Mp3 as ringtone

How do i set my MP3 songs as my ringtone? please advise. Tks...

Start iTunes and find the song you want to convert. (It must be an MP3.)
Right-click the song and choose Get Info.
Click the Options tab.
Check the Start Time and Stop Time boxes, then enter times for each (no more than 30 seconds apart, the maximum length for a ringtone). I used 0:00 and 0:30, respectively, as "Spit It Out" has a perfect ascending lead-in.
Click OK, then right-click the song again and choose Create AAC Version. You should immediately see a new 30-second version of the song.
Drag that version out of iTunes and into the folder of your choice.
Delete the 30-second version from iTunes and undo the Start Time/Stop Time changes to the original.
Open the folder containing the 30-second AAC file you dragged out of iTunes, then change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r. Double-click it and it immediately gets added to iTunes' ringtone library.
Finally, sync your iPhone. When it's done, you can head into the settings and select your new ringtone.

  • Using MP3s for ringtones on nokia 5200

    I just got the 5200 and i've transferred lots of mp3s to my memory card but the phone will not allow me to use the mp3s for ringtones. When I select options the Use tone option is gray and when I select it I get either a message saying the file size is too large, or when I transferred smaller files I get the error "not allowed by activation key"
    any helpful advice?
    thanks in advance

    OK ... here's what I found ... .MP3's on Nokia 5200 won't work as ringtones. Also, .AAC's won't work either unless they have some special code associated with them (supposedly to help protect copyrighted material ... I think it's a scam to make you buy ringtones). However, it will recognize and use .WAV files. I used Nero to convert a 30 second section of an .MP3 to a .WAV file with the following attributes (formatCM,samplerate:22kHz,channels:1(mono),sampling:8bit,bitrate:176kbps). Regardless, any previous setting I used can be altered. These settings gave me a good quality sound and kept a 30 second .WAV file under 600kB (any bigger and Nokia may complain of the file being too big). Pain in the **bleep**.

  • Can i set mp3 as ringtone?

    Can i set any mp3 song as ring tone in iPhone.

    i am not sure why apple havent released the buying ringtone options in the UK yet, but i know they have in the US!
    you dont need a mac but i know you can do it within garrageband (free on all macs), you could proably just use a file converter program of some sort to convert to the correct format within windows (have never tried doing it in windows so cannot comment to much on this subject)

  • Converting mp3 to ringtone

    I followed all of the guides on how to make an mp3 into a ringtone.
    I shortened it to 30 seconds after creating the AAC. I drag it to my desktop and make it into m4r and it becomes a "ring" file on my desktop.
    It seems to become one but when I drag it to my "tones" section on my iPhone 4s, it shows up in the library but isn't dark black font and is the light grey (assuming that means it's not on there) and has the sync 2 arrows following each other next to it (but are not moving).
    I don't know what I am doing wrong, but here is a legit pic of my iTunes if I'm allowed to post the tinypic URL. Don't worry, its nothing fishy.

    [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/10z70hv.png[/IMG]

    I've done that and deleted all versions of the song except for the .m4r and it still give me the grey colored one when I go to drag it into iTunes.

    You have to refer to your phone's manual: What kind of files types will your phone accept as ringtone?
    Might worth to look at the webpage(s) of your cell phone brand.
    For phones like Ericsson, Nokia .... the are converters available.

  • Problem with MP3 Ringtones

    Hi,
    we have a Problem with our BB 10 devices if you use a MP3 as ringtone with more than a 128 bitrate the ringtone never stops if the caller cancels the call. And then you have to search how to stop the playing of the sound else it repeats until the accumulator is empty or the next person calls.
    We have the problem with all our 25 BB10 devices.

    The Z10 can deal with a 128 bitrate for an MP3 ringtone.  Most ringtons you find are 96 or 128 etc.  It most likely the size of the file that is causing you a problem.  Try using a smaller sized file around 3 to 8 megs or so.

  • Nokia 6630 mp3 ringtone problem

    I have Nokia 6630 vodaphone unlock, I am unable to set MP3 as ringtone.
    Can same one help me.
    Thanks,
    Tahir

    You have to convert it to some other format first (with, e.g., PC Suite from http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite).
    That is because Vodafone has disabled the use of MP3's as ringtones on their branded 6630 phones. Presumably they did it so that people would rather buy ringtones from their site rather than using their own music, etc.
    Unbranded/retail 6630 phones do not have this restriction (and probably not those by other operators than Vodafone, either).

