Adding Custom Alarm Tones to Windows Mobile

After a bit of reasearch I found this information on adding custom alarm sounds:

1. WAV file format

2. Created with filter PCM, any Hz and/or bit rate, mono or stereo (filter MPEG-layer 3 didn't work). I used VLC and did a 26 second clip at 64 kb/s to get under the file size limit

3. There seems te be no limit in length of time of the sound

4. Filesize limit of approximately 5 mb.

5. Must be put in the Windows folder

** If the file is not valid, when you select it in the drop down, windows will automatically put the tone back to default.
