If I download MP3's from sites such as Woolworths Online etc, is it not possible to use them as ringtones? I downloaded one last week but it doesn't give me an option to 'use' it and it's a different icon to the rest on the phone? Are there sites available for this, just appears a cheaper option than paying £3 for part of a song?

because you d loaded it from a site like woolies, i think they put a special lock on them or sumthin to limit its usage to just listening

It would be more helpful if you let us know what phone are you talking about! ;-)

Why don't you edit your own mp3 on pc? It takes little effort, but it pays off.

its been posted before, but if you go to www.walmart.com you can download a 30sec clip of most of CD's they sell. Although i agree, cropping your own mp3's is alot better as you get the part of the song you want

I dont think this is rule breaking :-D u can do the thing to any "protected" stuff by recording it as a wav file while being played. F u want 2 use it as a ringtone u can covert it 2 mono wav file and cut the part u want 2 use as tone. Then convert in to mp3 ant upload 2 phone. U can use sterio file but mono saves memory. There are many free easy 2 use wav editing tools in the net.

i use sound forge 6 and 7. it's the same as editing text- cut out the part you like, then save it as e.g. 48kbps mono- i tried it with motorola, sounds great.

Think my problem is because when I download from Tiscali or Woolworths, the songs are given a .wma extension, the S700i won't even play these never mind set them as ringtones?
