Why can't 6600, 7650, 3650 play mp3 as ringtones? Is it a hardware limitation? I guess N-gage can play mp3 tones though don't know the loudness via-a-vis wav files. Also have heard that mp3 tones are played after a delay. Can anyone give some feedback?

No its a software limitation the base software wont play MP3... you can convert the file to WAV and it should work fine.
unplugged,
can you actually set a wav file as ring tone? I tried it, it will play as preview but when a real call comes through, it ends up playing the next midi file in my list. I'd really like to try having a wav file to be my ring tone. Can you help? Thanks.
You need to put the wav file inside the digital folder
Raima,
That was an easy solution. Thanks a million. 😛
Happy Holidays, Cheers....

But the N-gage & N7650/N3650 have the same software ie. Symbian 6,1
That is the Operating System.The mp3 player feature is not a part of the OS,its just an addon.You can install an mp3 player on any Symbian smartphone but the only stereo smartphone from Nokia is the n-gage.There is no third part application that allows a user to set an mp3 file as ringtone.
Thanx for your evaluation, Ghostdog. Does it mean that there is some mp3 hardware decoder/chip which is there in the N-gage and not on other symbian phones except UIQ phones? Also wondered why mp3 playing apps don't have equalisers like 3300? I have read posts like- mp3 playback of ringtones will use a lot of processor power- but i think that's babble since third party apps work for mp3 playback. please an introspection will be helpfull.......😊
The N-Gage Music Player (that plays MP3's) has an equalizer function.
machtoners,the 7650/3650/6600 are very capable of having mp3 files as ringtones.It was just Nokia's choice to leave that feature out - Bluetooth audio or MMC in the 7650.
do you know where i can get cool mp3 ringtones for a motorola phone?
how do you convert them to wav?
and, is it bigger or smaller than the mp3?
You can get free mp3 ringtones at http://www.mp3-ringtones.net
Guys.. its all going round and round
This matter is very simple
6600 cannot have mp3 as a ringtone
Next... WAV file is bigger than MP3 since it contains more waves of higher and lower frequencies, which the human ear cannot get.. Thats why mp3s are smaller in size. Because these higher and lower sound waves are removed..
As far convertion is concerned.. There are many programs which give the ability of choosing hz and bit rate, mono/stereo etc... Most common ones: Sony Sound Forge, Cool Edit etc..
The OS on 6600 is Symbian 7.0s, not 6.1...
mp3's can't be set as ringtones, but ogg's can be, after installing (free) oggvorbis controller; this only works with the oldest firmware though (3.42.sumthin.). sadly vibration doesn't work when using ogg's but otherwise it's a good way to get nice ringtones.
the question remains: if ogg support can be achieved this easily, whats the holdup on mp3?

my 6620 is 3 days old.. 10 minutes after i bought it i plugged hooked it up to my pc via usb. and moved a couple mp3 clips to my phone.. then starting using them as ringtones. when browsing the profile ringtone area it even shows it's fully file name extension. being (filename).mp3
Just a small reminder: 6600 is not the same as 6620
Greetings
As a PC person used to moving media around on SD cards, could someone (onlist or offlist via email.... symbian<at>fbr.nildram.co.uk ) describe the process of moving a WAV file from a PC to the Nokia 6600 via SD card? :con?
I can copy to whatever directory by whatever means, but Nokia appear to favour getting ringtones by paying ����s rather than copying media off SD cards so instructions are lacking 😡
Any limitiations on file size or format? I would like the tone to be in the phone not on the card
Sorry if this has been addressed in the archives, in that case a pointer towards the URL would be much appreciated :icon14:
