Applications ( 11 b 11 d) and data files ( 11 a 11 c 11 e) for a communication device ( 10 ) enabling the device to use a segment of a media or multimedia file ( 11 a) (an audio file or one or more components of an audio-video file) stored in the communication device ( 10 ) to alert a user of the communication device ( 10 ) to the occurrence of an event, and to do so in a way that conserves memory. The invention provides an offset selector application ( 11 b) by which a user is able to indicate that a particular segment of the media file ( 11 a) is to be used to signal the occurrence of an event. Instead of storing the segment in the communication device ( 10 ), the offset selector application ( 11 b) typically stores only offsets ( 21 a 21 b) in respect to the media file ( 11 a), and the offsets are used in combination with the media file ( 11 a) to provide the alert notification.
