i couldnt find any information on how to get notifications and ringtones into the drop-downs.... if you dont know what im talking about, ur an idiot....

Settings--> Personal--> Sounds & Notifications--> Notifications(Tab)

ok, thats for the noobs...

anyways, to get ringtones and notification sounds in there, you need to take whatever sound file you want to use, and run it through River Past Audio Converter. They have a free trial, so get it. Its a really clean piece of software.

Anyways, when you got your file(s) in there, all you have to do is select it to convert as a .WAV file, and specify the Compressor as PCM (<---VERY IMPORTANT!!).

Then you can just bring the file into the phone's \Windows folder. Make sure there is no space before the ".wav" such as "Ring1 .wav" because it will not show up. You can easily bring your files through activesync by hitting Explore, then on the top go to Tools--> Folder Options..--> View, and check off Show Hidden Files and Folders. Now you can navigate to the \Windows folder

Now, if you want it to show up under the "Phone: Incoming call" drop-down you have to have it inside the \Windows\Rings folder. That folder also is good for .mp3 and .m4a files as well.

o yea.... and make the sample rate 8 khz

Here you go, there are so many threads on this already. Just do a search in the forum for 'ring', ringtone', 'wavepad', ECT. Glad you got it working though.

yea but nowhere did i find that it needed to be a PCM compressor... and thats clutch for getting it to work... its good to know for those who want to cut in their own sounds..

nowhere do u really need a PCM compressor, thats why no one mentioned it. I can take a 3-5 minute song and cut a clip about 15-30 seconds and simply FTP it over to the phone and set it for whatever ringer or notification that I decide. It really is as simply as that. There isnt any special CoDecs or "PCM compressor" needed. All of my tones are all done without this. Sorry you had such a difficult time getting it all setup but good that you found out how.
