It will only work for text messages. It's a different case for incoming call ringtones. The only sound format (that I know of) the SYNC does not discriminate against for incoming calls are MIDIs -- I've tested it and have gotten it to play full 10 minute long MIDI songs.
Of course, no one would want a MIDI for their ringtone. But then again, who would want a 10 minute song for their incoming call ringtone? You'd end up answering and killing the song.
The best possible way to get your incoming call ringtones to work is simply to cut it down to the best 30 seconds [or less] of the song you want and import it to your SYNC.
Hey everyone, I figured out a way to get your SYNC to play whatever you want it to! It's simpler than I thought it would be but it worked out after playing with it.
Anyways all you have to do is convert your sound files to MMF format, which can be done at online sound converters such as http://w7.media-convert.com
You can set the conversion settings to maximum (stereo, highest frequency, 16bit, noise filter on) and not have to worry about the the SYNC complaining about how big the file is or even how long! Why this works I'm not quite sure... but I figured it is probably because of the MMF format which is standard for ringtones you actually BUY and therefore it doesn't discriminate against it!
I hope this helps everyone! The ringtone issue was a headache to me when I ran into it, so I'm trying to save everyone else from that experience!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
