Is there a way to set a MP3 as our voicemail notification sound?
Yes, you can have an mp3 as your notification sound
Find the mp3 you wnt and browse to your SD card. There should be a media folder there. Open the MEdia folder, then Audio, then Notifications
Drop the mp3 there
Unmount the Sd card then check your notifications. You should have that mp3 in there. Select it and yer good to go
You may want to shrink that mp3 into just a snippit of the whole song though. Getting a text message and having a song play would start to piss me off pretty fast since i get a lot of texts.

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.
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.
I added a .nomedia file to my notifications and ringtones folders to prevent them from being played in the shuffle for the music player. Then I noticed that my phone wouldn't ring or alert me for text and email so I removed the .nomedia file. But there is still no sound. I can play the sound when I am changing sound options. I checked to make sure all the system sounds were up and that sounds are set to play but nothing works.
For 1 isn't it dumb that we should have to hide notification folders and audio book folders from the media player. Shouldn't it just play from the music folder?
And 2, how can I fix my phone now so that it rings and alerts for messages?

I have a ringtones folder located at /sdcard/ (so it is on internal storage) and none of my ringtones show in the media player. I have not tried audiobooks yet, but they could at least be put in one playlist, with all other songs in another playlist - then shuffle. you could even put ringtones in a separate playlist from songs if you can't figure out why they are not hidden.
you must reboot your phone so the system can reindex all media files . . .
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.
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.
