Long delay before playing WAV ringtone

[Guest dragonaut]

is this a bug of wm2003? is there a registry setting or something I can do to avoid it?

thanks :)

[Guest dragonaut]

does this happen with wma files too?

Where are you storing your ringtones?

Is it in Storage\Application data\Sounds

yep..

but I guess it's something about wav's...I downloaded the windows media encoder and wma's play almost inmediately, and wav's take like 7 seconds to load

WAVs are huge and uncompressed, that's why.

.. and depending on their size this time to lod may b bigger ,i suggest u use .wma as ringtones as compresion is good and so is quality ...

Yep,

I agree with that, use WMA, get a small conversion program like Jet Audio, you can load all your WAV files into it on the PC and let it run, plus you can make them smaller during the convert.

:oops: I've screwed up again, my MPx only uses WAV files for ringtones, you need the full version of Jet to trim them down to about a meg, 8 seconds approx. of play, just had to check it.
