This is driving me mad! For the life of me my Kaiser won't let me change the phone's ringtone from the standard. When I open an MP3 in audiomanager then choose set as ringtone, I get the error message "there was an error copying the ring tone to \my documents\ my ringtones. The ringtone could not be set. Please verify you have enough room on your device and try again", i've even tried manually copying mp3's to the \my ringtones directory, I can view them but they don't play in the ringtone selection screen (they play OK in audiomanager), even if I select a different mp3 in the sounds and notifications screen and select OK, my kaiser defaults automatically back to the standard ringtone. Oh, there's loads of space free as well - about 47mb.
Any ideas?
mp3 extension
Did you change the program for the .mp3 extension?
I noticed the same behaviour when I assigned the mp3 extensions to MortPlayer:
my ringtone would revert back to the default and choosing the mp3 ringtone wouldn't work.
After unchecking the mp3 extension within MortPlayer, I could choose a mp3 ringtone again.
Thanks a lot dude - will give this a go.

I recently moved the registry path for the ringtones to the storage card and then back to the Windows directory. Now in the sound settings it will recognize the mp3 files but not play them or allow them to be the final selection. I have tried changing the ringtone registry to different locations and in sound setting it will not play or allow selection of any mp3 in any folder. WMA's will still play and are selectable. Any ideas? I really don't want to change the mp3 every time I want a different ringer.
I tried searching and did not see a similar topic, so I am posting this new one.
I have tried to move a ringtone to \windows\rings
I have tried to adapt the registry setting to change the ring directory to a different place
I have confirmed that I am using the Ring option for the Ring Type, as opposed to Vibrate or any of the other settings under the settings-->phone menu--I do see the ring tone options and have tried the windows ones as well
Any other suggestions I can try to enable ringing?
i put my ring tones in ram disk.(wave files)
Thank you for your reply. I tried to switch my ringtone folder to Storage Card and RamDisk--though the ringtones appeared as options, they would not play when the phone rang.
Are there other things I can try?

what media type is your ringtone? wav, mp3, wma? all of these types can be used when located in \windows, \windows\rings, \Ramdisk root & \Storage Card root.
may i suggest trying out one of the default PPC ringtones if it plays when moved into any of the directories above.

I tried moving copies of the files into the folders you mentioned--it showed the duplicates as options for the ringtones, but unfortunately did not work. I used the oldphone.wav. Any other ideas?
opps
thought you whould have change the name a little
like putting a 1 in front of the tone name.
I just ended up reinstalling the ROM. Not sure what the cause was... as I uninstalled everything I added... Oh well... all is good now...
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.
I can't assign mp3's as ringtones anymore for some reason.
They used to work, but now Windows doesn't allow me to even select them from the list of all available ringtones (they are listed, but when selecting them and pressing "ok", Windows automatically selects the next song from the list, which is in mwa format)
When I convert my mp3's to mwa, they can be played.
No one having the same kind of problems?
I can't set mp3's as ringtones or sms-sound. But I can play those same mp3's with AudioManager, with Mediaplayer, TCPMP and with Gsplayer.
Wav and mwa files can still be used (lucky me)
Is there perhaps a default player or some setting in the register that points to a default player that needs adjustment?
Had same problem before
I also experienced this problem before. I found out that in order for mp3's to work as ringtones, they had to be associated with windows media player. To fix this, go to GSPlayer, TCPMP, and any other media player you have, go to their respective settings, and uncheck Mp3 as a file association. Your mp3 ringtone should work now.
I have my mp3s associated with tcpmp and can assign them as a ringtone just fine. Not sure how you are assigning them, but this is how I do it.
Open file explorer, browse to mp3s, click-hold the mp3 I want as ringtone, choose "set as ringtone" from the context menu.

Ahh, thanks a lot. That seems to be it!
At least I was thinking in the good direction with that default player

This is exactly what I did when I had the same problem. Those file associations will cause you some problems.

If it works just fine with you with TCPMP, then the problem must lie with Gsplayer, since that was my default player for mp3's.
Fixing Ringtones
I had this problem and worked out how to fix it.
Look at the following Reg Key (change midifile to mp3file for mp3 issues)
Delete any EventSoundHandlers already in place and add this Key.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\midifile\Shellex\EventSoundHandlers\{245F94CF-DD9C-46F9-B4C8-D2B14A877893}]
@="XME EventSound Player"
Problem fixed.

I tried to set a ringtone for the galaxy s10+.
Every time i try to change the ringtone, it tells me it cant set that file as ringtone. I tried ogg, m4a and mp3. They play fine with the media player on android, and also on pc.

I don't know how you set it as a ringtone, but what I always do is:
Connect my phone to the PC
Open file explorer and navigate to my Phone
Dig into the folder and find the folder named "Ringtones"
Then I just drag and drop or you can copy/paste the mp3 file of your choice there
After that, you go to your phone's sound settings and look for the file name of your mp3 file
I open up Samsung music, start the song in full page, and tap the 3 dots top right. Set As in the dropdown let's you choose Phone ringtone, Caller ringtone or Alarm tone.
