Phone Help Needed!

This is all legal.
Alright, I went to a Fido booth to get a phone today, all were pretty lame.
The new designs were tiny, and looked like shit.

I was going to get a blackberry but then i'm like "Wtf? What for do I need one? I won't even use all the functions"
So I got a semi-old Samsung SGH-A736.

Opening the main menu, I was disapointed with the stupid ringtones so I decided to put my own music on it. Only to find out that.. it doesn't work.

Say, I want to put a song like "Whitechapel - Messiahbolical" as my ringtone.
How would I go about doing that? It doesn't let me set mp3's as ringtones. Do I need to convert it to a different file? Yes? No?

What you can try is recording it WITH your phone, then setting the voiceclip as your ringtone...

Use an audio file editor to shorten the length of the song you want to use. Then you should be able to use it as a ringtone.

Try that. It's a program.
And then here's a site that might work.
I can't find the old site i use to use.

What does it tell you when you try to set it as ringtone? Not supported content?

Try copying it to the phone (if it's on a memory card), & if that's blacked out set it as alarm tone, which should copy it to the phone.
Then from your Music folder you should be able to set as ringtone.

I have a oldass Samsung myself, so yeah.

Download the Sony Ericsson DRM Packager. http://developer.sonyericsson.com/ge...do?docId=76997

Make your mp3 exerpt and use the Sony DRM Packager to convert to .dm.

Copy the ringtone .dm onto your memory card.

When you find the file in the media menu play the music .dm file and pause it, go to options and your set as menu.

* set as voicecall ringtone
* set as videocall ringtone etc.

Now don't you regret buying that phone? I got a Walkman that lets me use music as RT.
