how do you view the file extensions? I tried but it saves it as .3gp.mp3
...
DrDnute, great job! I tried all sorts of other things but didn't even think to try that.
Thank god we got a way to set custom ringtones !
pogipinoy, you need to goto folder options and check the option that lets you see the file extentions in windows.

yah, and fix the seal on the camera swivel while youre at it. Im gonna return cuz i got dust under teh screen after a week of use
...
Under tools, go to folder options, then go to view, make sure hide file extensions is not checked. Your file extension will be visible after that, then just single click on the file in explorer, wait a split second and click on the file name again, this will give you the ability to change the name and file extension or just one or the other. Or you could just right click on the file and select rename to get the same effect. Enjoy. 🙂

No, you don't need to cut it down. I cut them sometimes when I want to use a specific part of the song. It also saves space until I get the 1GB card when it comes out. 😉
...
PLease tell me how to cut a song? do i have to have a special program. i download my songs from warez
...
just get any program that edits mp3s. I use mp3trim. Just go to download.com and search away.
...
I just use the software that came with the phone. It works just fine for me. 😉
...
I was just as frustrated as you guys. I can't take credit for figuring it out. I found this out in another forum. I was getting close in finding a workaround, because in the manual it says that video files can be used as caller id ringtones. I just didn't think it would be this simple!
I check out this website quite often. Great info and people. So I felt obligated to pass on this trick. 😉

I had a similar problem so I'll try to explain it as thoroughly as possible.
Open up a window (not in Internet Explorer/Firefox).
Go to Tools (inbetween favorites and help).
Go to Folder Options.
Click the View Tab.
Under Advanced settings, scroll down and uncheck the box that says "Hide Extensions for Known file types."
Click apply.
When you find your mp3, you should be able to see the file extension where it says .mp3. Change it from .mp3 to .3gp. Transfer the file to your phone and it should be recognized..
Hope it helps!

🙂 😁 😎 I got it!!!! Wow, thank you thank you thank you! did i say thank you?
...
waaait...ok I did all the directions that pogi said to do. I renamed the file in my computer of my files to .3gp and I tried to open it into my samsung cd program and it says, "file format not supported." Ahhh I'm getting so frustrated! Heelllp!! 😕
...
My phone disconnects once I put it in Mass Storage mode. I need to leave it in Modem mode or else it won't read the phone to my pc. Once I renamed the file ___.3gp, I try to open it in my samsung edit sounds program and it says "File Format Not Supported." Any suggestions to what I'm doing wrong??
...
Do this exactly and you should be fine...
CLOSE SAMSUNG PC STUDIO 3 PROGRAM you don't need it for this.
Put your phone in mass storage mode
Plug it into your computer
A window should pop up on your computer screen asking "What do you want windows to do?"
Click on "Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer"
(This should bring up the folders in your phone's T-flash card)
Open the music folder
Open a NEW window with your .3Gp file
copy and paste into the music folder
You should be good to go 😉

Ok this is what happens.
Put in mass storage mode.
Plug it into my computer.
No window pops up.
Therefore can't "open folder to view files using windows explorer" because I don't have any folders in my phone's T-flash card.
The rest I cant do...
Nothing happens when I put my T-flash card into the side slot. This is soo frustrating I don't understand how it works for everyone else. Thanks for attempting to help me I know how frustrating this can be for the ones helping me.

Yoon this may be a stupid question but are you sure you put the T-flash card into the side slot the right way? When you put it in looking at the screen the copper contacts should face you.

Pair the phone, rename your mp3s to .3gp, then copy them to the "Sounds" folder on the memory card. Go into file manager on the phone, open the memory card sounds folder, then move or copy them to the phone (thru the options menu). They will now be available as ringtones.
...
Question....do you have to save the file name as 3g? or is it the save as types? because they only have wav. mp3 amr and acc...so please help me clarify this matter thanks very much... 🙂
...
You need to save it as .3GP file type..filename can be anything.
You need to do it on your PC - can't rename the file type extentions on the phone.. afaik.

okay, i know this may start to sound annoying.. but i did everything step by step and the .3Gp file on my phone still doesnt work. it comes up as non supported. 😕
...
ok this is what i do. After i name my mp3 to .3gp i take the small disc out my phone and slide it in the bigger dis, then put it in my computer.
go to MY computer find the disc and open it. There should be severel folders in there open the one that says music.
you can copy and paste it. if you have both windows open (the music folder and the one with your 3gp) you can just drag the 3gp in your music folder.
THen proceed to put the disc back in your phone. To find it go to fun&apps, then file manager, then memory card. Open the music folder, find your new 3gp then go to the option to move it to the phone. YOu will then find it in your music folder in your phone and can now set it as a ringtone.
if you couldnt get this i can show...

No problem. I was in was struggling to! Have fun with your mp3 daygozsunshine
...
Ok, i did everything that it says to do! Changed the file extension, sent it to my phone as a .3gp file. I even got my phone to recognize that it was a ringtone, but when i got to select it as a ringtone, it doesn't play the song, and when i try to save it, it tells me "not supported content". It lets me select it as a tone, but it won't let me save it. Maybe i'm doing something wrong? I'm not quite sure though...if anyone could help me out here, i would REALLY appreciate it!
...
I have a prob with my phone. I've done all the steps above and move the .3gp file to my phone but when i move the file from memory card to the phone, it sends it to other files and does not give me the option of playing the .3gp file. Any suggestions?
...
So I got some of the songs transferred, but when I went to do it again and add more songs (as 3gp files) it loads to the memory card, but doesn't play, and it appears to have a different icon (a camcorder-type icon as opposed to the usual music notes icon) next to the file name. Not sure why this would be.
...
im having trouble getting the file on the phone. i changed the extension to 3gp.
i goto my computer, and it shows me a removable drive which is the phone connected to the pc. i open that up and it shows me 5 folders. sounds, images, videos, music, and other files.
i put the mp3 (which is now a .3gp) into the music folder and its there. but wen i goto my phones music folder, its empty.....
just to check, i created a folder named after myself and put it in the music folder. i went to see if it was in my phone and it was under music, where i put it.
the file im adding is 5000K, maybe thats the reason its not working?
if it is, can someone plz help me make the songs shorter? wat program can i use to do that?

I was wondering how do you make your mp3s into 30 seconds? I was also wondering how do you know rename the file instead of being an .mp3 to a .3pg?
...
I followed the exact directions but I got into few problems I was hoping someone can help me with. When I put my new 30 second songs on my phone it goes to my memory card like it is supposed to but when I look at the songs on my phone they have some kind of camcorder image next to them. When I move the songs from my memory card to my phone it gets sent to my other files folder. When I go into the other files folder all the songs have and image of a X. So I press option on them and there is nothing that can be done to set as ring tone. The only options that is really there is copy/move to phone/memory card. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Is there a programs that is perferred to download the mp3s?
...
I learned how to make it work finally. The whole time I was trying using Windows Movie Maker but in order to make it work you must use the Edit Sounds on the Samsung Cd.
...
Everytime i click on the removable drive F:, it says "Please enter disk into drive F:" What is that about??
...
