I want more sounds for my alarms and to personalize under sounds and notifications. There is 4 alarm sounds, activesync, low batt, and not much more. Can somebody please help me! I can't use axim as alarm clock either unless i want to wake up to hard reset sound, your battery's low, or you just synced sounds. A program would help. One that lets me personalize my sounds and notifications. Thanks :)
You can copy a .wav file into the windows folder & it will be available in the drop down for the alarms. The only problem I had was the sound had to be no more than 2 or 3 seconds long or it wouldn't work. When you open the Windows folder you will see 'Alarm 1', 'Alarm 2', etc. then you know you're in the right place.

I just recorded some and dumped them into the windows folder. When I go into Sounds & Notifications, they are there in the drop down.
Edit
GJIsh you beat me to it. I found the same thing with the length of the sound bite
I've used way longer sounds than 2 or 3 seconds on my WM2003SE X50v for alarms. I think there's a link somewhere to the looped and loudness enhanced 12 gauge shotgun sound from the "Evil Dead" series I did with sound recorder on my PC.

All i had to do was rename wavs in the windows folder with the corresponding one i wanted to change. for some reason one files in rom, the other ram and i can now change ANY ppc system sound! loke listenin to these xp sounds! :)
What about this time limit issue being discussed? Are any of your new sounds longer than 2 or 3 seconds?
I remeber when one of my friends tried to play a full wav song using the sound player (not WMP), it didn't work. That doesn't really have anything to do with alarms though.
Weather there is a limit or not, I would rather have shorter sounds cause they need to be stored in ram.
It all depends on the frequnency and bitrate though. Why record a simple sound at mp3 levels? For alarms I'm happy with PCM 8000, Hz, Mono (2KB/s).

I think its becuase im using the xp sounds from c:/windows/media on my desktop pc. I moved copyed them from desktop pc to axim. Renamed them so theyed match the sounds already on ppc. (default.wav, lowbatt.wav) It allowed me to change them! When i delete my sounds, the originals come back. They work like that probly cuz they're the same bit rate, frequency, etc as the original pocket pc sounds, because they're both microsoft system sounds. The sounds still worked no matter how short they were. Axim X50 WM2003SE :)
I was wondering if it's possible to change the screen tap sound. I see that you can change the sound for alarms and program features but not for screen taps. Anyone know how to do this?
Find the file called MenuPop.wav and hwandsw.wav and replace them with the files you want. I tried this with WM5 and it gave me an error message that the file was protected but when I copied them to the root directory of the device (I was going to try to copy them within the system) it worked and now uses the files I copied.
