Thread: Custom alarm sounds

It has to be a WAV file (mp3 won't show up in list)

Put the wav in the windows folder

It will now be in the drop down for choosing alarm sounds 8-)

Sweet thats cool.

I've been looking for a way to do that.

thanks for the tip

Hey all-

First time poster. On the subject of alarm sounds... Is there a limit as to the size of the file that can be recognized?

Thanks in advance.

There shouldn't be. I remember 3 years ago when I had my iMate JAM, I converted a 4 minute mp3 to a wav file. it was about 3MB in size and it worked fine.

Hey vc66, are you having some issues? or just curious? Up to this point I've only used files up to 1mb at most

Yea. I converted a song from .mp3 to .wav, and it made it about 45 MB. The phone listed the file with the other .wav sounds, but when I try to click on it to choose it, it goes to the default alarm sound.

it's not workin 4 me :cry:

i've converted my song into wav, then cut/pasted it into windows folder (which has like, alarm 2 n 5 etc) n reset my fone... but it aint showin nowhere ! jus the default 2 alarmz, n random soundz like camera shutter n such

ME 2 :shock: goin nuts soon lol i soft reset it lets c wut happens

Hi

After some testing I found the following 'system requirements' for a WAV-file you want to set as custom alarm (by putting in the Windows folder):

1. WAV-format (of course)

2. Created without compression (this means with filter/codec PCM, not mp3 (MPEG-layer 3) or alike), any Hz and/or bit rate, mono or stereo

3. There seems te be no limit in length of time of the sound

4. Filesize limit of approximately 5 mb.



Hope this helps others as it did for me.
