Re: How to> MP3 Ringtones on the LG Chocolate!

Bongo2134 · 11-10-2006, 01:05 PM

ok so I downloaded the Bitpim thing and figured out how to set songs as my ringtones but Im only able to put the whole song on there and I dont want the whole thing. Does anyone know how to cut a song down to about 30 seconds and put it on there? If you do let me know.... thanks!~

Just get some basic audio editing software from Free Software Downloads and Software Reviews - Download.com. You'll be able to edit the sound file down to 30 seconds, then load the new, shorter file into your phone with Bitpim.

I found that you can cut down the file size with BitPim by going into add song with the little music note with the addition symbol next to it and go find the song you want to cut and go down to where the red and purple bars are and move them to where to want them. When you think you have them where you want them, click on play clip and that will be the sound that comes on your cell. The only thing I can't figure out yet is when i do get my 30 sec clip on my phone and set it to caller id and call my phone from my house to check it, I get my VZW default ringer coming out of the speakers. Any help or advice anyone could give me?

i own the 8600
i just downloaded audacity
cut a mp3 to less than 30 seconds
saved the selection to mp3
emailed it to myself xxxxxxxxxx@vzwpix.com
open and saved as ringtone
sq is perfect
and music essentials kit/micro SD are not needed

i also figured out how to put about 180 songs onto my 8600 if anyone needs help w/that too

hey whats up im new to this and i just bought my new lg white chocolate phone so its kind of new and i wanted to know is there a way to use bitpim or something like that to send ringtones to my phone because i downloaded bitpim and it says that the firmware version for the chocolate on there is T85VZV03 and i have T85VZV04 does that mean theres no way to send ringtones to my phone i have the music essential kit if that is necessary

I honestly don't think that there will be a problem with it unless that is as far as it goes as far as getting BitPim to work. There will be updates on BitPim, but I can't tell you when because I honestly don't know but if it doesn't work right now, then it will soon. Just keep checking out the BitPim website and they will let you know.

I own a chococrap and am having a hard time, I am really missing my i730 right now, it was so easy to make and load ringtones.... anyways I have read what you guys have been saying and I D/L audacity and took an mp3 cut it down to 300kb and loadded to my micro sd put it in the "sounds" folder and I could not get it to work as ring tone, I saw no option to save as ringtone either, then tried to email it to my phone but emails with the mp3 were never received. I can get text and pics but not email w/mp3 file attachment. Any help is greatly appriciated!

Archangel1596 · 01-05-2007, 11:18 PM

D/L BitPim. Go to google and search for it and download the latest one. It wont be hard to find. when you do that, plug your phone into the computer and let BitPim find it, then use the ringtone selection to find your sound clips

so theres no way to get all those free java games yet for the new lg phones. I feel so cheated not being able to get those games. I'm not about to pay $10 for tetris. What happened to the good ol' days when phones came with a few free games.

when u say 180, do u mean u can fit more songs than usual on ur phone, i have the music essentials kit, and when i synced songs to my 8600 i made wmp convert them to 128 bitrate to save a little space. I have the 256 mb card and am thinkin about buying a 1gb card.

UPDATE: I just converted to the different bitrates, the lowest i will go is 96. And isnt wma smaller than the mp3 format?

Adrenachrome · 03-03-2007, 06:13 AM

So this is my third 8500, and now they've updated the software, Bitpim says 'blocked by this phones provider'

hey, i got the same fone. i downloaded audacity like you said and cut a song but couldnt figure out how to save it as an mp3. it saved it as an audacity file. i went to export mp3. i got a pop up that said audacity doesnt not export mp3 file directly, but instead uses the freely available lame library to handle mp3 encoding. do u know how to download that now? thanks for your help.

It's not really Verizon that's stiffing us though, right? They had nothing to do with the actual programming of the phone, or the capabilities of the software. So, really, it's LG that's stiffing us, not Verizon. At least that's what the dude from the Verizon store told me.

I don't know, just thought i'd throw that in there!
