1) First thing you must know is that the maximum file size for a ringtone is 300K.

2) You need the following hardware: USB cable with the Samsung connector on one end. I have purchased these on Ebay for about $5.

3) You need the following software (all are free): Samsung PC Studio 3 (get this from the Samsung web site); Audacity (get this from the Audacity web site); Winamp (get this from the Winamp web site). I do not provide the details of how to perform the operations listed below, but with a little reading and experience using these it's not too complicated.

4) You need an MP3 file. There are many places to get these. I try to get a small MP3 file to begin with but any size will do. I have downloaded some of them from the Audiko web site.

5) Open the MP3 file in Audacity and select the section you want to have for a ringtone. Keep this less than 20 seconds, remember the 300K max. Save the file in another location on your PC, as it will have the same file name as the original. Close Audacity.

6) Open the saved file in Winamp and right click on the file name. Select View Info. You will see two tabs, ID3v1 and ID3v2. Select the ID3v2 tab and click on the block that says "Copy to ID3v1". Close winamp. Verify the file size is less than 300K. If not go back to step 5 and remove a small portion of the MP3 file, then you must do step 6 again.

7) Connect your cell to the USB port. You will need to turn off Bluetooth Activation and make sure the USB Mode is set to PC Studio.

8) Open Samsung PC Studio and in a couple of seconds the phone should show connected. If not, verify the options is step 7 or you could have problems with your USB port. Open the Multimedia Manager and go to Files>Get Files. Find the file you saved above and select it. This puts it in the PC Studio application. Highlight this file and click on "To Phone" in the top right of the window. The file should download to the phone. Then you just need to set it as the active ringtone.

I know some will say you can edit the ID Tags ID3v1 & ID3v2 in Audacity but I have tried that and for some reason it doesn't work. As a matter of fact, if you look at the ID Tags in Audacity, both will already be populated but V1 will not be in Winamp. I have found that if V1 is not populated and you download the file to the phone, it will not work. When you try to set it as a ringtone, it will tell you the data is incorrect. I am not technical enough to explain that.

I was able to use songs from my iTunes library to create MP3 ringtones, and upload them to my Samsung Impression via the data cable (which I got free with my phone). I found instructions online and just experimented until it worked, because I'm pretty new at doing stuff like this. I don't even have any data packages or even text messaging set up on this phone yet and I haven't learned how to send things by bluetooth (I just have a headset and that's about all I know about bluetooth).

I was able to use Audacity to cut and paste together ringtones (basically I had to cut out some explicit stuff so it wouldn't go off in a work meeting by accident and cause 103 people to stare at me).

It's completely doable with even a small amount of knowledge and medium amount of effort. I just plunged in, played with it, and got it to work.

I created specific ringtones for certain family members and friends. Turned out to be pretty fun. I just hope my aunt never finds out her ringtone is Gold Digger.

ye its pretty straight forward with the software

I just figued out how to make and transfer Mp3's to my Samsung Rugby A836.
Use the Sony Ericsson DRM packager.

Place the DRM file where ever you like in the configuration options and ensure that it is selected as combined delivery.

Select the Mp3 and Create the DRM content. ( you do not have to reduce the file size and it will work with small WAV files.

Plug your phone in and select media player when it asks for the connection and open the phones directory.

Place the .dm file it created in the directory into the ring tunes folder.

disconnect your phone.

find the file in the media player and set as ring tune.

If you try this with PC studio and phone explorer or in mass storage it will not work and will not recognise the .DM file that you created.

Hope this helps.

Very helpful. Thanks

Thanks! It couldn't be any simpler.
