I know cuz I tried to use one and it didn't work until I changed it to a WAV format. I think I read somewhere that the rings as they come from HTC/sprint are all wavs, but what is referred to as stock/shipped are actually someones cooked roms as they come in RAR format. A truly shipped or stock rom is going to be a .EXE file. My understanding is the the MR ROM is based from culc's kitchen as are a number of the other ROMS, most of which are having the same problem.
I try to ignore... but I can't.
For many people, myself included, wma files work fine for ringtones. I convert all my ringtone files to wma. The WAV format takes up way too much space and provides more fidelity than a listener using the Diamond's speaker will ever be able to differentiate.
I can see all of my file format/extensions by using TotalCommander or RescoExplorer. Just like on your PC, there is a checkbox to indicate that you want to do so.
The new Sprint Shipped ROM is an exe file. If you are using a RARed file, it's probably the Stock ROM which won't help you much (A lot of stuff stripped out of it). The link goes to the download site where you can get the correct file. It will also install the newest radio. I use this one before flashing any of the new ROMs I'm trying out.
