Homemade MIDI Ringtones

Have you read this Palm knowledgebase article on ringtones?

I reread it, and this time I took note of this:

Copy it to an SD expansion card: This method is a bit tricker than the others, so don't try it unless you're comfortable with file structures. You'll need a USB SD card reader for your PC. First, download the MIDI file to your desktop computer, and transfer the file to the SD card, making a mental note of its location on the card. Insert the SD card in your Treo smartphone, and launch the Web browser (don't worry, you don't need an active Internet connection to do this, and no kilobytes are taken out of your mobile data plan). In the web address bar, enter the location of the MIDI file in this format:

file:///(folder)/(yourmidifile.mid)

• file:/// - enter this text exactly — including three forward slashes
• (folder) - the folder where you stored the MIDI file
• / - use a forward slash to indicate folder contents
• (yourmidifile.mid) - the filename of the MIDI file

An example address would be file:///MyMIDIfiles/BestRingtoneEver.mid. Once the address is entered, hit Go, and the file will be transferred to the MIDI Ring Tones database.

IT WORKED! Thanks! My new ringtone is working wonderfully!

Glad to hear.

I personally do it via the website method. Much easier.
