Ring Tone Problem
Here’s the deal: I’m new to all this ring tone stuff (less than 24 hours). I downloaded the wav file of the phone ringing sound from the TV show “24.” The wav file is a ring ending with 1.5 seconds of silence.
Not knowing just what to do I figured I should just loop the file, so I did. Using Wavepad, I looped it several times, creating a 28 second wav file. Converted the new file into an MP3 file. I then changed the extension of the file to mid from mp3. Emailed it to my phone and was able to play it on my phone and use it as a ring tone.
PROBLEM is that the ring tone won’t stop playing. If you go into the settings and attempt to change the ring tone from one ring tone to the new “24” ring tone, it will play the entire 28 seconds e...

If you go into the settings and attempt to change the ring tone from one ring tone to the new “24” ring tone, it will play the entire 28 seconds even if you leave settings and go back to the home screen and or close the phone. Should I have used another “loop” method?
Thanks for your help guys.
Don't loop it yourself like that. Whne your phone rings and plays a ringtone it will loop it automatically.

At first I just sent it without looping it and it would only play once even when my phone was receiving an incoming call.
What I would like to know is whether or not the phone is not looping on its own because it's a mid file rather than an mp3 file?
If this is the case then I'll go out and get the TF Card.

Why in the heck would you rename it from .mp3 to .mid? You can't make it be a MIDI file by renaming it! The phone is perfectly happy to play either MIDI (.mid) or .MP3 files (at least when you copy them from the tf card).

there does seem to be an issue of the phone not recognizing mp3 file extensions. itunes converts edited songs to mp3 then you have to go into the folder the new song is in and change the extension to .mid. i have know idea why. there is step by step in this forum how to do this, very well explained. do a search for ringtones and you'll find it. if i find it again i'll post it.

Here's the scoop -- I posted about it back in December.

That's bogus, Visioneer. My phone plays REAL midi files, no problem.

When I first read your post -- I was upset! After thinking it through I popped a .mid in the phone -- and as advertised it played just fine as both an audio file and a ringtone!! I stand corrected. Apparently the phone does in fact play both mid and mp3 files. Like most of us -- I'm still learning.
The .mid trick is used however to send .mp3 files through Verizons Pix Place.
Sorry for any misinformation.

Sorry, Visioneer! As soon as I hit , I thought, Was that too harsh?
Well I'm glad to see the problem is cleared up!

No offence taken Dave! Like most on the forum I'm trying to part of the solution, and not part of the problem. When I'm wrong I'll always admit it.
Have a good one.

Weird. My phone has no problem whatever -- it will happily play .mp3 or .mid files.
