Hi ali-bb,
of course you can
Just copy your mp3 file into folder \windows\rings and you can choose it as ring tone.
BTW, normally music mp3s are very long and stereo, which wastes your storage space. So the best is to shorten your mp3 on your PC with a program like Audacity (freeware, but there are many other programs for this too) and save it as mono mp3.

MP3's as ringtones
There's an even easier way to get an MP3 ring / SMS tone using the Kaiser.
Open the MP3 in HTC Audio Manager or load it using the 'Library' selection.
Select 'Menu', 'Set as Ring tone' ... this will take you into the next menu.
Select 'Trim' and mark in and out the length of your ring tone.
Select 'OK' and then save to Ringtone folder.
'Start', 'Settings', 'Personal', Sounds and Notifications' will be where you want to set up the appropriate tones.
If you don't have 'HTC Audio Manager', you'll find the cab on the forum.
Enjoy
as far as sms alerts, with original rom you'd have to convert it to wav and put it in the windows folder.
i've seen cooked roms handle whole mp3 songs for sms/mms alerts
Even easier way:
On WM 6.5 click and hold the mp3 file in File Explorer, then select set as ringtone from the menu.
Works for me. No need to shorten file.
htc mp3 trimmer works awesome you can choose how long u want the ringtone to be, save it as default or have it saved to ringtones folder, it will show up in your list of ringtones,

or if your like me and only use custom ringtones you can go here and upload and create your own ringtones for free, no ads or hastle,

hope this has been some help

i dont think you can eliminate it from audio library but i think any music file you put into the "sounds" folder in app data will show in your ringtone list, or rename it to RT- infront of the mp3 title and put into your ringtones folder in "my documents"
thats what happens with mine, hope this helps
go to
htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-hd2/help/audio-and-ringtones
As stated above, when I had my T-mo mda, in order to get audio to work for sms, had to convert it to .wav easy enough to do tho.

When I go to the settings to change the incoming text message notification there's a list of sounds to choose from (like "alert1" "alertglass" stuff like that). I tried looking through the file explorer but couldn't find this folder, I was wondering if anyone knows where it is so I can put some of my own sounds in there to use as notifications? Thanks.
all the files are in \Windows. they are system files so you will need to tell explorer to show all files so you can see them. if you want to add more sounds just drop the file into \Windows.
they have to be wav format too don't believe mp3 works
i have been able to use wma and wav file for notification.
p.s. put ringtones in \My Documents\My Ringtones\
I managed to use my own sounds in the events and messages alerts, loading them in Application Data\Sounds
Hey all,
I have had an Xperia for about 6 months now and one thing that i have been unable to do is set a custom text tone. For some reason it will only let me select from the default tones. I would be grateful if somebody could guide me to a way round this so i can set my own text tone.
Cheers in advance for any help offered.

Where is your mp3 song? it must be in the root directory of the SD Card or inside Xperia "My documents" folder.
Then you should be able to select it on settings --> personal --> phone
ive wanted a custom text tone aswel but without luck as yet
try out with wav files rather then mp3 ones
not sure if it support mp3 for old basic pda functions such
as notifications it may only be for ring tones it support mp3

No, it does support mp3 for notifications. I currently have an mp3 for new sms.
it does support mp3 tones.
For text tones you have to put it into the Windows directory folder.
For call tones you have to put it into the My Documents>My ringtones folder.
where is the windows folder you have to put it into? sorry im new to all this
open your file explorer.. go up until u are at My Device. there you can see windows folder, open it and paste the mp3s or audio file(s) that you want them to appear in the text tone setting..
lol cheers that was well easy
Hey there u all.
I have the following problem ,how can i put an imported ringtone in the incomming sms alerts .
I have got them on the , sd card but can't get them attachet to sms.
Yo need to create the following Directory on the SD card...
Media\audio\Notifications
Then copy your tone into that DIR and it will appear as an option within the notifications options
Note: it will also appear in your music player, to avoid this, you need root access and root explorer or similar, then copy your tone to...
System\media\audio\notifications
play the music file in Music Player then Menu Key -> Set As
or Install Handcent SMS, then you'll notice that when you go to Sound and Display settings -> Voice Call/Video Call/Notification Ring tone there will be a "Select Music" option, you can then browse for music files in your system..
So how do I set up custom ring tones on this phone? I see where I can pick the ring tone, but is it possible to have one of my own songs/sound clips, a ring tone?
For default ringtone:
On the home screen press menu>settings>sounds & display> voice call ringtone then pick your tone
For Option 1 for individual ringtones ( only works with contacts saved to phone i think)
go to contacts> pick your contact you want to change> long press until you get a menu> click edit and scroll until you see the ringtone setting
Option 2 (this is what i use because i use google and facebook contacts so i do not get a ringtone option under the edit menu for contacts)
Download ringdroid from the market (it's free). This will let you make custom ringtones from the music you saved on your phone. The music has to be under a certain file size but just play around with it (i use about 15 to 20 sec for a ringtone) Once you save the part of the song you want to play as a ringtone it will ask if you want to assign to a contact and go from there. Once you start making the ringtone i noticed they started showing up under the menu where the default ringtones are. (i'm assuming cause of the file sizes).
For txt message ringtone
click messaging>menu button>settings> and at the bottom of the menu you can pick a default message tone
For notifaction like email or other stuff
from the home screen click menu> settings>sounds and display> and notification ringtone.
hope this helps. i'm new to but i'm pretty sure i got everything right
Ringdroid is the best option. It lists all available music on your device and then you can select one to create a custom ringtone.

Stock ringtones are stored in /system/media/audio/ringtones/
User created ones are stored in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/
you can place your own .mp3's in the latter and when selected, the first 30seconds of the .mp3 will play for your ringtone.
other apps
you can also you zedge from the market, you can download ring tones and wallpapers... i use it some and it seems alright and "mp3 music download" you can use to search for music, seems illegal but i guess they haven't taking it down yet..and mabilo seems good to ...hopefully these are legit since i was using them some lol
