Compose Cellular Ringtones
When you get your cell phone, you are given a choice of several ringtones you can use for free. However, as you start using your phone around others, you will start to hear the same tones being used by others. You can always purchase ringtones but why bother when you can make your own.
Instructions
1. Download the free media editing software called Audacity from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/about/, if you don't already have a music editing software installed. This will enable you to listen and edit the song on your computer. You will only want a 15 second snippet of the song so choose the appropriate section. Change the settings of the song to be 8000 Hz,16 bit sample, and mono .
2. Export the song section as a mp3 file. You will have to download a LAME software program that will encode the song in the mp3 format so it can be exported. You can find the download here: http://lame.buanzo.com.ar/, if you don't have it. When you export the file make sure you remember where you file it.
3. Open your email program and send your cell phone a message. The address is usually your cellphone number (no dashes)@vzpix.com, for Verizon, or @mms.att.net for AT&T, @messaging.sprintpcs.com for Sprint, and @tmomail.net for T-Mobile. Use the attachment option and attach the mp3 file you just filed. Click send to send it to your cell phone.
4. Open the message on your cell phone when it rings and save it as a ringtone. Now you can listen to your own song section as a ringtone that no one else has on their phone.
