Guest robr43 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hello, Does anyone know how to select mp3's or wav's stored on your SD card to use as a ringtone rather than copying them to the rings directory on the phone? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, just find the mp3 using file manager, tap and hold for the shortcut menu and "set as ringtone" should be the final option. This automatically assigns the ringtone and copies the mp3 to the rings directory. The only bad thing is that you still have to go to the windows rings folder to tidy old ringtones if you find your phone memory getting used up quickly.

Can ring tones be used directly from the sd card and not use the ring directory at all to save using the phones memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its seems I've f*cked up because I've only recently started using .wmas instead of .mp3s. I cant set .mp3s as ringtones either. :?: Dont think you be able to get around using the windows rings directory, setting files as ringtones seems to automatically copy these to this directory for use.

Cheers <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is a registry setting that you can change to allow ringtones from the SD card instead on \Windows\Rings HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory Change this value to \Storage Card\ or add a subdirectory if you like. Dont forget the leading and trailing backslash. Or you can use PPCProfilesPro to do it. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NikLP Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 To use MP3s as ringtones you will need to install this utility most likely. If you are using the context menu (hold stylus on item) and the option 'set as ringtone' does not appear, install this and it will work.EnglishMP3SetRingtone.CAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Palindrome Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Try converting your MP3 into a WMA and doing "set as ringtone" in file manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