  • How to make my ringtone mp3

    i have an iphone 4 and will want to use an mp3 song from my songs as ringtone,how can i do this?

    iPhone ringtones use .m4r not mp3.
    Ringtone on iPhone has 35 seconds limitation.
    1. Import your mp3 into iTunes and convert it to m4a.
    Check option in iTunes Preferences... (Windows: Edit > Preferences...) > General > Import Settings... > Import Using: > AAC Encoder
    2. Right click on mp3 to Create AAC version.
    3. Drag the converted song onto the desktop and delete the converted song from iTunes
    4. Change the file extension on desktop from .m4a to .m4r (Windows: make sure you can see the file extension)
    5. Import from desktop back to iTunes.
    6. Select ringtone in Tones section and sync with your iPhone.

  • How to create a Tone folder in itunes 11.0.4 to add ringtone

    firstly how to convert an mp3 file or .mp3 to .mAr file and second one in my itunes11.0.4 version there is no "TONES" named folder shown so if i convert mp3 to ringtone where could i place?, so please tell how to make folder.

    [ajayubbott],
    I am not sure if you should create another folder to house all your servlets when using Java Web Server 2.0.
    The servlet invoker of Java Web Server 2.0 looks at the <server_root directory>/servlets/ directory as the root servlet directory by default and any servlets that is housed under this directory is monitored by the custom class loader provided by Java Web Server 2.0.
    This custom class loader will automatically reload any serlvet class files that are modified i.e. a newer version of the servlet that is newly compiled e.g. change in functionality. What this means is that you don't have restart the web server to reload any new version of the existing servlets on the web server.

  • Change MP3 File Name

    Does anyone know how to change the name of an MP3 file (ringtone) that I've downloaded/saved on my BB Curve?  No information is easily found when I do an internet search, BB web search, or in the user's guide.

    1. Go to the media folder on your homescreen,
    2. Press the blackberry button, go to explore,
    3. find the file you want to rename,
    4. press the blackberry button,
    5. scroll down to rename

  • How to use music as ringtones?

    I just bought an IPhone 3Gs and is wondering if it is possible to use music / mp3s as ringtones?

    You can use iTunes to manually create a ringtone with a music or sound file that does not include DRM protection.

  • Nokia 6205 Custom Ringtones

    Hey everyone,
    I recently picked up a Nokia 6205 and it seems like a pretty neat phone. I got a USB data transfer cable so that I could create my own mp3 ringtones and use them on the phone. However, while the cable allows me to transfer the mp3 files into the "My Music" folder, I have no way of transferring them into the "My Ringtones" folder or using them as ringtones, period.
    Would procuring a microSD card solve this problem? Or is there some other way to use downloaded mp3s as ringtones? The Verizon employee at the store promised me that this was possible, so I'm going to be pretty upset if it turns out not to be true.
    Thanks very much.

    Hey,
    I ran into the same problem.  There's a workaround for applying a high-quality ringtone for your personal ring. However, you can't assign it to anyone in your contacts.  
    I wrote a tutorial on my blog at:
    http://jasondenney.com/nokia-6205-dark-night-edition-custom-ringtone-hack-tutorial/
    Basically, you save your song clip as a MP4 video file.  Using a cable or MicroSD card should let you put the file in the "my_flix" folder, and it should work.

  • Ringtone tab missing

    Hope u can help
    My dad updated itunes after seeing that the ringtone tab is missing. The one when u click ur device.
    We have tried to de-select, sync, re-select and sync in preferences but are still unable to get the tab.
    Please help
    Cheers

    Not sure if this will solve any of your problems, but here's how I got my Ringtones to sync to my:
    iPhone 4S,
    MacBook Pro,
    iTunes 10.5:
    Your music files have a specific format that allows iTunes to read them (usually .MP3)
    Your Ringtones also have to have a specific format in order for iTunes to know what to do with them (.M4R)
    Some of your ringtones might be in .MP3 format (or you might have clipped out a certain part of a song you like from an .MP3 file). In order for iTunes to recognize your Ringtone as a Ringtone file, it HAS to be in .M4R format. I don't know if you can just change the file type manually (i.e.: type in .M4R where .MP3 is). If so, then you can use a batch renamer program like "A Better Finder Rename" for Mac, or some other utility)).
    If just manually retyping the format doesn't work, then I would use a program such as WonderShare's "Video Converter Pro" which will let you convert Audio and Video files to other formats.
    As soon as I started the Video Converter Pro batch conversion from .MP3 to .M4R, Video Converter Pro started importing the new .M4R files into iTunes (10.5) and magically the "Ringtones" tab appeared on the left side of the iTunes window, as well as along the top with the other iTunes tabs such as Summary, Info, etc.
    After that, just go to the Ringtones tab at the top and click whichever Sync button you like ("All" or "Selected Ringtones").
    Hope this helps,
    J.
