Links, links and more links




I hate bookmarks, they are like flies flying around me while im doing something that I have to focus on. So here are my recent bookmarked links for your benefit and so that I can get rid of mine.

If you have a PSP you may want to look at this program that makes your PSP lool like an iphone. You have to turn your PSP vertical and I really don't like it because there is no phone and there never will. Also they could have done it horizontal with more buttons and also its just like a website that opens different application in your PSP.

If you want to download videos from youtube you just go to this website where you can enter the URL address of the video you want to download and then it creates a link where you can download the FLV video file to your computer. Very handy but then you have to look for a way to convert the video to WMV or MOV quicktime etc.

Changing the wav sound for notifications - 8525 pocket pc




Are you trying to set a wav sound notification from a file on your computer and it shows on the drop-down menu on your phone but there's no sound? Well that's funny me too! Once again my buggy 8525 pocket pc wasn't doing something it was meant to do and once again I found myself looking in over a dozen websites for an answer just to get the same lame response over and over to go to "Start Setting Sound and Notifications and select the sound you want to enable from the drop down list" like if I didn't know that already. Well, you've come to the right place, I have the solution but this time I have to give credit to this forum and specifically to this topic where I found the answer I was looking for; not a "dummie-proof" explanation but a very good one, enough to lead me to the solution.

The thing is that if you create a wav sound on your computer or download one from a website the file needs to be recorded or save with some specific settings (that im still not sure if there's another way to change this settings than using a sound recording or music program that of course you have to download from the internet) in order for it to play as a sound notification because without this settings the wav file will play on your windows media player on your device but it wont play as a sound notification, that's why you need to make the changes. To change this seetings I use a program called Wavepad that I used it to cut those annoying intros in some mp3 songs, well this time I found another use for it and of course it was the option to edit the "Sample Rate" settings on the wav file. So if you want to acomplish this unless you are looking for another method you should download the software first. Now, these are the settings in order for the wav file to play as a sound notification:

Sample Rate: 22,050 Hz
Bit-depth: 16 bit
Channels: Mono

After downloading and installing the program you can open the wav file from the program and select "File" and scroll down to "Convert Sample" and "Convert Channels" options to set the channels to "Mono" and the sample rate to 22,050. Now go to "File" and click on "Save File as" and just before saving the file there should be a pop-up window like this one:

where you can set the "Format" and "Attributes"; I understand that this is the same as I did early but with the options to select the "Bit-depth" and the format (im not really sure about the format I selected but I guess it doesn't have too much effect on it, anyways the file I converted shows
PCM), so I guess that if you select the "22,050 kHz, 16 Bit, Mono 43kb/sec" for the attributes and PCM for the format all settings should be right and the sound would play.

The file I converted was the "You Got Mail!" from AOL, I set it after enabling the email notification settings for the 8525 using the text messaging feauture, now everytime I get an e-mail the phone says "You got mail!"... and everybody around me knows that I got an e-mail like if they need to know that.

Good luck.
