I know there are a few threads going around about ringdroid and other great apps you can download to make ringtones for your X. Personally I like using more on my computer...I just feel I can edit them better.
I don't know why this is never mentioned, but you can just create a folder called "ringtones" on your SD card and pop some mp3s in there. Boom, they automagically show up in the ringtone listing!

Yes but it doesn't give you an option to edit it without going through an app or another program Still, good thing for people to know though!

Very cool trick. Does this work for Notifications as well, I wonder. Might have to try this. I used Ringdroid to create a couple of ringtones that show up in the list fine, but I'm having trouble finding my "newly created" notification sounds for texts and such.
Yep, that baby has been key with my LG enV: had to go through slicing it down, and then using the filters on it to reduce the bass and increase the volume, etc. Thank the lord those days are almost over!
BTW can anyone suggest a good way that I can set a voice recording as a ringtone. I want to sing a little Whitney Houston into my phone b/c I have a voice like an angel: some people have told me that while I'm singing I take the form of a unicorn!

Even easier...just push and hold the song title (in Music Player) and select to use it as a ringtone. It will then be in the list of ringtones.

So I have Ringdroid and Ringtone but I don't see an option to assign a different ringtone to a specific contact. When I go to save one, the choices are Music, Alarm, Notification, Ringtone. I swear there used to be an option to Assign to Contact (that never worked, but at least it was there).

After you choose ringtone another menu comes up with the options: Assign to contact, make default, or exit.

You can assign a ring tone to any contact by going into contacts, selecting the contact you wish to edit, hitting the menu button, selecting edit. Scroll all the way down until it shows you "additional info" with an arrow pointing sideways, touch the arrow so it points down and scroll further down to the end and touch the arrow to Call Handling-Ringtone No Ringtone specified and it will give you the list of ringtones to choose from. I used the method where I created a folder named "ringtones" on the SD card and chose one from there. And yes it also works the same way with notifications, just name a folder for them and throw some in there and you will get them listed in the choices for notification tones in the set up.
Real easy after I tried a few other methods like Astro to copy them to the ringtone folder in the system/media/ringtone directory. That didn't work at all, but it worked on some of my other smartphones so I thought it might work here.

I use Firefox and the add on Downloadhelper. It lets you download most media from websites. Goto ringtone or sounds websites, play the sample and then use the Downloadhelper icon to download the mp3 to your desktop. Easy as pie.
Ok I am having problems understanding. I got how to change the ringtones on people on my contact list. But for some reason it does not offer me the same ring tones on my email. How come ? Or do I have to do another step ?
Easiest Way To Customize Notification Tone Droid X
I Found If You Go To Pisamba And Download The Ringtone You Want (On Computer). Then You Connect Your Phone To The Computer. A folder will pop up , Click Open folder to view Files. Go To The Folder Media,
Then Audio, Then Notifications.
Open The Folder Where You Saved The Ringtone You Downloaded, Copy The Music File, And Paste It Into The Notifications Folder You Have Open In The Other Window.
Finally On Your Droid X Press The Button Next To Home, Choose Settings, Sound, Then Notification Ringtone. Then Find The Song You Added.

How long was your excerpt? I do different things (morse code) and it does fine with the 2-3 second strings. Unlike my old HTC Touch, they seem to have to be MP3, not wav files.
