Find the sounds you wish to use. They must be in the ".wav" format. If you need to convert them you can use [http://download.cnet.com/Quick-Media-Converter-HD/3000-2194_4-10787822.html quick media converter]. Put them on your device. I put mine in Internal Memory in a folder called "New Sounds". Create another folder in the same directory to back up your old sounds to; you could call it "Old Sounds".

Launch emelFM2 from personal menu, not the normal menu. In one pane navigate to <code>/usr/share/sounds</code>. In the other type <code>/media</code> and navigate to the folder that you made for the old sounds. For me I navigated to <code>/media/mmc2/Old Sounds</code>. From the <code>/usr/share/sounds</code> folder select the sound you want to change then click the copy button at the top of the center column. Copy over all the files that you want to change.

Go back to the basic File Manager. Go to the Old Sounds folder. Click and hold on the old sound until the context menu pops up. Click Edit then rename. From there hit (right) ctrl + c on the keyboard to copy. Click cancel; we'll leave this file here now as a backup in case we want to change it back later. Then go to "New Sounds" click and hold on the file. Select Edit then Rename and click (right) ctrl + v to paste. Repeat this for any other files you have.

Return to emelFM2. Navigate to your "New Sounds" folder. On the other side you should have <code>/usr/share/sounds</code> open. Select the new sound click copy in the center column. A confirmation box should come up, click replace. Repeat for all your other sounds.
