you could try using the Alarm Clock Lite ..
try adding mp3 into the music files under program files within the phone storage, not internal and look it up.
None of these things work..... i tried almost to copy the song in every music-sound folder but nothing happens. Anyone else any solution?
I heard that .wav works..
Ill try wav too and see what happens.
Wav doesnt work either. Anyone else any sugestions?

My BA plays MP3s like charm as ringtone becasue of WMP 10. However, since I hate WMP 10, I installed other SW like "WithMP3 v.160"...and here comes the problem. WithMP3 installes its self as the default player for MP3s, which disabled MP3s as ringtones. Is there any solution to stop WithMP3 from bieng the default player? I tried to change the defult player by assigning the extenstion *.mp3 to open with WMP 10, but no luck.

Apparently it's a big issue. I hope that one of the pros will read the post and give me a solution,
have you looked in the registry ? There's probably some key that you can alter or delete, just experiment a bit.

Thank U pleun for replying. Actually, this is what I did when I found out the problem. I edit the registry to let WMP 10 the defualt player form MP3. The result was MP3s are played by WMP 10 but no MP3 rington. PS: After doing this... the icon associated with MP3 file was not WMP 10. It was smothing generic. Again thank U for participation.
i had d same problem as u n i have no idea what the solution is except removing the other mp3 player...
Problem solved...
hi
can u upload it again? doesn`t work...
why would you need that? the problem's been solved long since. What rom are you using?
1. if you are still running wm2003se, that patch would certainly help you.
this will help you: http://classic.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=16569
there you can download the fx for xda mini, but that should also work for blueangel, if not, please report here.
2. If you are running anything but wm2003se, you shouldn't have any problem using mp3 as ringtones, but if that is the case report it in the thread of that particular rom.
Hello everyone,
audio manager searches the whole phone for mp3s. since i have quite a few mp3 ringtones it is very annoying when htc audio manager thinks the mp3 ringtones are music files too.
is there any way that i can make htc audio manager only search a specific folder on my wings for music? this way i wouldnt have to remove the entries everytime or i wouldnt have to make new playlists every time...
thanks
no solution right????????
Sure...
Place your ringtones in the path noted in the registry value:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager\ring_tone_path
Default value: \My Documents\My Ringtones\
Done.
Now help with my _setup.xml
this solution doesnt work because the sound files from the windows operating system are still included in the default playlist of the player. so for example im listening to music, then suddenly i hear the "battery empty" sound and it scares the **** out of me because i think my phone ran outta battery AGAIN
that's interesting. those sounds don't show up in my library.
That is very weird, I dont have those sounds either, could you have changed something somewhere that import's every music file on the phone & card?
Guys I have a about 1 GB of music on my memory card and guess what the HTC Audio manager does not play music anymore. It shows me all the tracks I can scroll through the list but as soon as I press the button to play it pauses and then reboots the phone.
Howevr, I can play the same music via the windows music player. So there is nothing wrong with the memeory of the music tracks.
Any suggestions
Call HTC Tech support, reset the phone to default settings. Sounds like something is causing an error and then a reboot. Or something infected the phone and now its sick. I would reset the phone first then call HTC and see if they can help. Plausable they shipped it out with a bug...
I think the newer versions of the HTC audio manager uses a different registry entry device_scan_path and device_scan_path_path0
just enter where your music files are located under these entries and put the ringtones somewhere else. this worked for me.
I too am look to solve this problem... I had downloaded a bunch of extra sounds for my verious notifications. currently I have them stared on my sd card \Storage Card\My Documents. My Music is on \Storage Card\Music. When I start up AudioManager it finds the files in both folders. I changed the 2 registry key and put them both the same witch place the songs 2x in the library and I also tried leaving the second entry black. both occasions the files from noth folders were in there.

Have you tried moving your ring tones and such music off the SD card and into the handset location for that type of audio file? Also check in audio manager, I havnt looked recently but I thought you could tell it to check only the SD card? Maybe I am just loopy (wouldnt surprise me)...

I'm not suggesting you move your music, just the files that are not for musical enjoyment, the other misc sounds that get used for ring tones etc off the card. Its been a while since I have been in audio manager and will have to play around with it.

THats what I am talking about also... I dl a zip file with a bunch of sound (not music) too much to move to the device
Hmm I recall Audio Manager having more options, but I am not always with it
If I have the time I can take a peak into the registry but others are more aptly suited for such an adventure.
For now my suggestion (if you have not already done this) is make play lists, I dont know how much you have as music and how much is random audio clips. You can also try going through and removing some of the audio clips you are not using? With playlists at least while the program may list all the music files on the card the ones you dont want to hear wont be in your playlists so you wont have to worry about them quite as much...
I have the same problem. I've modified also the registers but there is no effect.
Thx for help, i had the same problem on HD2
May I know if I can custom made my own alarm sound? If yes, how can I change it to my own mp3? Anyone can help me? Thankyou!
I like to know this to
Convert it to WAV (PCM, Mono) and copy to Root of the \Windows
Thanks, it works
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 =)

How to find songs/mp3 on wp7

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!!!
Hi guys ...
coma from the title, I would set an mp3 file as notification sound, and I've done these steps .....
I put the mp3 files in the system folder media-audio-notification,
restart the phone and when I went in the audio section, notifications, I find the file to me on, but you do not hear ...
What's wrong?
no one knows how to do it?
