Custom ringtones are something that has been somewhat of a mystery to me even though I own a Treo 650. While I hadn't researched how to do it, I figured it couldn't be that hard. Well, a fan of the TV show "The Office" has provided instructions for all of us, using that theme song in the example.
The process is simple...
1) Acquire an mp3 file of the ringtone audio
2) Convert it into a small .wav file. Probably fairly low quality is good to keep the file size small
If you have bluetooth on your computer, then
3) Send it to your Treo using Bluetooth. It will automatically go into your Treo sounds collection.
If you don't have bluetooth, then there are instructions to
3') use Versamail after you copy the file to your sd card.
And if you don't have Bluetooth on your PC or use Versamail on your Treo?
3'') Well, I'm not sure yet. I guess there's a bit more research to be done.
Update: See the rest of this thread. I've added additional information on how to do this using other common programs like Blazer or Resco Explorer!
To enable the ringtone, you simply finish up this way:
4) Select the file in Prefs...Sound & Alerts...Tones
The full instructions are available
here.
But I'd sure love to hear how to make a .wav file on the sd card into a sound that you can choose as a ringtone without resorting to Bluetooth or Versamail. Any Treo experts out there with suggestions?
