WMA/WAV for SMS Alert on C500?

[Guest metalgearal]

I've got WMAs working fine for my ringtones, stored in Storage Card/My Documents, but can I do the same for SMS alerts and other alerts? The files don't appear in the list that comes up?

Edit: If it's a WAV, it appears, but it doesn't play properly and I just here a beep when I select it.

ringtones tend to beep if they arent encoded correctly. see the guide on making ringtones in the articles section.

theres a bug which means wma cant be selected as sms in the normal way. I find it easier to use wma for sms tones.

storing them in IPSM/ Application Data/Sounds

Are you saying that once they're there I should be able to select them? As they don't appear still :)

I think Squall meant he uses wavs as SMS-tones, as do I.

Wavs need to be PCM-formatted otherwise you get that beep instead of the recording. Windows Sound Recorder will reformat them for you (in Programs, Accessories, Entertainment on the PC)

Ah that was it, it was formatted as an MP3 but named as a WAV (I didn't make it!).

Sorted, cheers.

Now to make my own Homeskin! :)
