Help How to set mp3 to ringtone and message tone?

[nilaoz]

Hello everyone,
I found the solution and I swear it works.
After reading all of the posts and downloading the recommended Ringdroid I found the right function in the phone while setting my alarm for the next morning. Yeah, the music is hidden under the "Clock" icon, that you will find in main menu (the one that has settings icon, Radio FM, Camera, My Files and all this stuff). 1) tap the blue window on the left lower corner of the main screen/display. 2) tap the Clock icon.
3) tap the music notes (should be third from left). 4) pick a song from the list. 5) tap the menu button (on the left from the "home" button). 6) choose "set as ringtone" from options that will pop out. Et voila

Hi nilaoz, thanks but that won't set an mp3 as a "notification" or "message alert" etc...only as a ringtone. I still find that the Ringdroid app is the quickest & easiest way. You can set whichever part of a song you want as the tone. And for number of taps compared to your method, it is about half. Does anybody else know a better way? GrahamF/. London

LOL!!! Ringdroid app is still quicker & easier!! It creates the folders, creates the lists & puts all mp3's into the folders!! If you don't want the beginning of the song as the ringtone/alarm/notification, you can choose the middle, or the chorus etc... Come on guys, I'm not on commission to push Ringdroid, but it IS the puppies undercarriage!! Unless somebody can prove otherwise..............

hi there, I'm also a newbie in using android..
I don't use any application
I just go to "My files" folder and then I copy the mp3 music file that I'd like to use as my message ringtone (you just need to tap and hold the music file then you can choose to copy or move the music file), after that I paste it in folder media/audio/notifications (also in "My files").
After you paste it then you can go to message/inbox icon located at the bottom of your screen and in the message/inbox setting now you can choose the file that you've copied as your message ringtone..

Hope this can help..

thanks for ur info!! i got my notifications sound finally! almost regrets with this phone.

You can create a folder on the root of your memorycard and name it "Notifications". Copy your songs into this folder and you'll be able to use those songs als message/notification tones.

What a star - works like a dream

Download 'lookout labs ad network detector' and use it on any free app you download, you will be surprised at what is hidden in them.

It worked! I've been searching for the solution for a while and now I have it. Thanks!

I was looking for some minions sounds earlier. I downloaded some and searched through them, found one I wanted and it said 'save to phone' - so I did. Then went into sounds and set it as a notification. I repeated this with three sep apps, and deleted the apps later leaving the sounds in my phone "Bottom" hahahahaha!!!

Best solution..... ( click on files, select MEDIA, click on AUDIO, create a folder within the AUDIO folder and rename it NOTIFICATION. Now move or copy and paste the music file you want from FILES>MUSIC into the NOTIFICATION folder you have created. Finally go to message setting and select ringtone and you will find your selected song there. Apps will only play thirty seconds of your preferred song but this process will play for long. Hope this helps.
