Razr2V9 - keep ringtones out of mp3 player?

Is there a way I can keep my 20 second ringtones from being opened
whenever I start the MP3 player?

If I move them to the audio directory, instead of songs, would that work?

Create a Playlist for the songs only and play that instead of just
everything in the file.

OK, great.

Is there a way to make the playlist files on my PC, rather than twiddle
them slowly into being on the phone?

Stupid, isn't it? Damned Z6m does the same thing.

Only easy way I know of to cure it is to put all your music on the memory
card in a MUSIC directory tree. Then, open Winamp on your PC and use
Winamp to make m3u playlists the easy way without all the sellphone menu
button nonsense. The playlists will ONLY have the songs you want to
hear. I have specific playlists, whole genre playlists so I can play all
the songs of a genre at random, and one massive playlist with all the
songs in all the genres on it.

Tell Winamp to RANDOMIZE the playlists before you save them to the disk,
then you don't HAVE to listen to ALL the Beatles tunes before the stupid
phone goes on to something else. Motophones suck at "random"
play....which I'm convinced the Z6m only does to the first 50 songs it
finds. With a randomized playlist created by Winamp, at least you can
force the stupid phone down the randomized list a few hundred songs so
you can hear something different when YOU want to.

Stupid sellphones play playlists much better when some other program has
made its decisions for it. Then you don't have to listen to the Nuclear
Plant Implosion Alarm (voicemail ringtone) or the submarine diving claxon
horn (text message ringtone) during the middle of the EZ listening music
that HAD her all schmoozed up before they went off on the damned
phone....(c;

Winamp works great.

Plug your memory card into the PC...
Click and drag all the songs for a certain playlist over into Winamp's
playlist at once. Click MISC and RANDOMIZE to scramble the playlist.

Click SAVE then SAVE LIST and put the list directly on the memory card.

Don't forget to use the SAFELY REMOVE HARDWARE utility in the tray to force
Windoze to write everything to the memory card BEFORE you unplug it....

So the phone will read .m3u files?

I tried creating playlists on the phone but it didn't *make* m3u
files, so...

You should have no trouble reading m3u files on the Z9.

Phone created playlists are some proprietary nonsense or other, I'm sure.
I never use them.
