Yes all you have to do is place the Song that you want in the Windows folder..then youll go to "sounds and Notifications"..then Notifications Tab...Change the Event..to "new Text message"..then youll Find the Song on the list..And DONE>!...make sure you dont put the whole song...then youll have to listen to the whole song everytime someone texts you...so use the mp3 trimmer to make it shorter..and BINGO>!

No need to put it in /Windows/ folder... I put the mp3 files in /Storage Card/ folder and the device still able to detect them.

Hello,
When i am trying to set a windows mobile, or any other ring tone that's on my phone defaulted, they aren't there. As in
I click on sound setting, incoming call on the drop down, and then when i click on tone, none of my songs are there..
BUTT
When i click on incoming text message, and search, all the songs are on the drop down!
How can i get my songs to my incoming call instead of text message?!
Thanks, Tiler
Where are the files stored?
what rpm version are you using? Are you trying to set the whole song as a ringtone? I had a similar issue and solved it by using MP3 trimmer to trim down a song to a specific time or section. Then placing that file under 'my ringtones' under 'my documents'...
im storing them under my storage card. then i cut them and put them in the ringtone folder in the phones memory. Just dont understand why the other defaulted songs are not allowed to be a ringtone either.
Are you running an AT&T ROM? They limit the max size of a ringtone to 600k.
I store all of my ringtones in \Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones\ and I never have an issue with them not showing up. However, any files you want to use for alerts need to be in \Windows\.
yeah im just runnin the att rom so it must just eb the file sizes are to large. Just am not understanding the fact i can set the song as my txt tone, but the ringtone i cant. Ill investigate more and try out more variations of where im storing them, file size, etc.
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
second if u wanna use any wav file as a notification for sms and so on

Nope. It works in My Documents as well, even on a card. Try it!
Just a heads up for anyone else new to WP7. You can add custom ringtones to your HD2 WP7 using Chevron Custom Ringtone Manager.
Your phone has to be Chevron unlocked for this to work. Also, your mp3s need to be converted to WMA 48KHz format. This can be done easily with Microsoft Expression Encoder 4.
I've shown here how to convert using this tool:
Once converted, you'll find the WMA file in C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Expression\Expression Encoder\Output. Now run the Chevron Ringtone manager, browse to your WMA file, and click Build Ringtone XAP.
Then install the XAP the same way as you do with any other. I recommend Tom XAP Installer.
For alarms and alerts, there's an two extra steps involved. You must rename your WMA file to Alert-01.WMA (or which ever one you want to replace). Note your original one will be overwritten.
Once you have copied it to your phone, you need to install TouchExplorer. use this to move your Alert-01.WMA file from My Documents/My Ringtones into /Windows.
------------------------------------------------
An alternative is to sync your music with Zune, and then use TouchExplorer to copy one of your MP3s from My Documents/Zune/Content/xxx folder and put it into your My Ringtones folder. This works too
I've tested both methods and they both work great.
If you have any problems with it, just ask and I'll try to help.
Its also possible to copy mp3 files to My ringtones folder, I checked it by copying a random mp3 file from zune folder =)
I wonder if you can add extra alert or alarm files by just using higher numbers instead replacing the files? Didnt try this yet because it takes ages to load the windows folder...
Why the hell did MS use the folder to store all the files without any sub folders =S
Does the mp3 work as a ringtone? I didn't think this worked.
yep using it without a problem =)

It's tricky if you dont know where to look.
Using Touch Epxplorer, browse to My Documents > Zune > Content > 0100
The files will have different filenames. Just find the one you want as a ringtone by playing it (double tapping it). THen rename it and copy it to the My Ringtones folder

Thanks for the fast reply
That is the problem, all the files is numbered with no original names.
Is there a way to go around this ?

Unfortunately not...that's just the way that Zune transfers files when you sync...it does this with all files.

I had this problem too.
You can just delete the ringtone from the ringtone folder using Touchxplorer. (My Documents\My Ringtones)
When using Microsoft Expression Encoder 4, do not select WMA Professional. I did this in error and although the ringtones sounded good on the computer, the phone played them horribly.
Select WMA, then 48kHz.
If you select WMA and 48kHz is not an option, convert to WMA Professional at 48kHz, then import the new file and convert to WMA at 48kHz. Worked like a charm for me!
YES YOU CAN USE MP3 FILES AS RINGTONES BUT IF YOU WANT TO ADD ALERTS OR ALARMS YOU HAVE TO CONVERT THESE TO WMA FILES & RENAME THEM TO Alert-01 or alarm-01 in windows folder.

There's no need for the CAPS. And I also already explained this in the first post.
Anyone know where alerts are found (ie SMS/email alerts) would be good to change these too, I assume it would work using the same method (TouchXplorer)
I did the alternative method of syncing with ZUNE and did exactly what was said on the post and i was able to do it BUT when i set it for my ringtone it does not want to play.? I tried several songs from ZUNE(All i can listen to) and have the same problem. I can hear them before i do the method but after that there is no sound when i select it for my ringtone. I do have everything installed as the post says. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?? Any help please!!!
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.

All you need to do is make sure the file is mp3 or wma less than 1mb and 40 seconds long. right click the file you want to transfer go to proerties then click details go to genre and type Ringtone click ok then transfer to your phone via zune and it will be in your ringtones under custom.
Seems a lot to do but it is easy good luck and give it a try.

Zune was being really picky about what it would add for me. I had a mp3, Titled GalvanizeRing set to 38sec and it wouldnt add it until I changed the name, seemed to be clashing with Galvanize (chemical brothers song). It would say it synced it, but it would not show up in custom. Anyway once I renamed it it synced and showed up.

You can used zune to sync songs you like,but you need edited it before sync to you windows phone, open the zune, choese the collection--music,find out the song you want it used as a ringtone, right click, choese edit, at the gener, input ringtone, ok, then sync to you windows phone, good luck to you!
I used Zune to transfer some MP3s as ringtones and they worked a treat. I also used Touch Xplorer to change a synced filename to Alert-xx and copy to windows directory so I could have some custom alert tones.
They learned something thank you
