How to put custom ringtone on phone?

[rokryder]

I guess I wasn't too clear before. I want to create, not download, ringtones from audio files. I have the creation part okay, I just don't know how I can get them into the phone and working.

Thanks to all!

This is how I was able to create a custom ringtone and use it in my Moto W755:

First of all you'll need a MicroSD card. This card will fit into the card slot located under the battery on the W755.

You'll need to format the card. Formatting the card willl create the folders to place your media into.

You for mat the card by selecting MENU > SETTINGS AND TOOLS > MEMORY > CARD MEMORY . FORMAT CARD.


To make the ringtone, I used an audio editing program such as Polderbits audio editor.

Using the editor I clipped the portion of the song I wanted to use, making sure the clip did not exceed 30 seconds in length.

I now had an MP3 28 seconds long I could use for the ringtone.

When you formatted the card it created 7 folders:
media / My_Flix / My_Images / My_Music / My_Pix / My_Sounds

The only folder that will recognise an MP3 is the My_Music folder. Here you can drop any MP3 song you want into it and play in on your phone, but you can't move them to a ring tone.

The other folder (the one you'll use for your ring tone) will only recognise WMA sound files. Therefore, you will need to convert your saved MP3 sound clip to a WMA clip.

The program I used for this was Fairstars audio converter.

Once the file was converted to a WMA file, I placed it into the My_Sounds folder, removed the card from the computer, placed it in the phone card slot and powered it up.

From there I selected MENU > SETTINGS AND TOOLS > MEMORY > CARD MEMORY > MY_SOUNDS.

The sound clip was in the folder. Select OPTIONS > MOVE > MARK ALL > DONE > then select YES to move to phone.

The clip is now in your phone's My_Sounds folder.

Select MENU > MEDIA CENTER > MUSIC AND TONES > MY SOUNDS.

Find the clip you made, then click OPTIONS > SEND > NEW PICTURE MESSAGE. Type in your phone number and send it. In a few minutes you will receive the message. When you open the message the clip will play.

While the clip is playing, click OPTIONS > SAVE SOUND > SET AS > SET AS RINGTONE > OK.

The sound file is now in your ringtones and can be used.

Sounds complicated, but it's not.

If you're not able to convert your file to a WMA file send it to me and I'll be happy to concert it for you and send it back.

Have fund and enjoy your new ringtones!
