folders on the device, \MUSIC, \WINDOWS\HTCTone and \WINDOWS\Rings.
Wherever I put my MP3-files, I cannot select them in the browser of the alarm clock/ ringtone app. Are there any additional registry entries needed? Or doesn't the TD2 accept MP3s for these purposes?
Thanks in advance,
Caroline

You can place MP3 files for ringtones into My Documents / My Ringtones and files for sms notification must be in windows folder. I tried to use mp3 files for alarm clock but without avail. I think it must be wav or wma file in windows directory also.
Edit: I've tried it and it must be .wav file.

hi bro, so u put the *.wav file into which folder? thanks.

Hi, .wav file I put into windows folder and it's displayed in Ringtone menu.

On Polaris it's in
Device\Application Data\Sounds\
From there mp3s are working for SMS/MMS notifications... Reminders too...

for ringtone u can put it in storage card, must be at the main page, not inside any folder

set as ringtone my wav. file.

where can i download a app, that set the wav. file as a ringtone or messages alert?? can you give me some links. thanks in advance..

are you dislike mp3 ? )

Use ur laptop to send the .wav file to ur X1 through bluetooth.And then u can see the wav file in the ringtone list

making the wav into mp3 would dec it's size by a factor 11 though

The best software to encode between mp3 and .wav is free CDEx.
I use it all the time in profi usage.
With 320kbps mp3 you get perfect quality without any loss for a ringtone.

well for ring tones I would advise mono and a pretty low Kb/sec as the speaker in most devices don't really do high quality audio much justice

Put it in either the My Documents folder on your device or in Storage Card\My Documents and it'll show up in the ringtone list.
Works for mp3, wma, wav, mid etc

Rings
what tha hell are u guys talking about...lol
first if u want to use MP3 ring tones put them in the windows explorer ----------- windows/rings folder

Nope. It works in My Documents as well, even on a card. Try it!
