New User, Alert Sound Help by Cloud14 on 06-28-2007 at 04:16 AM
Hi, I just downloaded Live Plus and it's working fine but I'm abit confused with adding new sounds to when one of my contacts comes online.
Ok the idea I had would be to have a song play when my girlfriend comes online, so it would wake me up. She's in America at the moment and it's hard to get time to talk to her.
So I go to Event Notifications select the contact and then try to add a song or sound and this is where I get stuck.
None of my WMA files are coming up or anything in my iTunes library. Am I being really retarded or something?
Anyway sorry if this has been asked alot, I did search and didn't find anything and I read the FAQ.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS, Oh I'm on Windows Vista and I have the newest Messenger if that helps.

Ah right and my iTunes songs are MP4's I think, I'm stumped. Is there any way to convert WMA to just simple MP3's?

just do a quick search on google ("converting WMA to mp3"), loads will come up. not sure if any of them, will be any good
