internal storage\my documents is the right way to do it because after a hard reset you'll still have them there and you don't use precious device memory.

Tank you!
After hard reboot i found the rings from \windows\rings too (not the shortcut).
But the internal storage\my documents is the right way!!!

If you want to put them on your device memory, the correct location is \My Documents\My Ringtones.

This might work for rings, but you will find it untrue for SMS notification.
In which case, "My Documents" root will work.

SMS notifications are put in windows folder inside internal storage

How to make HTC Audio Manager to search only "My Music" Folder?

Hi all,
As obvious from the title, is there any tweaks available to make the HTC Audio Manager to search ONLY the My Music folder in the Storage Card? I have other applications which use lot of voice files, which are not actually music. So, the playlist on the Audio Manager is messed up. At the moment the audio manager searches all voice files in the Storage Card. Any input will be appreciated.
Cheers
i could use this to hide porn
Go with registry editor in HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager\Config\
And edit : "device_scan_path_path" and "device_scan_path_path_0"
Type : "\storage card\my documents\my music" or the path to your music on sd card.

Thanks. But it doesnt work. I tries soft resetting and also renaming the folder with voice files in it. AM was still clever to find the renamed folder on the SD card! Anything else???

Can a similar thing be done with Microsoft Windows Media Player?
It does the same thing as AudioManager when you let it add music on its own - puts every ringtone and system sound in there too - what a mess!
The only way I've found to avoid this is to never click "Update Library" - instead always use Media Plaer 11 on my PC to sync and orgainize songs and playlists.
I don't see similar registry settings in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer . . .

You have to clear the list first.
How do you clear the list?
Double entries

Ditto for me and my Tilt
You get double results because it searches twice the same place. Try different registry settings for each.
For example for device_scan_path_path put \My Documents\My Music and for device_scan_path_path0 put \Storage Card\My Documents\My Music.
This way it'll search both your phone memory and your storage card. Basically so you can have two different places to store music.

Someone tried this?
Not working for me - I've just set the two values to \My Documents\My Music and \Storage Card\My Documents\My Music, removed the card and started Audio Manager to wipe the titles (\My Documents\My Music is empty so it just shows "No titles found" and doesn't show any tracks), did a soft reset (proper power button cycle) and checked the values were still set in the registry, started Audio Manager again for good measure, closed Audio Manager, re-inserted the storage card and started Audio Manager again...
...and it's still pulling in tracks from my ringtones folder and the odd stray podcast hanging around in \Storage Card\program Files\RSS Hub .
this works for me
This works for me
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager\Config\
"device_scan_path_path_0"="\my documents\my music\" or the path to your music on sd card (without \SD Card). must ends with "\"
"device_scan_path_path" leave as is or enter path on you phone memory (must ends with "\")
but be sure that AudioManager doesn't running while editing.

tried that, didnt work either still finds everything
Why is Audio Manager so popular?
I can't play half my music files with it. I can't get it to find my library changing the registry values mentioned. It doesn't play anything over 192kbps. It doesn't even have the option to open a file directly! If it's not in the library then it can't play it.
Maybe I am having teething problems but the only thing I like is that its free but since pocket player can play almost any format and any bitrate and picks up all my files in its playlists I thought for $20 it was worth it.
Is it because I have and older version of Audio Manager? Can't change it without flashing my ROM so don't want to do this at the minute especially if I am going to have all the same problems.
Sorry, saw this discussion too late and did already start one here:

Please, where should we continue?
And how can we solve this problem????????

Well, to approve this really works for you, can you please copy just one mp3-file to root of memory card and soft reset? If the single file is not shown afterwards, then this really works for you. Otherwhise it just scans all the audio-data on your memory... See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462531 I am trying really hard to get the problem solved....

How to add .wav files as ringtone

When I add a .wav file to my windows directory, I can not see it in the phone options to use it as ringtone.
Can anybody tell me how to add this wav as a ringtone?
Thanx RObert
Convert to mp3 or wma.
I just found out that if you put a .wav file in the windows/ring folder, you can select the files.
or, better (in my opinion) into the internal storage/my documents. they are much easier to find/replace (opening windows directory takes a long time and finding something there is a pain in the a..s.). also, this way after a hard reset or flashing a new ROM you will not have to copy them again and as a bonus you'll have more memory in the "device".

Internal drive ringtones

I put my ringtones into my internal drive how come there not showing up when i go to pick a ringtone . I have to take them from my internal drive and then copy/paste them into my windows/sounds folder for them to show up and its taking up to much memory. I thought you could use ringtones from the internal drive
\Internal Storage\My Documents will work for you.
thank you that worked perfect

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.
