when i did this i just created DRM content and the converted files were sent directly to my phone i didnt have to do anything. i then deleted the old ones from my fone to save memory and have now realised that the .DM files cannot be sent by bluetooth or other means is that normal

nice guide cybervisitor. works for me.

you might want to update the original post though. i had to find the drm packager somewhere else since the sony ericsson website no longer publishes it. i found it here http://sethxp.com/index-3a.html compliments of sethxp.

I'm glad this guide is still usefull. About the broken link, yes, I'm aware that Sony Ericsson has removed the application. If people do a search, I'm sure they find the application though

ah shucks... i need R2V001. can listen to them on mediaplayer now but can't set as ringtones.

by the way, how do i go about upgrading to R2V001? oh i see... downloading off the sony ericsson site.

by the way, what numpty i am. i didn't even know what model phone i was using. haha... don't flame me for that. i just realised you were referring to the k700i whilst i'm using the k750i. as you can tell, i'm no phone whizz... how can i find out what my phone's current firmware is?

looking at this thread, i think my mobile's firmware is R1C004.
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=92737 so do you know if i still need to upgrade to the R2V001, knowing it's a k750i now?

by the way, i don't think the sony ericsson site has any firmware updates for the k750i

Can anyone with a Vodafone branded K750i confirm if mp3 files converted using DRM Packager is workable as ringtones, thanks.

UPDATE: Confirmed, so I added the K750i to the original post.

i bought a vodabrand k750i few weeks ago, no firmware update. Used DRM packager version 1.2, no settings changed. Created music.dm - then copied that onto memory card into the ringtones folder in media... works fine first time. i wouldn't suggest too drummy a tune tho, doesn't sound v good. Otherwise, boosucks to vodaphone nyah nyah nyah. Hope that helps someone. Ta to all above.

I have K700i, I have downloaded S.E. DRM 1.21 and S.E. DRM 1.34 (this one from Sony-Ericsson website). Version 1.34 doesn't support audio mime types. Version 1.21 tells me that it has created a protected file, but if I rename .dm file to .mp3 file, in properties I can see: "Protected mode: NO" and if I rename it back to .dm and send via bluetooth, the file can't be used as ringtone.

@NitemareReal

Don't rename the extension (.dm). Send it to the phone as it is and it will work.

I send the .dm file and it DOESN'T work.
I just renamed in my computer to see MP3 ID info and I can see that is not protected.
I send the .dm file but it doesn't work. It is very strange.

AND my Sony-Ericsson K700i DOESN'T recognize the .dm file as a "music" or "sound" file, I CAN'T play any .dm file. For my mobile, it is just a data file.

My phone is ok again. I had to reset it and now I have my original ringtones activated and the phone accepts and plays mp3 files as ringtone signed with Sony-Ericsson application. [addsig]

I know that a lot of people are looking for those tones (but they can't be found), so just send me a pm and I'll mail them to those who wants them.



Does anyone else have these original Ericsson ringtones? If so, a URL or copies in email would be good. Thanks.
