WAV problem?

[Guest NikLP]

Hey...

Have a problem getting WAV ringtones to work, very annoying.

I made a loop in CoolEdit 2000 from an mp3

I exported it as a WAV (tried both PCM and ADPCM)

Have directory IPSMApplication DataSounds

Have 'ringtone.wav' in this directory

Ringtone appears on the Sounds menu

Phone plays stupid beep instead after I allocate this tone

Have also tried tweaking registry (a la Midnight's tips) with similar failure

Argh

Help, please :)

Is there an export setting I'm getting wrong somewhere in CoolE2k?

I've not seen any bit rates or anything on wav export dialogs.

Regards,

Nik

could try dBpowerAMP conversion.

Unbelievably, I don't have a net connection at home at the moment.

I'm sat in the library in Notts.

I will be back on 56k this week.

Oh joy.

Hence, I'm trying to do it with s/ware that I've got already!! :)

Cool Edit, anyone...? :roll:

Here's what you need to do, once you've got your file open in Cool Edit, click "EDIT", then towards the bottom "Convert Sample Type" then change the rate to either :- 16000Hz 8 Bit Resolution, Mono, OR, 11025Hz 16 Bit Resolution, Mono, then do a "Save as" PCM wave file.

Either of these will work well on your phone.

The first one gives a slightly smaller file size, and keeps a bit more treble in the sound, but also picks up a bit of hiss which can be noticeable in the quiet bits.

Hope this helps :)
