mp3 as ringtone?

[Guest Clavat]

hi, im new here!

i have recently bought a mpx200 and updated it to 2003.

now i have 2 little questions i can't find the awnser on the forum...

1: can i have a mp3 song as ringtone and how?

2: can i set so that when i'm listening to music with media player i can just switch to the next song by pressing the volume buttom (wich usualy opens a "record note"). it would be easy because then i dont have to open my mpx200 everytime i want to change song...

thx!

Welcome to the forum :)

1. No, the MPx200 will only play wavs or MIDIs (format MID0)

2. I've not heard of a method to remap the buttons but you could use a homescreen with OrangeWinger's WMP plugin to get better access to the controls.

hmm, thx! i downloaded the plugin wich is extremely handy.

but now that i have seen that there are homescreen plugins:

in wm2002 there was a possibility to put you homescreen to simple wich only showed your operator and the time (and not how many sms, appointments etc. i have). in wm2003 i can only choose: windows default and now also windows media... now the question is: is there a way to get the simple homescreen on my wm2003?

sorry if its a stupid question or allready asked :)

Just install a simple homescreen :)

Have a look in the Homescreen download section of the site for some ideas.

PS 2003 can also play wma ringtones.

Awarner, are there any specific versions of WMA that it supports? Does it go up to v9?

To bo honest I am not sure as I have not encoded a ringtone for a long time. I normally use

those made by other members that are posted here as I never seem to have the time to

do any encoding myself :?
