To use as a ringtone for your phone they need to be in the ringtone folder. To use as an alert sound, ie; text, email, etc they need to go into the sound folder.

welcome both drew's...

drew93 is this something new for the Q9 ? on the Q1 all sounds go in the same directory.

its for the cingular 9h. i read that you have to delete the file size limitation or something. i am trying to do so but cannot figure out how to work this registry editor. can someone tell me how i would go about running the registry editor? thanks

The Q9h has two seperate folders. I had problems using my ringtones as alert sounds until I realized that. I have 147 ringtones that I installed. They are WAV, WMA, and MP3 formats. The only one that doesn't show up is a WAV file 438kb. All the rest of the files are under 200kb. I did see a post on how to change the size limitation if that is your problem.

Also, I made all my ringtones on a free site, phonezoo.com. In doing so I do not have to change the registry, as they were all under 200kb.
