Some users may not be able to set MP3's as ringtones because some service providers disable this feature.
The only way you can set MP3 ringtones is to either:
- DRM protect the MP3 ringtone using our free Online MP3 Maker (Details can be found here) or download DRM Packager
- Convert the MP3 to AMR using Mobile AMR Converter (Freeware). Converting to AMR does mean you will lose alot of sound quality.
Any questions? Please post below.

Hey I posted this in the ringtones forums a couple of days ago, and oyu tol dme to do the dmr package as well, but i tried that, and when i put it on my phone it still wouldnt work as a ringtone, but now the phone reads the dm file like its a info file, not a music file. it aslo says that the file is "locked". any ideas on how to fix it? ps i have the w580i
Try renaming the .dm to .mp3
In the filename, i added .mp3 but that didnt work so unless you mean something else.
Try the following... After you have DRM protected the file, Connect the phone to the PC in 'Phone Mode' and not in 'File transfer mode'. Once in phone mode, open up the file manager using the software suite, double click the phone icon and drag & drop the DRM protected MP3 to the file manager window (not into the file folders), after the coping is done, the phone will ask what you want to use the mp3 as, which you can select as ringtone.
Yay it worked! Thanks a bunch :D
What other file types does the w810i use?
Sorry man. This doesn't work for the w580i. It won't even give the option to set the file as a ringtone. The method posted works fine on the older models but not on this one. Please help.
any idea how to do it?
I have a Sony Ericsson w580i and I converted the file from .mp3 to .wavQuote:

Hi Karl,
I have a W300 and W801 and used to download music, games, etc onto my SE's all the time using the DRM manager. We had Windows XP, and now we have Vista and the DRM Manager is only for '98 and XP. Any idea how to get the DRM Manager for Vista?
Thx
Missk
Can't you just put a mp3 into your mobile phone and then while the mp3 is highlighted in the phone select use as... and then select ringtone???:blink::blink::blink::blink:

If you download the games from the free section on your PC, then transfer them onto your phone, then you dont need any credit on your phone ;)Quote:
