Samsung SCH-A970

Im pretty stumped at this point with ringtones on the samsung sch-a970. I go to (get tunes and tones) and try to record New. It works, BUT the catch is that you cant set it as a ringtone. My friend sent me a file as a .mid file and im trying to set that as a ringtone and it WONT work at all. Im stuck.. i hate verizon so much cause they screw you for everything.

My friend has the: Motorola V323 / V325 / V323i / V325i Not sure which one of those its the verizon one though. It EASILY records its own ringtones and lets you take in mid files and use them

please help thanks!
