MP3 Ringtones... Yes they can be used...
I had to reduce its size to 60KB, by converting the 30 second clip to Mono/16/16, and changing the extension to ".mid"... I don't know what the cutoff point is but a 150KB file will NOT work... I will narrow this down later...
But for now anyone that would like a very cute Ringtone... (the HamsterDance) Email me privately with your cell # to:

I switched to an app the could do 16/16/mono and it work!

- Take an MP3 and chop it down to the 30-60 seconds that you want to use as the ring tone. I used a program called Cucusoft All to MP3 MAV Converter to do this. Adobe Audition would work great but it's not shareware.
- Take the partial MP3 and convert it to a low quality file (16 kbps/16,000 hz/mono). It seems these exect settings are required. I also tagged it as copyrighted and original (not sure if this is needed to get it to work). I used a program called dBPowerAmp to do this - Cucusoft doesn't support 16 kbps).
- Rename the file as .mid (ie. tone.mp3 -> tone.mid). Not .midi as some of the verizon docs seem to suggest.

Quick follow-up if I may ---- did you have to adjust the volume at all?

(Do this is Explorer Tools>Folder Options>View tab).
Also, if dBPowerAmp is creating a .wav file, you need to make sure you set "Converting File to" > "Mp3 (lame)" and not "Wave" which is the default.
