Can't Use MP3 File as a Ringtone

I transfered one mp3 to my phone to test it out. It plays just fine but I can't use it as a ringtone. Wouldn't work if it was on the card or the phone.

Another question, I use a Mac and there are two directories that appear when I connect the phone with the USB cable. One is labeled Phone and the other is Phone Card. For some reason I can't eject the Phone Card directory. Does anyone else with a Mac have this problem?

You might try trimming the mp3 file down to 15 or 20 seconds (the time it takes for your voicemail to pick up) for a ringtone. The w300 did the same thing, but when I trimmed it down, it worked as a ringtone. Good luck, and let us know what you find out.

Well my gf has the W600 and she can use full songs as ringtones on her phone. I'll try to trim the mp3. Know any mp3 editors for Mac?

You're right. My fiance had the 600 also, and you could use full songs as ringtones.

Sorry, I have xp, don't know any for Mac.
