Ringtones

Sorry - I feel like I'm being a pest I just HAVE to figure out all this neat stuff on my new Razr.

Can anyone reccomend a good site for getting ringtones? Also, what about one that explains how to turn existing MP3's into ringtones?

I'm assuming once I have one I can put them on by bluetooth PDA and send them over to my phone.

This site has that kinda info

Check out this forum to get started

this site doesn't seem to specialize in mp3 ringtones, but it is GREAT for finding midi ringtones.

If you want mp3 ringtones feel free to check my sig. We have tutorials as well as take request.

www.audio3g.com

Perfect website, now it includes free wallpapers.

I assume the Razr can play both mp3 and midi tones?

you don't need a site! You can use any mp3. Make your own. If you're really lazy then go to www.walmart.com and go to the music section. right click on any of the song sample links for any song and choose save as. Bam instant 30 second mp3 ringtone.

I believe so, I know for sure that it plays mp3s but not entirely sure it plays midis.

yeah, you can do that but you will still want to edit it for volume, sample rate, EQ and whatnot.

Yeah - that's one of the the things I'm looking for a site to walk me through. In my (very limited) understanding, there are limitations on the MP3's the phone can play. I'm looking for something to show me what kind of software I need to edit them and what kind of changes I need to make.

I trim the audio clip and export to .wav with Quicktime Pro and then use Mobile Phone Tools for the Fade-In/Out then export to phone that way. I could'nt unterstand trimming it in MPT but I am used to Quicktime.

Check my thread in the ringtones forum to make your own mp3 tones that WILL work on your V3

I'm pretty sure those are the instructions I DID follow. I was able to make it work using iTunes instead of dbPowerAmp and Media Recorder

Sorry I didn't know that you had already tried my way, you did get it working using it your way then, glad to hear. Please post this way in my ringtones thread so maybe someone using a mac can get similar results, thanks in advance.

there are no limitations on what you can put on the phone. Yes there are limits to what the phone actuall takes advantage of but the only reason to cutt bit rate and such is to save space. Most of my ringtones are 64kbps. I believe this is the default when using MPT. Most use audacity and others to configure there tones. I'm not going through all that for a ring tone! lol Heck most of the time I don't even trim them, I just send the whole dern song.

heres some stuff for ya...

That's the funny thing - I don't HAVE a Mac. iTunes never occured to me until someone suggested I try it.

Thanks - I'll give them a look-see.

Theres a sticky thread I started in the ring tone section called "taking requests for .mp3 ringers" Heres the link... http://www.cellphoneforum.net/t184878.html

I started that thread not that long ago. I have made several ringers for people on here and have made more than plenty for myself. I can make any .mp3 ringers you want, you just gotta follow the specifics and details in the thread, that is to help me make the ringer you want how you want it. I have had nothin but good feedback, so help yourself and request away.
