I want to set a custom ringtone. I have some mp3's on my Tilt. I followed these instructions from my phone's manual....
Set an MP3 song as your ringtone
1. Copy the MP3 music file to the My Documents folder on your phone.
2. Tap Start > Settings > Phone.
3. In the Ring type list, select the MP3 song as your ringtone.
I did exactly that and the ringtones are not in my Ring type list. I went to File Explorer to make sure the mp3 was there and it is.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
My Ringtones is the correct folder.

OK, any ideas why it's not working?
Have you tried this?....Tap & hold on the song you want as your ringtone, then select Set As Ringtone.

yea, i tried that too. when i did that it said, 'saved as ringtone' but it wasn't in the ringtone list in the phone settings. i have WM 6.1 installed if that helps any. my song is .mp3 format but i heard that .wma, .mp3, .wav. and .midi all work as ringtones. i tried a 30 second song and a 4 minute song and neither worked. does it have to be a certain size?
i figured it out. my mp3 file was 650kb. i cut it down to 378kb and it works. the length is only 16 seconds now which is fine for a ringtone but does 378kb sound right for a 16 second mp3?

Hi,
On my qtek 1020, I had set up a mp3 song as my ringtone, but now I want to change it. When I click on other songs, i do not see the Set as ringtone option. I even deleted the song which was set as the ringone, but it still plays as the ringtone, and on other songs I still dont see a set as ringtone option. Whats the best way to change the ringtone?
Thanks
Go to Start->Settings->Phone to set your ringtone.
The ringtone you set is probably now in windows\rings
Hi,
Thanks for that. I was able to delete that ringtone by going to windows/rings but I still dont see "set as ringtone" options for other Mp3's that I have got. I copied an MP3 song to the windows/rings folder, but still dont see it as an ringtone options..any ideas How I could possibly set this up as a ringtone?
Could this have something to do with the file size?
if it's wm2002 it can only use wav ring tones
if it's wm2003 then it can only use wav and mid and wma ring tones
you can make mp3 to wma using the free program CDEX
If you have installed a media player that has associated itself with .mp3 then you will not be able to select mp3s in the settings. You will need to open the player installed and clear the association in settings. If this does not work search for "mp3 ringtone" and you will find the registry setting that you may need to manually change.
hi
how can i select music tracks as the ringtone please? When i go into options, notifications and alerts the sample tracks appear in the list but my own music i've put on the phone isn't there? Also could someone tell me how i can get the alerts etc as loud and as easy to recognise as possible as i keep missing calls etc. i've put all volumes up to max and turned vibration on whilst ringing .. anything else i can do?
thanks

Put the mp3's on your storage card or drop them in the windows folder in file explorer, check sounds & notifications and your music should appear under the ringtone tab
Use the "File Explorer", go to your musicfile and tap and hold on it, and you can set it as ringtone

To use an mp3 as a ringtone you need to drop the files into My Documents/My Ringtones
For alert sounds use the windows folder.
I was having the same issue but does this mean the ringtones that i have on my SD card will be taking memory space from the device. I dont want to use my device memory for my music and ringtones. I found out that i can just add them directly to my Storage Card, but if i add them to a folder within the Storage Card, once i go to select a tone from the drop list it wont show any of my custom ringtones.
I've probably held down on a music track and seen "Add as Ringtone" probably a million time but when I read the initial question there was no chance in hell I would have even thought of it.
Thanks for reminding me.
I have the Touch Pro for Verizon and it has an MP3 Trimmer app. You can use this app to import an mp3 and trim it to the part of the song that you want, and set it as a ringtone.

You can put your ringtones in a folder on your micro SD card, I have mine in: \Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones
and they show up in "Sounds & Notifications"
But just as mrvanx stated above, you have to put them in: \Windows to have them show up for alerts, like new text messages.
I also use Audacity to trim my music files for ringtones, it works great.

I put them in the windows map, not in a ringtone map.
Just put a small mp3 file in your windows map and then check it.
But i do that only for message tones.
For normal ringtones i made a map in my sd card and called it My ringtones.

WOW!!!Thank you so much for your help it worked
Where are the existing notification sounds in the device memory? For some reason, when I go to Settings --> Sounds & Notifications --> Notifications, the sounds files from Bing Maps show up in the drop down menu. I would like to remove them. I'm using Energy ROM if it matters.

There is a default setting ringtone in my LGO3D. How to change customize that to use my own mp3 as a ringtone? Is it possible to set individual ringtone for each contact?
Thanks.
custom ringtones
I created a directory in mnt / sdcard that I named it audio, then I created ringtones directory in it, I put mp3 files there and then reset the phone, mp3 files appeared in a selection of tones
I manage to make it appear in my ringtone selection by placing the audio files in sdcard/media/ringtones. But now it make the audio not appear in music player. Default music player require it to be placed in sdcard/media/music folder.
Is there a way to make the ringtone files able to be browse and select? Any app recomendation? I tried ringo. But the audio files need to be places specific in the sdcard/media/ringtones.
I go into my music press and hold an mp3 song you want at it says use as ringtone
dno if that helps
this works
look on the market for "ringtone maker" it is free and you browse for a song on your library and then crop it and you can either set it is notification ringtone or default call tone
As for the contact assignment i have not tried this but just had a quick look in my contacts and i cant see an option for it.
Ringdroid
I use and enjoy Ringdroid.
Ok, found that ringo pro can do the trick. I hope there is a free way.
