Music as ringtones

scottyd540

I was wondering if it is possible to use an mp3 (or WMA) file and set as a ringtone on the Chocolate. I've tried to look this up in the manual but I haven't found anything.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

several people chimed in and answered this question in other posts, but the basic gist is yes.

I used the following method:
-crop mp3 files to under 350kb on your comp using software (audacity works well)
-go to mobileforfun.com
-send it to your phone
-save it, and then you can do what you please with it

ah, sorry about that dyslexia confusion...

Yes, yes..its funformobile.com LOL

And i used audicity to crop mine. This has also been posted before, but once you DL audicity you have to DL the "Lame" plug-in in order to export mp3 files out.

Put your phone number into the funformobile site, or...as yeahright said, you can just email it to yourself at "yournumber"@vzwpix.com

Either way works...i thought funformobile was a littler faster.

Good luck!

You can send it using any email program yahoo, hotmail etc... just crop it using whatever program you prefer (I use soundforge). Send it to your phone yourphonenumber@vzw.com. When you recieve the message it'll ask you if you want save it, then select the save as ringtone option. When you go to set your ringtone it'll right there at the top of the list.

I tried sending a small music file (less than 2 MB) using Fun For Mobile, and it sent it, but my Chocolate said the file was too big to open. I tried again with an even smaller music file and I got the same message Anyway to fix this?

I believe you need to have the file under 350kb, which is MUCH smaller then 2MB. 🙂

BITPIM, BITPIM, BITPIM!!! get a data cable and put any noise, sound, music, etc. on your phone as a ringtone. it can be wma or mp3, it doesn't matter. you don't have to compress your files either so they sound better.
