    I used Adobe Audition to save mp3 or what have you to AIF and then changed the extension to CAF as above.

    Default More help on system sounds

    If I want to add a sound to an action, where should I place the file to be able to activate it through 'customize.app'?

    I've tried uplading the sound in the directory system/library/audio/UIsounds but I cannot locate it in the iphone..
    any help with this?

    thank you!!

    thank you!!
    To add and change sounds through customize I found that the folder is
    var/root/library/customize/audiofiles/*folder*/*sound.aif

    cheers though!

    I replace the new-mail.caf file with a new one that is one second long, with the same name, converted to aif in iTunes, then renamed to new-mail.caf by me, placed in the right folder - (UISounds) and the sound will not work. I put the original back, and the original works fine. Are there special properties that it needs to have? Is there something else I am missing?

    Sony Sound Forge saves as .aif, and you can convert it as stated above.

    open explorer (or just double click on your "my computer")

    click on "organize"

    click on "folder and search options"

    click on the "view" tab

    uncheck "hide extensions for known file types"

    also click on "show hidden files and folders"

    voila

    If you got some "no sound" problem, try the stuff I posted here, basically it's just to reboot the iphone after you uploaded your new ringtone.
