Create your own ringtone

I describe a simple way to create your own ringtone using the Sound Recorder application in your computer and any wav converter available. If you are using Windows Mobile for Smartphone 2003 on your Motorola mpx200, you can use WMA file as ringtone.

1.

Download any available (or free) wav converter. You may try this one.

2.

Convert any song (mp3, CD) to .wav format

3.

On your PC: click Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Entertainment -> Sound Recorder

4.

On the Sound Recorder: Click File -> Open… (select the song which is already in .wav format)

5.

Position the slider to where the chorus starts (or where you want it to start)

6.

Click Edit then select Delete Before Current Position (this will delete the part of the song just before the chorus)

7.

Position the slider to where the chorus ends

8.

Click Edit then select Delete After Current Position (this will delete the rest of the song just after the chorus)

9.

Click File -> Save As…and enter

10.

Change Format to PCM. Select desired attributes (the higher the quality the bigger the file size). Click OK and Save.

11.

Copy the .wav into your phone \Mounted Volume\My Documents.
