Make Your own ringtones for free.

Don't you hate having to pay .99, 1.99, and 2.99 for ringtones? Well hopefully after this instrucatable, you'll learn how to make your very own ringtone.

NOTE: I AM NOT LIABLE WITH ANY LEGAL ISSUES, SUCH AS HOW YOU DOWNLOADED THE SONGS, NOR COPYRIGHTED LAWS.

Step 1: Find the song

First off you need to find a song that have you. I'm sure you can use DRM-free
(DRM is locked music like you buy from iTunes and CD's....You need to have the file unprotected)
(can can always get free music off of myspace or download.com)

What you do is you drag the music file to your desktop for easy use.

Then download a free audio editor called http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

I have tried the hacks with only one success -the first. Ever since, Verizon has replied "SMTP connection refused [@ vzwpix.com.] By sending to the new site, vtext.com, I am finding "attachment removed" This is obviously a declaration of war; any new workarounds?

sd card, usb cable

That just gets it physically onto your phone; it is not then transferable to ringtone -- which is NOT kept on SD card, but in phone memory. ringtones are not addressable. The hack works -- on occasion.

How do I "get it" to my phone?

if you use verizon. turn a 30ish second clip in mp3 format and change the exstension to .mid (no converting just name changing) then use e-mail to send it as an attachment to (your number)@vzwpix.com and it will show up on your phone in a couple of minutes, PS: by the way the email should hav no subject and no body

 is it free to email it to your phone

[lemonshark10]

its the cost of a standard picture message you would send from one phone to another. so if your phone plan includes MMS then your all set. Also there is no need to set it to .mid it can be left as .mp3. That was a mistake on my part

[mayo291]

 oh ok thanks

[mayo291]

 you could use a sd card/micro sd card

you can also just record the ringtone or song send it to urself and set them as ur rington.

not all phones can directly download music and audio files, let alone have an option to apply them as a ringtone. I have a LG Chocolate witch has a very good music player, but as most phones with media players now have applications such as VCast where you have to buy new ringtones, the option to set a song as one has dissapeared

[lemonshark10]

any sound file sent in a pix message can be converted into a ringtone or a sound

[lmaoguy]

for everyone that would like an idea of how to get the tone to your phone...
there is a site called funformobile.com that will let you upload to you phone via a text to your phone from their site. KEEP IN MIND you do need to have some sort of web or data plan with your carrier though or you will be charged for the kb data transfer

You really need to expand on: "Then get it to your phone, and apply as rigntone. " I feel that this instructable is not finished until you do.

! I read the entire thing just to get to the last line and read: "Then get it to your phone, and apply as rigntone. "
