Custom Alarms - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I figured out how to do custom ringtones but not how to set custom alarms.
How do I put an mp3 file I have to be an alarm? (all the alarms that come on the phone suck and def do not wake me up in the morning).

You need 3rd party software to use MP3s as ringtones.

Im not trying to do ringtones and I already am using mp3s as ringtones without a 3rd party app. Just put the song in the windows/ring/ folder.
Im trying to set a custom alarm.

Try Chronos, PocketAlarm or alarmToday.
All of these allow you to use an MP3 for an alarm, in addition to a variety of other advanced features.

Anything that doesnt cost money?

My bad, I meant alarms like your post wanted. As for cost, I haven't found anything free myself.

Mort Player
You can use Mort Player as Alarm Tool.
I use it too. You can use Mort Player with mp3 and the best function is,
that mort Player can chance the System Loudness to any Volume that you want.
So you can turn Loudness off when you sleep and MortPlayer will turn it on to wake you up in the morning.
And MortPlayer ist free

anyone else on an alarm program I can use that will allow me to play my own tunes. Or at least a way to put my mp3 file in a specific file so that it will show up on the scroll down list.

Make it a WAV file and put it into your /Windows/ dir.
Then go to your alarm app and click the "bell" and you should see your file.

converted it to a wav file. Came out being huge for one song though(32mb). It came up on the list but every time I clicked on it, it went to default. Whats going on.

I suggest you look a bit around in this thread, you'll find a few free ones in here too

system sound file location?

does anyone know where this is located...i searched the forums and couldn't find anything, then i search my phone using tdcmp still nada. the reason i'm looking for it is i would like to add an mp3 clip to the folder so when i select the alarm i can hear the mp3 instead of the few options listed.
Firstly, all system sound files are located in the Device/Windows directory. Alarms can only be wav files unless you use a 3rd party app like wolfclock (freeware) or something similar.
You can use MP3's as ringtones only as far as I know. You can try dropping an MP3 clip in the Windows directory and let us know if it works.
Hope this helps.

We need a better mp3 player for android

I use my phone as a mp3 player alot but the software that came with android is very limited and does not give you enought options to use our phone as a fully funcional mp3 player. Like for example creating playlist, search songs by name or artist with the keyboard. etc.
I hope some developer is working on a better player...
You can do all of that you mentioned already. To add to a playlist long-press on a song and choose add to playlist and you can make a new one or add to an existing one. To search just slide out the keyboard and type it will return all results for artist, song, album, everything. Hope this helps

thanks you right about everything. I just found something else I have every album in separate folders let say I would like to select just one folder to play that album only, is there any way to do that, because as far as I see the player looks for all the music files in the sd card and display them in the library together.
thanks
I don't think you can organize by folder but maybe try clicking album on the home page of the MP3 app? That will read all the ID3 tags of the MP3's and sort them by album to play. Unfortunately what sucks for me is a lot of my music files are .m4a from my iPhone which the G1 can play but I don't have album art or tags or anything and it blows because you can't add tags to them and I don't have the time to convert them to mp3. Oh well, hope this helps you!
i think we will see a lot more once paid apps come- coreplayer are working on an android version for one.
I just figure another issue, I create a folder with ringtones .mp3s and the player put them on the play list to This is crazy it should at least ask you if u want to add the new audio files to the play list. now I have 10sec ringtones playing on my playlist
I'll pay for a player with all the features that an audio player should have.
What folder are you putting your ringtones in?
I have my ringtones in a folder named 'ringtones', my notifications in a folder called 'notifications' and the media player doesn't pick any of them up.
One thing for sure, Shuffle blows for some odd reason. It's always the same damn order! The only way to get something different is to Shuffle -> Party Shuffle. This needs to be fixed.
Also, it would be nice if they added the fast search (like in contacts, dragging letters on the right) to the song list, as well as speed it up quite a bit.
I'm not impressed with the MP3 player. I'm hoping someone is working on one that is a little bit more iPhonish, as I like the looks/usability of that. S2P for WindowsMobile nailed it.
Is there something wrong with tunewiki? maybe that is more to your liking?
I like the double click headset to change tracks, single click to pause/resume. Although i'm not sure if this functionality would exist with A2DP? It could do with a few more features i'll admit, but it looks fine to me.
Need an Eqaulizer

Samsung Galaxy 4.0 Android MP3 Player.
Samsung calls this an MP3 player, but it is really a great Android phone -- without the phone. The form factor is great for carrying around. I find I'm using it much more than my iPad to access email, listen to podcasts, watch videos, and more. The Gingerbread Android OS is snappy and easy to use. With Skype and Wifi, you get voice/video connectivity.
Samsung Galaxy Player 50
Agreed. The stock app never allows me to view my playlist like the iPod does.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA
Check out MKZIplayer.
Great for video and music
If you use a custom rom you can download "PlayerPro". Best MP3 Player.
(Or try "Apollo", its included in Cyanogenmod from FreeXperia)

How do I change alarm music?

Can someone tell me step by step how can I use different music for alarm wake up because I can't find any setting to do this? Ane how can I change music for incoming calls? All I can change are preloaded musics from SE but I would like to use my own mp3s.
u must convert the mp3s in wav and put them in the right directory. Also you can use galarm where u can use mp3 files
Start > Settings > Sounds and Notifications >> Notifications (For incoming call etc).
(For custom ringtones for individuals, I just drop the mp3 ringtones into a folder called My Ringtones under my documents on the device, for a general one I think it just goes in the Windows directory).
If you know how to set an alarm, how do you not know how to change the alarm notification? Click on the alarm symbol and select the sound fle you want.

[Q] alarm ringtone -- mp3?

is there a way to use mp3 as alarm sound ?? those provided in the list just useless, only a short beep that can't wake me up from bed.
You have to use a .wav file, which must be put in "Windows" folder.
Thanks, that seems teadious and squeezing on my pity little on phone storage. so if i decided to use external programe as alarm, is there a way to disable the windows alarm ??
You don't have to disable the default for using a third party alarm.

Quick question about messaging notification sound

A friend of mine just got her a captivate...hasn't done anything with it really, but she was wondering how to change her messaging notification sound to an mp3 song file...
The only problem is that she has handcent sms downloaded and the song plays for a bit then gets cut off
Any advice?

Copy the mp3 to the media/audio/notifications folder. Just beware if it's a long song it will play forever unless you manually shorten it. Try using Ringdroid or Tape Machine for that.
Ok thanks and cheers!
Get Ringdroid from the market. You transfer songs to your phone, open up Ringdroid, select the song you want and you can trim out the section of the song you want to use, therefore it doesn't play the entire song. And when you are finished, it asks you if you want it to be saved as a ringtone, notification, or an alarm and it will save it to the proper directory.
