Customize your ringtones with WAV ringtone software.
If you have a track from a CD or music download that you'd like to use as the ringtone for your Palm Treo, make it a WAV ringtone with any of several Palm OS ringtone applications. You can extract clips from songs and assign them to various ringtone functions, such as ringtones for unknown callers, alarms, and text-message alerts. You also can assign a different WAV ringtone for every caller on your contact list, provided you have enough room on your memory card for a large volume of uncompressed WAV audio.
