How can I set up mp3's to be played as a ringtone on a K750i? I cannot seem to set MP3's as ringtones nor a message tone. How do I do it? Do I have to convert the mp3 files into another format? Many thanks, I would be grateful if somebody can shed a light on this!!

Yes I know this, but my phone can't play mp'3 as ringtones!! Once I do what you just said, it says that 'there are no files in this folder', even though there is mp3 files in it. When I click on the song, then ascroll to 'use as', all of the options are in gray therefore I can't use it as a ringtone or a message tone!! Please help!

Operator branded phone? Files without proper DRM not supported for the purpose?

Yes it is a vodafone branded phone. Thanks, but it still says that there are no mp3's in this folder even though I can play them!!

Does the fact that it's a vodafone branded phone mean that i cannot use music as ringtones?!! If so, is there anything at all I can do about it?!

I've posted this link in identical threads more times than I have hot dinners (e.g. this thread from last week)

Complete guide for having mp3 ringtones on branded phones

and before you ask the next question, take a look at this post for the DRM packager

hope this helps
