Problem in setting locked song as ringtone in Noki...

I have had X6 for about a week now, previous phone was Nokia 1100. Now I am having a problem setting songs as ring tones.Now I just cant seem to do this with My new Nokia X6 as far as I can tell you have to go via settings...Personal...Profiles...Options...Persona​lise.. Ringing Tone. Also I have downloaded songs via Nokia and I can't seem to use those as a set ring tone. It says thay are locked... Wat to do?? Somebody help me!!!! ....

If they are WMA files then you can't use them as ringtones, this is nothing to do with Nokia - it is a decision of the record companies who decided top license the tracks music playback only, not tones - it is the DRM (Digitial Rights Management) preventing the track being used as a tone.
Furthermore, if you have downloaded free using the Ovi Music Unlimited service the DRM is even tighter, restricting the tracks to being played on a single phone and a single PC registered to the OMU service. There is no such thing as a free lunch, not without heavy strings attached, anyway.
If you buy MP3 files from the paid Ovi Music Store, these have no DRM and can be used as tones.

  • Palm Pre: Unable to set a song as a ringtone

    I just got my Pre and downloaded music from my iTunes. But I can't set a song as a ringtone. I tried to put it to specific contacts, like it says I can, but it doesn't work. I select a song but it will take me back to the system ringtones where I have to go back to hit "done" so it doesn't save (done only appears on the initial 'edit' screen). The contact will still say "set a ringtone" or sometimes I get the error message "Adding ringtone failed. File may already exist" (probably because I keep trying it but it doesn't work!)
    Anyone have a fix or what step am I missing?

    I am having a very similar problem that just started happening.  I have had my pre since it debut. Up until today I could change ringtones no problem wether it be an mp3 or preloaded tone.  I created my own ringtone at www.makeownringtone.com where you take whatever lyrics from the song you want as the ringtone.  It added successfully but when I select it for the ringtone it puts the check mark like it was successful and then I have some one call and it plays the pre default ringtone.  When I change it again and close it out then go back into the ringtones it still has pre as the ringtone.  Even if I select another preloaded ringtone it won't change.  Have any ideas or suggestions for this one!  I am going to sprint tomorrow and I can't wait to see what they say!

    The procedure is the following:-

    *Click Ok.

    How do I set the songs from itunes on my iphone 4s as ringtones? I shouldn't have to purchase ringtones when I have a whole music library on my iphone to choose from and songs that I have already purchased! I should not have to rebuy music!!
    If anyone can help me on this that would be great!  Thank you!

    My comment is the same as Dyson2003.
    I am very disappointed, as I thought by purchasing a ringtone the set up would be easy - this I find to be extremely misleading. Before iPhone allows you to purchase a ringtone, they should make it very clear that to download a ringtone you will need the GarageBand programme in order to enable the ringtone to work.
    I sent an email to the support team, in the hope that they would be able to advise me. I was basically referred to a telephone number for the country that I live in. In writing this email, when finished I think I am going to ask back for a refund.
    In reading the above comments, I am even more annoyed because I've googled GarageBand only to see that theirs a cost of £2.99. I am so not impressed!

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to make the Workflow Tasks work out with a pre-determined due date that it's 2 days from today in your client list workflow.
    I recommend that you can create this client list workflow as below in your environment.
    Then, you can go to “Start Options” to check “Start workflow automatically when an item is created”, publish this workflow and test if it works.
    When an new item is added in the client list, its corresponding Workflow Task is shown as below:
    Best Regards,

    You can't use the whole song as a ringtone, you would have to create it either by using itunes or an app.

    how do i set a song in my Music folder on my iPhone 5s as a ring tone?

    You need to create a ringtone from your song using itunes (see Create free ringtones with iTunes 10), then select it on the Tones tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync it to your phone.  Once synced to your phone you will find it in Settings>Sounds>Ringtone at the top of the list.  (If you're using iTunes 11 you may need to go to View>Show Sidebar to follow the process shown in the linked video.)

  • Im unable to set a song as a ringtone.

    Hello - I'm unable to set a song as a ringtone inspite of following the procedures. Please help

    So, you did not do this step?
    "Now in the Finder (or Windows explorer, the process is the same for Windows iTunes 10), rename the file extension from .m4a to .m4r"
    And these?
    Accept the file extension change to .m4r
    Now back in iTunes remove the file from the playlist (do NOT move to Trash, select ‘keep file’) and then re-import the file into iTunes 10 by double clicking the .m4r file within the Finder or Windows"
