Guest odt Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hi Guys, I have been trying all morning to create a wav file that will play as a message tone on my C550 but have had no joy. I am using Nero Wave Editior and cutting a clip from an episode of futurama thats about 4 seconds long. I have tried converting the format to mono, played with the other setting but it just will not play. The files seem to play ok if set as something like an email notification on MS outlook 2003 but come up as unsupported as a Skype notification (although skype too plays .wav) anybody have any suggestions? thanks in advance ODTBend_Suicide.wav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pd.ryder Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 That bitrate looks VERY high to me. Any .wav files I've created with Nero Wave Editor have been more like 176kbps, 8 bit, 1 mono channel and at 22kHz in PCM format. See here for an example:- bleepincoming.wav I hope that helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest odt Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 cheers Stu, i'd already found that one and have tried using the same setup but it still didn't work. So...i opened the wav in Goldwave and re-saved it down (exactly the same) and it worked fine. apparently its something to do with the 'PCM' type that nero uses......... thx again K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I've also had problems, I know where to save the files to, but my C550 only seems to allow me to set custom sounds for ring tone and nothing else. Any tips? Sorry for any repetition :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pd.ryder Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) @HouLeng - you should be able to use .wav files for ANY sound on the phone, but you can only use wma's & mp3's as ringtones, not SMS, email etc. :) (EDIT - try this thread as well :D ) Edited February 21, 2006 by pd.ryder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the other link, much appreciated! I used to customise my old Nokia 6230 as much as I could, looking forward to learning more about smartphone customising. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
